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.
Method | Whole set | Training set | Test set |
---|---|---|---|
Otsu (regular) | 82.09 | 90.76 | 77.75 |
PC (regular) | 90.91 | 92.33 | 90.20 |
SGL/BGL (upper bound; rough bin: GT) | 94.55 | 95.37 | 94.14 |
SGL/BGL (upper bound; rough bin: PC) | 91.79 | 93.29 | 91.04 |
SGL/BGL (learning) (rough bin: PC) | N/A | N/A | 89.94 |
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.
