Comparison of Niblack inspired binarization methods for ancient documents

چکیده
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 robustness and effectiveness when evaluated on low quality ancient document images.

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...
