1 0th WSEAS Int. Conf. on MATHEMATICAL METHODS AD COMPUTATIOAL TECHIQUES I ELECTRICAL EGIEERIG (MMACTEE'08), Sofia, Bulgaria, May -4, 008 Adaptive preprocessing of scanned documents ROUME KOUTCHEV Radio-communications Dept. Technical University of Sofia Bul. Kl. Ohridsky, 8 Sofia 000, BULGARIA VLADIMIR TODOROV T&K Engineering Co. Mladost 3, POB Sofia 7 BULGARIA ROUMIAA KOUTCHEVA T&K Engineering Co. Mladost 3, POB Sofia 7 BULGARIA Abstract: A new approach for scanned documents preprocessing, aimed at their efficient archiving with retained visual quality is presented in this paper. The preprocessing is based on image filtration, which consists of Gaussian noise removal with adaptive digital Wiener filter, followed by correction of the uneven background illumination with D digital filtration. Then the tets (graphics) are etracted using a special method for image segmentation. The presented approach permits further adaptive processing of the etracted tets and their background in result of which higher compression with retained image quality is obtained. The method ensures very good results when old documents with complicated image structure are processed and archived. Key words: image filtration, image segmentation, image archiving, lossless compression Introduction In the everyday practice, large amounts of paper documents have to be archived and stored. The ability to ensure fast access to the authentic information via Internet is of great importance for the up-to-date digital libraries, especially when historical archives are concerned. The current digital technologies permit the creation of electronic copies of the documents and their archiving. For this, the document is scanned and the digital image obtained is compressed and saved. The compression is usually performed transforming the image to jpg format. The efficient compression is of high importance and the preprocessing affects the compression ratio to a high degree. The standards for still image compression, JPEG and JPEG 000 [] are very efficient when natural halftone images are processed, but for high compression ratios the image quality of tets and graphics is significantly deteriorated. The efficient compression of documents images requires more fleible approach, adapted to the data specifics. More problems arose when compound images (comprising tets and pictures) are processed. The best approach is to process them in different way. In many cases the compression of tet and its background requires the use of some kind of adaptive image filtration and segmentation. The most frequently used techniques for noise filtration are based on the use of non-linear (adaptive median, rang or morphologic) filters []. Such filters are usually used to remove noise of the type salt and pepper. Their main disadvantage is that the performance of such filters is unpredictable to some degree and applying them on tets can result in inadmissible distortions. The processing then usually continues with some kind of adaptive segmentation based on recursive merging operations [3]. The aim of the paper is to develop new approach for preprocessing of grayscale images, in result of which to obtain higher compression ratio with retained image quality. The preprocessing comprises adaptive filtration, followed by image segmentation, aimed at the tet etraction from the image background. The work is arranged as follows: Section presents the algorithms used for the image filtration; Section 3 - the method for image segmentation, in Section 4 are presented some of the eperimental results obtained and in the Conclusion (Section 5) are pointed the method advantages, its future development and the possible application areas. Image filtration Two kinds of filtration aimed at the scanned documents efficient preprocessing depending on the image content are proposed in this paper. The first one is used for the noise removal. These are noises in the scanned documents, which usually represent some small irregularities of the white paper. For this operation, the locally adaptive ISB: ISS:
2 0th WSEAS Int. Conf. on MATHEMATICAL METHODS AD COMPUTATIOAL TECHIQUES I ELECTRICAL EGIEERIG (MMACTEE'08), Sofia, Bulgaria, May -4, 008 filtration [4], which efficiently removes the additive Gaussian noise, is most suitable. The tets (graphics) in the image are not affected because their basic characteristics (dimensions, area, shape, contrast, etc.) are quite different from these of the noise. The performance of the locally adaptive digital Wiener filter, modified for this application is presented below: y(i, j) σ (i, j) v µ (i, j) + [ (i, j) µ (i, j)] σ (i, j) () if σ (i, j) v ; µ (i, j), if σ (i, j) < v, where, (i,j) and y(i,j) are the piels of the original and the filtered image, respectively. Here µ and (i, j) ( +)( σ (i,j) [ ( + )( + ) v +) m n n m (i + m, j + n) (i+ n,j+ m)] µ (i,j) () (3) M M σ (i, j). (4) M M i j In these relations, µ and represent (i,j) σ (i,j) respectively the mean value and the variance of the piel (i,j) in a local window of size ( + ) ( + ) ;, are positive integer numbers; M, M represent the size of the image matri and ν is the noise variance. The second step of the filtration is aimed at the uneven background illumination correction. This processing is also used, when old documents are transferred to electronic form and their background compression requires special attention. In this case such operation is necessary because in result the net step (the tet detection and segmentation) is simplified. The method for background processing offered here, is based on the use of D nonlinear digital filter [5] modified for this application. The filter performance is presented with the equation: z (i, j) (i, j) MS {(i, j)} + (5) B µ Here MS B {(i,j)} is a morphological smoothing filter, defined with the equation: MS B {(i, j)} min(ma(ma(min([i - m, j- n])))) for {m,n} [ B], (6) where the term [В] is a rectangular structuring element represented by a matri of size (, whose elements are equal to + ) ( + ) zero. This matri is used to set a symmetrical window around the processed piel (i,j) and after that is defined by the piel with minimum or maimum brightness value. This value is used to substitute the value of (i,j) in the consecutive stages of the filtration, performed recursively. The parameters, of the morphological smoothing filter are defined in accordance with the parameters of the processed background (size of the objects, etc.). The described filtration usually causes some specific distortions at the image edges. In order to avoid this, the image matri should be artificially made larger [] adding piels in both directions (horizontal and vertical). As a result, the original matri of size M M becomes of size ( M + ) (M + ). The easiest way is to add zeros in both directions, but the results obtained usually contain distortions, called zero-padding artifacts. In order to avoid this, in the method implementation was used image replication [5] of size equal to that of the filter window side. 3 Image segmentation based on the modified triangle algorithm The image segmentation is done on the basis of the image histogram analysis. The histograms of the images filtered in accordance with the presented algorithms, usually have only one maimum, which corresponds to the image background and the algorithms based on recursive merging operations [3] are not suitable. For this reason, the tet segmentation is based on the so-called triangle algorithm [5], modified for this application. The segmentation threshold is determined by the following operations.. Calculation of the image histogram: H() for 0,,..,Q-, where Q is the number of grey levels;. In the image histogram H(), are defined 3 points: First point (H 0, 0 ) the maimum of the histogram, which is usually the mean value of the corrected background; Two points (H, ) and (H, ), which are defined by the relations: ISB: ISS:
3 0th WSEAS Int. Conf. on MATHEMATICAL METHODS AD COMPUTATIOAL TECHIQUES I ELECTRICAL EGIEERIG (MMACTEE'08), Sofia, Bulgaria, May -4, 008 H () H ( ) ψh 0 ( 0 ), H ( ) < H 0 ( 0 ) > H ( ) (7) for < 0 <. The value of the parameter ψ is usually set to be ψ 0.; 3. The equations of two straight lines are defined, which join the two pairs of points, (H, ), (H 0, 0 ) and (H, ), (H 0, 0 ), respectively. These equations are defined by the well-known relation: A + BH + C 0, (8) where for the first line: 0, A H - H 0, B 0 -, (9) CH 0 -H 0 ; And for the second one: 0, A H - H 0, B 0 -, (0) CH 0 -H The distance to the first and second line respectively is calculated for each point of the histogram (H, ), using the relation: A + BH + C D (), () A + B where А, B, and C are defined by the equation of the corresponding straight line. 5. The value θ of the variable is defined, for which the distance D(θ) ma. This value is the calculated segmentation threshold, for which from Eq. is obtained: H - H 0 H (θ +) - H(θ) () 0 - for the range 0, and correspondingly: H - H 0 H (θ +) - H(θ ) (3) - 0 for the range 0. Here θ and θ are the image segmentation thresholds, used to separate respectively the dark tet and the light parts in the image. 6. The image is then binarized in accordance with the relations:, p(i, j) 0, and if (i, j) if (i, j) θ ; (4) > θ,, if (i, j) θ ; p (i, j) (5) 0, if (i, j) < θ, The binary image p (i,j) contains the detected and separated dark signs in the image (in this case, tets and graphics), and p (i,j) the light ones. The image obtained is saved and used for further processing. In case, that the image background is not white paper, but some kind of a picture (such images are usually obtained when archive documents are processed), the image processing in accordance with the algorithm, developed by the research team, continues with the following operations: 7. The binary image p (i,j), which contains the tet only, is used as a mask and each piel from the original image, which corresponds to mask s dark parts, is substituted by a preset gray level (usually, the most frequent value, defined by the image histogram). 8. The obtained image is then processed with lossy compression and the compressed image is saved. 9. The etracted tet/graphic image is compressed with lossless compression and the obtained compressed image is saved. 0. To recover the image, the two images are processed together so that to compose the original one. The detailed presentation of operations 7-0 is not an object of this paper. For the compression is used a special format, developed by the research team. 4 Eperimental results The presented algorithms for filtration and segmentation of scanned documents were implemented in special software, DefView (Visual C, Microsoft environment), developed by the research team. For the eperiments were used different kinds of scanned images: printed documents, old documents, etc. The preprocessing was done with the two consecutive filtrations, or with only one of them. Some of the test images and the obtained results are shown below. In Fig. is presented one of the test images an enlarged part of scanned printed document. The image is of size 0 4 piels, grayscale (8bpp). In the image are easily seen many dark points, which usually eist in the scanned documents and as a rule, represent some small paper irregularities. These points are not seen when the image is in real size, but their presence affects significantly the ISB: ISS:

Together with this, the image quality is very important as well. In order to achieve maimum quality, the eample test image had been compressed losslessly with software based on the JPEG000 standard (LuraTech Algovision and with the special software for lossless compression developed by the research team (TKView) [6,7]. The scanned document was processed with the locally-adaptive digital filter (Fig.). The filter parameters were: brightness threshold 65 and window width 5. shown in Fig. 5. This image was compressed, but the compression ratio is smaller than that of TKView. Fig.3. The image from Fig. after lossy compression with JPEG-000 based software.

The processing was performed with the special software DefView, developed by the researched team. The result of the noise filtration is shown in Fig. 7 and the final result in Fig. 8. In result were obtained two pictures the one on Fig. 8, which contains the etracted tet and the second, with the image background on Fig. 9. The two parts of the original image were processed individually the part with the tet with lossless, and the background with lossy compression. ISB: ISS:

The compression is lossless and the image Peak Signal to oise Ratio (PSR) is infinity. The background image was compressed with lossy compression and the image PSR is 8,4 db. The restored image is shown in Fig. 0. The relatively low quality of the image background is not noticeable, because the image structure is suitable for this, but the tet quality is not changed. The high CR for the etracted tet image is a result of the algorithm for lossless data compression, developed by the research team. For comparison, the same image was compressed with JPEG000-based software (Lura Tech Algovision). The results obtained are presented in TABLE 4 below.

The compressed image size is more than 40 KB and the quality of the whole image is 8,57 db, while the presented in this paper new method ensures lossless compression for the tet in the image and the compressed file size is smaller.

6 0th WSEAS Int. Conf. on MATHEMATICAL METHODS AD COMPUTATIOAL TECHIQUES I ELECTRICAL EGIEERIG (MMACTEE'08), Sofia, Bulgaria, May -4, Conclusion The software implementation of the new approach for preprocessing of scanned documents, presented in this paper, proved the method efficiency. The ability to perform adaptive segmentation and to compress the tet and the background in the most suitable way ensures efficient compression of the processed documents. The two kinds of compression, used for this (lossless and lossy) were developed by the research team and were used for the creation of new image format. The main advantages of the method are: The method offers adaptive preprocessing of the main objects in the scanned documents images the tet and the background; The presented method for image preprocessing ensures higher compression for the most popular compression algorithms (the eperiments were performed with JPEG and JPEG 000) in result of the preprocessing the CR was increased; The presented method for image preprocessing offers better results for the image compression, based on the IDP decomposition, because it suits very well the statistics of the compressed image data; The creation of two different pictures in the process of image processing is not noticeable for the user the final result is one compressed file only. This problem is solved by the software implementation of the presented method; Compared with the most powerful method for still image compression the JPEG 000 standard the new method for preprocessing of scanned documents, followed by the special compression developed by the research team, offers higher compression together with unchanged quality for the tet in the image and visually retained quality for the image background. The future development of the method will continue with a research based on the use of the adaptive IDP decomposition together with lossless data compression and aimed at the processing of color images. In this case the IDP decomposition will permit the brightness processing and the image segmentation to be done first, while the color information will be processed independently. The epected results are higher compression ratio and image quality. The future application areas for the new method are: The creation of the special method for archiving of scanned documents, based on the new image format will be aimed at its application in digital libraries, presentations of training courses, distance learning, etc.; Efficient processing of color and multispectral images of any kind aimed at the efficient archiving of image databases. The method for image filtration and segmentation could be used for contours etraction of sign language interpreter and as a result - for the preparation of special lectures for distance learning courses aimed at deaf or hearing-impaired students the research team already had already obtained very good results in this area.
