In this paper a robust multifont character recognition system for degraded documents such as photocopy or fax is described. The system is based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) usin...
We compare in this study two image restoration approaches for the pre-processing of printed documents: namely the Non-local Means filter and a total variation minimization approac...
Printing and scanning of text documents introduces degradations to the characters which can be modeled. Interestingly, certain combinations of the parameters that govern the degra...
Many document-based applications, including popular Web browsers, email viewers, and word processors, have a ‘Find on this Page’ feature that allows a user to find every occur...

In this paper, we propose a generalized shock model for the enhancement and restoration of degraded gray-level character images. This model is a quasi-linear hyperbolic partial di...
