Removal of Gray Rubber Stamps
Soumyadeep Dey, Jayanta Mukhopadhyay, Shamik Sural · 2016
Rubber stamps often overlap with original text content of a document, and hence obscure the text regions very badly. Removal of these stamp regions becomes a necessity for successful conversion of such documents into electronic format. Stamp removal from a document becomes more difficult when they are in gray scale, or text and stamp are of the same color. In this paper, we propose a technique to remove such stamps from overlapped regions by identifying stamp regions and stamp pixels.
