چکیده

This paper presents a linear-based restoration method for bleed-through degraded document images and uses a Bayesian approach for bleed-through reduction. A variation of iterated conditional modes (ICM) optimisation is used whereby samples are drawn for the clean image estimates, whilst the remaining variables are estimated via the mode of their conditional probabilities. The proposed method is tested on various samples of scanned manuscript images with different degrees of degradation, and results visually compared with a recent user-assisted restoration method.

Enhanced bleed through removal for scanned document images

Back-to-front interference is a common problem in documents, printed on translucent pages with insufficient opacity and is referred to as bleed through. The present state-ofart algorithms address bleed through based on entropy [1-3], entropic correlation [4] and discriminator analysis [5, 10]. However, a common drawback of such algorithms is their inefficient processing of documents that are ei...

A Comparative Survey of Image Binarisation Algorithms for Optical Recognition on Degraded Musical Sources

Binarisation of greyscale images is a critical step in optical music recognition (OMR) preprocessing. Binarising music documents is particularly challenging because of the nature of music notation, even more so when the sources are degraded, e.g., with ink bleed-through from the other side of the page. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of 25 binarisation algorithms tested on a set of...

Reduction of Bleed-through in Scanned Manuscript Documents

Many old manuscript documents were written on both sides of the paper, and the bleed-through from one side of the document to the other increases the difficulty in reading or deciphering the information on the page. This paper presents techniques for reducing such bleed-through distortion using techniques of digital image processing. Both sides of the document are scanned, maintaining full spat...

Binarization of Document Image

Documents Image Binarization is performed in the preprocessing stage for document analysis and it aims to segment the foreground text from the document background. A fast and accurate document image binarization technique is important for the ensuing document image processing tasks such as optical character recognition (OCR). Though document image binarization has been studied for many years, t...
