Title
Collaborative Access to Ancient Documents: Towards a Distributed Comparison of Pre-Processing Approaches
Abstract
With the evolution of the next generation networks several applications have emerged to be used through the web. Applications allowing the analysis and the recognition of documents are emerged to be used through Internet. Document pre-processing output may affect the efficiency of document analysis and recognition systems. In order to ameliorate the efficiency of such systems, an objective evaluation of pre-processing steps is necessary. The authors propose a new framework for automatic evaluation of binarization approaches. The evaluation of binarization approaches is based on the comparison between binary images and their ground-truths. For that reason a method for the generation of ground-truth is proposed. This method is evaluated using the benchmarking dataset DIBCO 2009. The comparison between binarization methods' results is based on several evaluation metrics as FM and PSNR. The proposed framework is tested on printed images 250 images from the Google-Books collection and on handwritten images 60 images from the IAM historical database.
