Abstract

This paper proposes an algorithm to enhance text documents using intuitionistic fuzzy approach. The text document to be enhanced is obtained through scanner. In real life situations, this type of document occurs as handwritten/printed text and historical documents. Contrast intensification (CI) operator on intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) can be used to improve the quality of such degraded images. This enhancement supports the human perception in image processing applications. The aim of contrast enhancement is to process a given image so that the result is more suitable than the original for pattern recognition
