TLDR
The proposed method detects the layout of the scanned document even when the image and the text regions have irregular shape, and shows that the proposed method works when the document contain multiple images.

Adaptive shock-diffusion model for restoration of degraded document images

TL;DR: Numerical experiments show that the proposed adaptive enhancement model is very effective for restoration of degraded document images with blur, noise and bleed-through, and has averagely the best performance on the DIBCO (Document Image Binarization Competition) series datasets, compared to five PDE (partial differential equation)-based models.

Improved integer/fractional order partial differential equation-based thresholding

TL;DR: An improved partial differential equation (PDE)-based binarization model is presented, which utilizes a modified structure tensor-based edge enhancement, diffusion and Binarization terms in its formulation, which enables simultaneous stain removal and faded text restoration during the binarized process.

Cross-validation of a semantic segmentation network for natural history collection specimens

TL;DR: In this article , a cross-validation approach is proposed to determine whether a semantic segmentation network possesses the flexibility required for application across different collections and institutions, which can be used to test the adaptability of the segmentation networks for use in other types of collections.

Nonlinear total variation based noise removal algorithms

TL;DR: In this article, a constrained optimization type of numerical algorithm for removing noise from images is presented, where the total variation of the image is minimized subject to constraints involving the statistics of the noise.

Scale-space and edge detection using anisotropic diffusion

TL;DR: A new definition of scale-space is suggested, and a class of algorithms used to realize a diffusion process is introduced, chosen to vary spatially in such a way as to encourage intra Region smoothing rather than interregion smoothing.

Active contours without edges

TL;DR: A new model for active contours to detect objects in a given image, based on techniques of curve evolution, Mumford-Shah (1989) functional for segmentation and level sets is proposed, which can detect objects whose boundaries are not necessarily defined by the gradient.

The structure of images

TL;DR: It is shown that any image can be embedded in a one-parameter family of derived images (with resolution as the parameter) in essentially only one unique way if the constraint that no spurious detail should be generated when the resolution is diminished, is applied.

Document analysis system

TL;DR: The requirements and components for a proposed Document Analysis System, which assists a user in encoding printed documents for computer processing, are outlined and several critical functions have been investigated and the technical approaches are discussed.
