A novel method for binarization of badly illuminated document images

TL;DR: A novel document image binarization technique that separates text from background in badly illuminated document images by using morphological closing operation, which offers better result for document images with bad degradation and lighting variance in comparison to former common methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct gray-scale extraction of topographic features for vein recognition

TL;DR: The proposed method is better than the traditional processing (performing binarization first and then skeletonization), in that it can overcome the problem that some separate vein lines are extracted incorrectly, and it can avoid extracting two neighboring vein lines as one ridge.

Enhanced bleedthrough correction for early music documents with recto-verso registration

TL;DR: This paper's approach to registering scanned early music scores as well as modifications to two robust binarization approaches to take into account bleedthrough and the information available from the registration process determine that although the information from registration itself often makes little difference in recognition performance, other modifications to binarizations for correcting bleedthrough can yield dramatic increases in OMR results.
