Implementation of Bernsen’s Locally Adaptive Binarization Method for Gray Scale Images
نویسنده
چکیده
In digital image processing, binarization (two-level thresholding) is a commonly used technique for image segmentation. It is the process of converting a gray scale image to a binary image. Furthermore, binarization methods are divided into two groups as global binarization and locally adaptive binarization. A number of binarization techniques have been proposed over the years. Bernsen’s method is one of locally adaptive binarization methods developed for image segmentation. In this study, Bernsen’s locally adaptive binarization method is implemented and then tested for different gray scale images.

This paper presents an evaluation of eleven locally adaptive binarization methods for gray scale images with low contrast, variable background intensity and noise. Niblack’s method with the addition of the postprocessing step of Yanowitz and Bruckstein’s method added performed the best, and was also one of the fastest binarization methods.

متن کاملAn Adaptive Logical Thresholding Method for Binarization of Blueprint Images
In a global thresholding method, a single threshold value is calculated for the whole image. Pixels with a gray scale level under the threshold level are labeled as print; pixels with a gray scale level above the threshold level are labeled as background. The process can be described as follows: b(x, y) = ½ 1 if f (x, y) ≤ T 0 otherwise (2.1) Among the many global thresholding methods, Otsu's m...

| 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...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Threshold Method for Gray Scale Character Images
Gray-scale document images are binarized in order to perform optical character recognition (OCR). To perform this binarization, a variety of techniques have been proposed for performing threshold selection. Most of these are based on the intensity distribution of the image regions. However, when the spacing between two lines is very small, it is difficult to produce high quality characters usin...

the threshold value is determined by using the maximum betweencluster variance method; however, this algorithm is less effective when the contrast between the background and the characters is low since the spatial correlation between pixels is not taken into consideration (9, 10). Bernsen’s method calculates gray values for the neighborhood area around each point and dynamically determines the ...
