Abstract:
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for adaptive binarization of degraded document images. Document binarization algorithms suffer from poor and variable contrast in document images. We propose a contrast independent binarization algorithm that does not require any parameter setting by user. Therefore, it can handle various types of degraded document images. The proposed algorithm involves two consecutive stages. At the first stage, independent of contrast between foreground and background, some parts of each character are extracted and in the second stage, the gray level of foreground and background are locally estimated. For each pixel, the average of estimated foreground and background gray levels is defined as threshold. After extensive experiments, the proposed binarization algorithm demonstrate superior performance against four well-know binarization algorithms on a set of degraded document images captured with camera.
