摘要
The text on one side of historical documents often seeps through and appears on the other side, so the bleed-through is a common problem in historical document images. It makes the document images hard to read and the text difficult to recognize. To improve the image quality and readability, the bleed-through has to be removed. This paper proposes a global and local features extraction based bleed-through removal method. The Gaussian mixture model is used to get the global features of the images. Local features are extracted by the patch around each pixel. Then, the extreme learning machine classifier is utilized to classify the scanned images into the foreground text and the bleed-through component. Experimental results on real document image datasets show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art bleed-through removal methods and preserves the text strokes well. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
