Binarizing complex scanned documents
Rafael Dueire Lins, Gabriel de F. P e Silva, Marcos Martins de Almeida · 2015
Most binarization algorithms are suitable for scanned text documents and do not work adequately with complex documents that encompass photos, charts and text simultaneously. This paper presents a new binarization algorithm that works on complex documents. Each of the elements in the image is processed depending on its nature, thus their binarization takes that into account to preserve the original content.
