Transforming a paper document to its electronic version in a form suitable for efficient
storage, retrieval, and interpretation continues to be a challenging problem. An efficient …

In this article, we propose a method of characterization of images of old documents based
on a texture approach. This characterization is carried out with the help of a multi-resolution …

In this paper we present a top-down, projection-profile based algorithm to separate text
blocks from image blocks in a Devanagari document. We use a distinctive feature of …
