Abstract :
In this paper, we put forward a new ground truth database of 500 real ancient document images suffering from different degrees of an ink bleed-through degradation. Each image is associated with a semi-automatic generated ground-truth mask. The conception and creation of this database is described. In addition we compare three single-side image restoration approaches in two ways: visually and quantitatively using the generated ground truth masks.
