—The goal of this paper is to correct bleed-through in degraded documents using a variational approach. The variational model is adapted using an estimated background according t...
Global and local adaptive thresholding techniques have been shown effective on particular types of documents. None produces consistently good results on all types of documents. In...
This paper presents a new enhanced text extraction algorithm from degraded document images on the basis of the probabilistic models. The observed document image is considered as a...
It is common for libraries to provide public access to historical and ancient document image collections. It is common for such document images to require specialized processing i...
Existing skeletonization methods operate directly on the binary image ignoring the gray-level information. In this paper we propose a new method for the skeletonization of handwri...
