Robust extraction of text from scene images is essential for successful scene text recognition. Scene images usually have non-uniform illumination, complex background, and existen...
The paper compares six conventional binarization methods for the special purpose of subsequent analysis of scanned insect footprints. We introduce a new performance criterion for p...
The problem of binarization of gray level images acquired under nonuniform illumination is reconsidered. Yanowitz and Bruckstein proposed to use for image binarization an adaptive...
In this paper, a new document image binarization technique is presented, as an improved version of the state-of-the-art adaptive logical level technique (ALLT). The original ALLT ...
In this paper, we present a binarization technique specifically designed for historical document images. Existing methods for this problem focus on either finding a good global th...
