Adaptive binarization is an important first step in many document analysis and OCR processes. This paper describes a fast adaptive binarization algorithm that yields the same qual...
The choice of the best binarization algorithm is very critical for any document image processing system, since it is one of the first tasks and any mistake it performs will be car...
Abstract--This paper extends the transition method for binarization based on transition pixels, a generalization of edge pixels. This method originally computes transition threshol...
DIBCO 2009 is the first International Document Image Binarization Contest organized in the context of ICDAR 2009 conference. The general objective of the contest is to identify cu...
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...
