—In this paper, a new binarization algorithm for degraded document images is proposed. The method is based on positive and negative pixel energies using the Laplacian of an image...
We show that document image decoding (DID) supervised training algorithms, as a result of recent refinements, achieve high accuracy with low manual effort even under conditions o...
In this paper we present a procedure for removing ruling lines from a handwritten document image that does not break existing characters. We take advantage of common ruling line p...
The use of gradients in text images is nowadays quite frequent. Existing segmentation methods encounter serious problems when it comes to modern text images where gradients might ...
We describe DSPHERE1 - a decentralized system for crawling, indexing, searching and ranking of documents in the World Wide Web. Unlike most of the existing search technologies tha...
