Edge-preserving prefiltering for document image binarization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a novel coplanar filter, which exploits the coplanarity of gray-level distribution of neighboring pixels, to pre-filter the document images. Experiments show that the proposed filter exhibits the following desired properties for document image binarization: (1) impulsive noise removal, (2) piecewise smoothing, and (3) sharp edge preservation.

Document Image Binarization Using Threshold Segmentation
Binarization is process to generate binary image from document image. Document image binarization has already under research from past many years, and many binarization algorithms have been proposed for different types of degraded document images. Document image Binarization is very popular to upgrade old handwritten and machine printed documents. Still to recover degraded document is very tedi...
متن کاملAn Improved Contrast Image Based Document Image Binarization Technique for Degraded Document Images
Document Image Binarization converts a gray-scale document image into binary document image .It is usually performed in the pre-processing stage of document image analysis and it aims to segment the foreground text from the document background. Segmentation of foreground text from the document background is a difficult task in the case of degraded document images. In this paper we propose a sim...
متن کاملDocument Image Binarization Technique for Degraded Document Images
Document image binarization is a vital pre-processing technique for document image analysis that segments text from badly degraded document images. In this paper, we propose a robust document image binarization technique that is based on the concept of adaptive image contrast. The adaptive image contrast which is formed by combining local image contrast and the local image gradient makes it tol...

In this paper, we present two connected MRF models, the edge-preserving smoothing model followed by the modified standard regularization, for the adaptive binarization of the non-uniform images in the presence of noise. In particular, we have developed the computational model for the modified standard regularization method to be used to calculate the adaptive threshold surface for noisy images....
متن کاملA Robust Document Image Binarization Technique for Degraded Document Images
Segmentation of text from badly degraded document images is a very challenging task due to the high inter/intravariation between the document background and the foreground text of different document images. In this paper, we propose a novel document image binarization technique that addresses these issues by using adaptive image contrast. The adaptive image contrast is a combination of the loca...
