ABSTRACT
Aiming at the problem of the chinese rubbing image segmentation under a denoising algorithm based on deep convolutional neural network is proposed. Document enhancement and binarization is the main pre-processing step in document analysis process. At first, a feed-forward denoising convolutional neural networks as a pre-processing methods for document image has been used for denoise images of additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN). The residual learning mechanism is used to learn the mapping from the noisy image to the residual image between the noisy image and the clean image in the neural network training process. A median filtering has been employed for denoising 'salt and pepper' noise. Given the learned denoising and enhanced image, we compute the adaptive threshold image using local adaptive threshold algorithm and then applies it to produce a binary output image. Experimental results show that combined those algorithms is robust in dealing with non-uniform illuminated, low contrast historic document images in terms of both accuracy and efficiency.
