چکیده
This paper proposes a novel binarization algorithm for converting the grayscale and color images into black and white images. The binarization is one of the very important process in all the researches pertaining to the field of the Document image processing and Pattern recognition. Since quality of binary image plays a critical role in the further processing of the document, especially in the area of researches belonging to the field of Optical character recognition the accuracy of the character recognition mainly depends upon the binarized image. It is very important to perform Binarization accurately and with lowest time complexity. This paper attempts to devise a simple and an efficient algorithm for binarization in order to improvise the outputs in the process of character recognition of various scripts with reduced time complexity.

It include an adaptive image contrast based document image binarization technique t...
متن کاملStroke Width-Based Contrast Feature for Document Image Binarization
Automatic segmentation of foreground text from the background in degraded document images is very much essential for the smooth reading of the document content and recognition tasks by machine. In this paper, we present a novel approach to the binarization of degraded document images. The proposed method uses a new local contrast feature extracted based on the stroke width of text. First, a pre...

Abstract: Binarization is performed in the preprocessing stage for document inspection. Binarization of degraded document images improve the result from poor quality of the paper, the printing process, ink blot and fading document and remove noise from examine. In recent years, libraries have begun to digitize historical document that are of interest to a wide range of people, with the goal of ...
متن کاملA Hybrid Image Binarization Technique for Enhancement of Degraded Document Images
Image processing is a process of analysis and manipulation of digital images, which improves the quality of an image. Image binarization is a pre-processing step which improves the quality of the image. Image binarization is used to improve the image quality and it segment the pixel values into two categories; i.e. black pixel as foreground and white pixel as background. In this research work, ...
