A New Method for Shading Removal and Binarization of Documents Acquired with Portable Digital Cameras
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photo documents, documents digitized with portable digital cameras, often are affected by non-uniform shading. This paper proposes a new method to remove the shade of document images captured with digital cameras followed by a new binarization algorithm. This method is able to automatically work with images of different resolutions and lighting patterns without any parameter adjustment. The proposed method was tested with 300 color camera documents, 20 synthetic images with ground truth lighting pattern and grayscale images of the dataset of CBDAR 2007 dewarping contest. The results show that the new algorithm proposed here works in a wide variety of scenarios and keeps the paper texture of the original document.

PhotoDoc: A Toolbox for Processing Document Images Acquired Using Portable Digital Cameras
This paper introduces PhotoDoc a software toolbox designed to process document images acquired with portable digital cameras. PhotoDoc was developed as an ImageJ plug-in. It performs border removal, perspective and skew correction, and image binarization. PhotoDoc interfaces with Tesseract, an open source Optical Character Recognizer originally developed by HP and distributed by Google.
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Skin Lesion Border Detection in Dermoscopy Images
Background: With advances in medical imaging systems, digital dermoscopy has become one of the major imaging modalities in the analysis of skin lesions. Thus, automated segmentation or border detection has a great impact on the subsequent steps of skin cancer computer-aided diagnosis using demoscopy images. Since dermoscopy images suffer from artifacts such as shading and hair, there is a need ...
متن کاملNon-destructive Method for Estimating Biomass of Plants Using Digital Camera Images
Abstract Plant growth and biomass assessments are required in production and research. Such assessments are followed by major decisions (e.g., harvest timing) that channel resources and influence outcomes. In research, resources required to assess crop status affect other aspects of experimentation and, therefore, discovery. Destructive harvests are important because they influence treatment s...
متن کاملForeground-Background Regions Guided Binarization of Camera-Captured Document Images
Binarization is an important preprocessing step in several document image processing tasks. Nowadays handheld camera devices are in widespread use, that allow fast and flexible document image capturing. But, they may produce degraded grayscale image, especially due to bad shading or non-uniform illumination. State-of-the-art binarization techniques, which are designed for scanned images, do not...
متن کاملBinarization of camera-captured document using A MAP approach
Document binarization is one of the initial and critical steps for many document analysis systems. Nowadays, with the success and popularity of hand-held devices, large efforts are motivated to convert documents into digital format by using hand-held cameras. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian based maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation algorithm to binarize the camera-captured document image...
