ABSTRACT
Historical documents contain generally different kind of degradations. Due to this degradations the application of methods of noise removal during a preprocessing stage seems to be necessary. Since the noise which, exists in the original document can not be eliminated using a simple noise removal algorithm and it influences the preprocessing result e.g. the binarization, a function of noise detection seems to be necessary. We present in this paper a method for the selection of the input parameters of binarization methods according to the noise type detected in the image. The tests are achieved on benchmarking datasets used at DIBCO 2009 and H-DIBCO 2010. The results returned by the binarization methods using the noise features are promising.

A Median Filter Based on Judging Impulse Noise by Statistic and Adaptive Threshold
CISP '08: Proceedings of the 2008 Congress on Image and Signal Processing, Vol. 3 - Volume 03In order to improve the performances of median filter, a median filter based on judging impulse noise by statistic and adaptive threshold is proposed. This method includes two steps of judging impulse noise pixels and restoring it. First judging impulse ...
An efficient median filter based method for removing random-valued impulse noise
In this paper, we propose a two-phase median filter based iterative method for removing random-valued impulse noise. In the first phase, we use the adaptive center-weighted median filter to identify pixels which are likely to be corrupted by noise (...
