In this paper we present a top-down, projection-profile based algorithm to separate text blocks from image blocks in a Devanagari document. We use a distinctive feature of Devana...
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. ...
—Document Image Binarization techniques have been studied for many years, and many practical binarization techniques have been developed and applied successfully on commercial do...
In this paper, we present a compressed pattern matching method for searching user queried words in the CCITT Group 4 compressed document images, without decompressing. The feature...
In this paper, a new threshold correction method for document image binarization that is forcused on ruled-line extraction is presented. This method enhances the binary image of a...
