A combined approach for the binarization of handwritten document images

TL;DR: A combination of a global and a local adaptive binarization method at connected component level is proposed that aims in an improved overall performance and achieves top performance after extensive testing on the DIBCO (Document Image Binarization Contest) series datasets.

Segmentation of historical machine-printed documents using Adaptive Run Length Smoothing and skeleton segmentation paths

TL;DR: Use of a novel Adaptive Run Length Smoothing Algorithm (ARLSA) in order to face the problem of complex and dense document layout, and detection of noisy areas and punctuation marks that are usual in historical machine-printed documents.

DeepOtsu: Document enhancement and binarization using iterative deep learning

TL;DR: The proposed method provides a new, clean version of the degraded image, one that is suitable for visualization and which shows promising results for binarization using Otsu’s global threshold, based on enhanced images learned iteratively by the neural network.

A double-threshold image binarization method based on edge detector

TL;DR: This paper presents a new double-threshold image binarization method based on the edge and intensity information that is effective on thebinarization of images with low contrast, noise and non-uniform illumination.

A Double-Threshold Image Binarization Method based on Edge Detector Pattern Recognition

Chen Q, +2 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a double-threshold image binarization method based on the edge and intensity information, which first finds seeds near the image edges and then uses closed image edges to partition the binarized image that is generated using a high threshold.

Survey over image thresholding techniques and quantitative performance evaluation

TL;DR: 40 selected thresholding methods from various categories are compared in the context of nondestructive testing applications as well as for document images, and the thresholding algorithms that perform uniformly better over nonde- structive testing and document image applications are identified.
