=Description=
Binarization of handwritten Document Images.

There are actually two tasks, depending on the nature of the binarization method used.

# For regular binarization methods, the task is to binarize all 15 document images.
# For learning-based binarization methods, the task is to use images number 1 to 5 for training, and then binarize images number 6 to 16.

A few baseline methods have been provided: PC (phase congruency) binarization method [Ziaei2012], and SGL/BGL binarization method [Farrahi2009, Farrahi2010]. The SGL/BGL method uses a rough binarization as its initialization.

=Evaluation Protocol=

# For regular methods, the average F-measure of the binarized images against the provided ground truth is used as the performance of the binarization method in question.
# For learning-based methods, the average F-measure of the binarized images number 6 to 15 against the provided ground truth is used as the performance of the binarization method in question.

A metacode of a learning-based binarization method based on stroke gray level (SGL) and background gray level (BGL) is provided. The executable of the method will be provided in near future.

The proposed learning-based binarization method uses the SGL and the BGL to determine a locally-adaptive threshold value based on a parameter (alpha). The optimal selection of this parameter is the learning part of this method.
