نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an objective evaluation methodology for handwritten document image binarization techniques that aims to reduce the human involvement in the ground truth construction and consecutive testing. A detailed description of the methodology along with a benchmarking of the state-of-the-art binarization algorithms based on the proposed methodology is presented.

Ancient Document Images Enhancement Using Phase Based Binarization
In this paper, we present a phase-based binarization model for degraded document images, also a post processing method that can improve any binarization method and a ground truth generation tool. Usually, many binarization techniques are implemented in the literature for different types of binarization problems. It include an adaptive image contrast based document image binarization technique t...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Image Denoising and Restoration of Handwritten Degraded Document Images
The restoration of a blurry or noisy image is commonly performed with a MAP estimator, which maximizes a posterior probability to reconstruct a clean image from a degraded image. A MAP estimator, when used with a sparse gradient image prior, reconstructs piecewise smooth images and typically removes textures that are important for visual realism. The three public datasets that were used in the ...
متن کاملA Performance Evaluation Methodology for Historical Document Image Binarization
Document image binarization is of great importance in the document image analysis and recognition pipeline since it affects further stages of the recognition process. The evaluation of a binarization method aids in studying its algorithmic behaviour and verifying its effectiveness by providing qualitative and quantitative indication of its performance. This work concerns a pixel-based binarizat...
متن کاملA Combination of Laplacian Energy, Global and Adaptive Techniques for Degraded Document Image Binarization
Many document image binarization algorithms have previously been proposed for enhancing the performance of degraded document image binarization. This paper reviews algorithms for document image binarization. All of the algorithms have some advantages and disadvantages. To remove the drawbacks in this paper a combined approach is proposed that first combines different types of global and local t...
متن کاملTrier and Jain: Goal-directed Evaluation of Binarization Methods
| This paper presents a methodology for evaluation of low-level image analysis methods, using binariza-tion (two-level thresholding) as an example. Binarization of scanned gray scale images is the rst step in most document image analysis systems. Selection of an appropriate binarization method for an input image domain is a diicult problem. Typically, a human expert evaluates the binarized imag...
