Binarization of degraded document images based on hierarchical deep supervised network

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a supervised binarization method based on the deep supervised networks.

• The multi-scale deep supervised network for binarization has not been reported yet.

• A hierarchical architecture is designed to distinguish text from background noises.

• Different feature levels are dealt by the multi-scale architecture.

• The performance results are considerably better than state-of-the-art methods.
