An original binarization method based on connected operators is proposed in this paper. Connected operators enable to filter and/or segment an image by preserving its contours. T...
—In this paper, a new binarization algorithm for degraded document images is proposed. The method is based on positive and negative pixel energies using the Laplacian of an image...
This paper presents a new adaptive approach for document image binarization. The proposed method is mainly based on the combination of several stateof-the-art binarization methodo...

—A vast number of historical and badly degraded document images can be found in libraries, public, and national archives. Due to the complex nature of different artifacts, such p...
—In this paper, we present a novel approach for super-resolved binarization of document images acquired by low quality devices. The algorithm tries to compute the super resolutio...
