: In this paper, an image binarization method based on a new discriminant criterion is proposed. The criterion emphasizes much the homogeneity of the object gray level distribution...
An original binarization method based on connected operators is proposed in this paper. Connected operators enable to filter and/or segment an image by preserving its contours. T...
The choice of the best binarization algorithm is very critical for any document image processing system, since it is one of the first tasks and any mistake it performs will be car...
DIBCO 2009 is the first International Document Image Binarization Contest organized in the context of ICDAR 2009 conference. The general objective of the contest is to identify cu...
This paper presents a new adaptive approach for document image binarization. The proposed method is mainly based on the combination of several stateof-the-art binarization methodo...
