Abstract

This paper introduces a new database of 25 recto/verso image pairs from documents suffering from bleed-through degradation, together with manually created foreground text masks. The structure and creation of the database is described, and three bleed-through restoration methods are compared in two ways; visually, and quantitatively using the ground truth masks.
