Phase-Based Binarization of Ancient Document Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main defects present in historical documents are darkness, non-uniform clarification, bleed-through and faded characters. To remove these defects binarization method is used. In this paper a phase based binarization method is studied in which phase of ancient document images is preserved. This method is derived in to three steps: preprocessing, main binarization and post processing. In preprocessing phase preserved denoised image is derived. In main binarization two phase feature maps are derived are maximum moment of phase congruency covariance and a locally weighted mean phase angle. At last in post processing Gaussian and median filter is use for enhancement of image. It is also improve the performance of binarization methodologies.

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...

Here presenting a phase-based binarization model for ancient document images, and also a post processing method which can improve any binarization method and a ground truth generation tool. Three feature maps derived from the phase information of an input document image form the core of this binarization model. These features are the maximum moment of phase corresponding to covariance, a locall...

Segmentation of text from badly degraded document images are a very challenging task due to the high inters/intravariation between the document background and the foreground text of different document images. These features are the maximum moment of phase congruency covariance, a locally weighted mean phase angle, and a phase preserved denoised image. The proposed model consists of three standa...

In this paper, we present a new sliding window based local thresholding technique ‘NICK’ and give a detailed comparison of some existing sliding-window based thresholding algorithms with our method. The proposed method aims at achieving better binarization results, specifically, for ancient document images. NICK has been inspired from the Niblack’s binarization method and exhibits its robustnes...
متن کاملBinarization Of Ancient Document Images
Ancient documents accumulate a significant amount of human heritage over time. However, many environmental factors, improper handling, and the poor quality of the materials used in their creation cause them to suffer a high degree of degradation of various types. There are lots of ancient documents which are badly degraded. It is very difficult to segment text from the document, as there is a v...
