Abstract

Most of the document pre-processing techniques are parameter dependent. In this paper, we present a novel framework that learns optimal parameters, depending on the nature of the document image content for binarization and text/graphics segmentation. The learning problem has been formulated as an optimization problem using EM algorithm to adaptively learn optimal parameters. Experimental results have established the effectiveness of our approach.
