摘要: Binarization methods are applied to document images for discriminating the text from background based on pure thresholding and filtering combined with image processing algorithms. The proposed binarization procedure consists of five discrete steps in processing, different classes images. A refinement technique enhances further quality. Results Byzantine historical manuscripts discussed potential applications research proposed. main contribution this paper is propose a simple robust pre-filtered images, simulation results also presented.
