Efficient Binary and Run Length Morphology and its Application to Document Image Processing
Thomas Michael Breuel · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2007
This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of an open source library for mathematical morphology based on packed binary and run-length compressed images for document imaging applications. Abstractions and patterns useful in the implementation of the interval operations are described. A number of benchmarks and comparisons to bit-blit based implementations on standard document images are provided.
