Abstract :
In this paper, we proposed an effective document image binarization technique to work with various kind of document degradation such as, bleed-through, aging and bad illumination conditions. The proposed method was compared to various global and local methods. The obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach versus local and global approaches.
