Abstract :
A novel adaptive binarization method based on wavelet filter is proposed in this paper, which shows comparable performance to other similar methods and processes faster, so that it is more suitable for real-time processing and applicable for mobile devices. The proposed method is evaluated on complex scene images of ICDAR 2005 Robust Reading Competition, and experimental results provide a support for our work.
