Digital Restoration by Denoising and Binarization of Historical Manuscripts Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter deals with digital restoration, preservation, and data base storage of historical manuscripts images. It focuses on restoration techniques and binarization methods combined with image processing applied on document images for text background enhancement and discrimination. Sequential image processing procedures are applied for image refinement and enhancement on quality class categorized images. Research results on historical (i.e. Byzantine, old newspapers, etc) manuscripts are presented.

Restoration of Degraded Historical Document Image: An Adaptive Multilayer-Information Binarization Technique
Binary image is the essential format for document image processing, and the operation of the subsequent steps depends on the quality of the binarization process. The objective of this research is to propose a new binarization method based on adaptive multilayer-information for restoration of degraded historical document images. This paper focuses on degraded Thai historical document images, whi...
متن کاملMultispectral Image Restoration of Historical Document Images
Culture is preserved through various documents which is a part of the civilization and heritage. Due to extinction and single document copies available for the future generations about the ancient scripts, the archiving of these documents in the digital process is the solution for these problems. In this paper, the aim is to restore the historical document from tears, stains and poor visibility...
متن کاملHybrid Binariztion Technique for Historical Manuscripts
This paper presents a new hybrid approach for the binarization and enhancement of Historical Manuscript. This paper deals with degradations which occur due to shadows, non-uniform illumination, low contrast and strain. We follow two distinct method of Binarization with a pre-processing procedure using a adaptive Wiener filter, a rough estimation of foreground regions and a background surface ca...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Image Denoising and Restoration of Handwritten Degraded Document Images
The restoration of a blurry or noisy image is commonly performed with a MAP estimator, which maximizes a posterior probability to reconstruct a clean image from a degraded image. A MAP estimator, when used with a sparse gradient image prior, reconstructs piecewise smooth images and typically removes textures that are important for visual realism. The three public datasets that were used in the ...
متن کاملOCR binarization and image pre-processing for searching historical documents
We consider the problem of document binarization as a pre-processing step for optical character recognition (OCR) for the purpose of keyword search of historical printed documents. A number of promising techniques from the literature for binarization, pre-filtering, and post-binarization denoising were implemented along with newly developed methods for binarization: an error diffusion binarizat...
