Existing skeletonization methods operate directly on the binary image ignoring the gray-level information. In this paper we propose a new method for the skeletonization of handwri...
In this paper, a new efficient word spotting methodology is presented that can be applied to historical printed documents without requiring any previous block or word segmentation...
This paper presents a new approach for the binarization of seriously degraded manuscript. We introduce a new technique based on a Markov Random Field (MRF) model of the document. ...
We describe a threshold-based local algorithm for image binarization. The main idea is to compute a transition energy using pixel value differences taken from a neighborhood aroun...
