Title
Complex image processing with less data—Document image binarization by integrating multiple pre-trained U-Net modules
Abstract
•Propose a novel document binarization method by cascading pre-trained U-Nets.•Use pre-trained U-Net for solving a training image shortage problem.•Study for optimal inter-module skip-connections between U-Net modules.•Analyze the results of DIBCO images included various types of noise.•Compare all DIBCO dataset (2009–2018) and show robust performance.
