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...
Abstract—This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for preprocessing document images prior to binarization in character recognition problems. Our method is similar in its approac...
In this article, we propose a special type of decision tree, called a decision cascade, for binarizing document images. Such images are produced by cameras, resulting in varying de...
This paper proposes a statistical approach to degraded handwritten form image preprocessing including binarization and form line removal. The degraded image is modeled by a Markov...
Many document images are rich in color and have complex background. To detect text from them, a standard approach utilizes both color and binary information. This often leads to t...
