Abstract

The area of image binarization has matured to a significant extent in last few years. There has been multiple, well-defined metrics for quantitative performance estimation of the existing techniques for binarization. However, it stills remains a problem to benchmark one binarization technique with another as different metrics are used to establish the comparative edges of different binarization approaches. In this paper, an experimental work is reported that uses three different metrics for quantitative performance evaluation of seven binarization techniques applied on four different types of images: Arial, Texture, Degraded text and MRI. Based on visually and experimentally the most appropriate methods for binarization of images have been identified for each of the four classes under consideration. We have used standard image databases along with the archived reference images, as available, for experimental purpose.
