چکیده
An effective approach for extracting document images from a As an example, Otsu’s celebrated paper [8] chooses the optinoisy background is introduced. The entire scheme is divided into three submum threshold by maximizing the between-class variance with stechniques – the initial preprocessing operations for noise cluster tightening, an exhaustive search, while, Kittler and Illingworth’s work [5] introduction of a new thresholding method by maximizing the ratio of stanassumes two separate normal distributions and minimizes the dard deviations of the combined effect on the image to the sum of weighted error. In another study, Kapur et al. [6] have found the threshclasses and finally the image restoration phase by image binarization utilizold by maximizing the entropy of the gray-level histograms ing the proposed optimum threshold level. The proposed method is found of resulting classes. However, our proposed non-parametric to be efficient compared to the existing schemes in terms of computational scheme has assumed two different overlapping pixel clusters, complexity as well as speed with better noise rejection. one for background noise and the other for the image. Our Keywords— Document image extraction, Preprocessing, Ratio of stangoal is to restore the image cluster by, first, preprocessing the dard deviations, Bi-level adaptive thresholding. image to tighten the cluster distributions and then, searching further for the optimum bi-level threshold with a fast algorithm which basically maximizes the ratio of standard deviations of

A Novel and Robust Wavelet based Super Resolution Reconstruction of Low Resolution Images using Efficient Denoising and Adaptive Interpolation
High Resolution images can be reconstructed from several blurred, noisy and aliased low resolution images using a computational process know as super resolution reconstruction. Super resolution reconstruction is the process of combining several low resolution images into a single higher resolution image. In this paper we concentrate on a special case of super resolution problem where the wrap i...

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for removing noise in satellite images by combining Wavelet Thresholding, Total Variation in wavelet domain and Bilateral Filter, Joint Bilateral Filter (JBF) in spatial domain. During the first stage, the noisy image is passed through Bilateral Filter(BF) and some amount of noise is reduced but the image becomes blurred, hence adaptive wavelet thresho...
متن کاملAn Efficient Curvelet Framework for Denoising Images
Wiener filter suppresses noise efficiently. However, it makes the out image blurred. Curvelet preserves the edges of natural images perfectly, but, it produces visual distortion artifacts and fuzzy edges to the restored image, especially in homogeneous regions of images. In this paper, a new image denoising framework based on Curvelet transform and wiener filter is proposed, which can stop nois...

متن کاملMultilevel Rendering of Document Images
Rendering document images for scanning and printing applications typically involves binarization via adaptive thresholding, halftoning, or color dropout. While bitonal rendering is often adequate, there are cases where multi-level rendering is required to capture important image characteristics. In this paper, we present two methods for multilevel rendering of document images. The first method ...
