Parameter tuning for document image binarization using a racing algorithm

作者：

Highlights：

• It is investigated the use of I/F-Race to tune document image binarization methods.

• The method combines visual perception with the minimization of an energy function.

• Our experiments show that I/F-Race suggests promising parametric configurations.

• The binarization algorithm configured by I/F-Race outperforms other recent methods.
