Abstract

Hausdorff distance (HD) and its modifications provides one of the best approaches for matching of binary images. This paper proposes a formalism generalizing almost all of these HD based methods. Numerical experiments for searching words in binary text images are carried out with old Bulgarian typewritten text, printed Bulgarian Chrestomathy from 1884 and Slavonic manuscript from 1574.
