Fast Binarization of Unevenly Illuminated Document Images Based on Background Estimation for Optical Character Recognition Purposes

One of the key operations during the image preprocessing step in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) algorithms is image binarization. Although for uniformly illuminated images, obtained typically by atbed scanners, the use of a single global threshold may be sufficient for further recognition of in...
