Restoration and Segmentation of Highly Degraded Characters Using a Shape-Independent Level Set Approach and Multi-level Classifi
Segmentation of ancient documents is challenging. In the worst cases, text characters become fragmented as the results of strong degradation processes. New active contour methods ...
