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In this paper, we present a binarization technique specifically designed for historical document images.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...
Scanned document images are nowadays becoming available in increasingly higher resolutions. Meanwhile, the variations in image quality within typical document collections increase...

Converting a scanned document to a binary format (black and white) is a key step in the digitization process. While many existing binarization algorithms operate robustly for well...
We propose a novel coplanar filter, which exploits the coplanarity of gray-level distribution of neighboring pixels, to pre-filter the document images. Experiments show that the p...
