Degraded Documents

Even though several studies exist on denoising degraded documents, now a days it is a tedious task in the field of document image processing because ancient document may contain several degradations which will be a barrier for reader. Here we use old Malayalam Grantha scripts that contain useful information like the poem titled ‘Njana Stuthi’ and ancient literature. These historical documents are losing content due to heavy degradations such as, ink bleed, fungi-found to be brittleness & show through. In order to remove these kind of degradations, the study is proposing a novel binarization algorithm which remove noises from Grantha scripts as well as notebook images and make the document readable. Here we use 500 datasets of Grantha scripts for experimentation. In our proposed method, binarization is done through a channel based method in which we are converting image in to RGB, further adding weights to make the image darker or brighter followed by morphological operation open and finally passing it RGB and HSV channel for more clarity and clear separation of black text and white background, remaining noise will be removed using adaptive thresholding technique. The proposed method is outperformed with good accuracy.

Image Improvement

As the development of research technology on Digital Image Processing continues to grow. Likewise, the improvement of the quality of sharpness / subtlety of the Gorga Batak images is an important thing to improve. This is one of the ways to preserve the Batak tribe area so that Gorga-gorga are still remembered and more interpreted. The cause of the need to be improved is the image of Gorga Batak is caused by several factors that cause the image to be less beautiful if it is interpreted by human beings such as the shape has been blurred (dark) due to shooting / shooting, has noise black spots on the image (noise), and the color is dull out of date. As an effort to improve image, the segmentation process is carried out by doing edge detection on the image, then the Morphological Operation Method will be implemented as one of the methods in Digital Image Processing that implements image quality improvement based on the shape and structure of the image. In this image processing, the Dilation Operation Technique and Operation Technique will be carried out. In Operation Dilation Techniques works by adding several segments (pixels) in the image so as to increase the integrity / sharpness of the structure of the image. While the Erosion Operation Technique will reduce / refine unnecessary parts / segments of the image so that the resulting image looks smoother, so that it can be more interpreted by humans and can be reused both as documentation of regional culture and so on. Using this method is expected to be able to improve and improve the quality / sharpness of Citra Gorga Batak. To facilitate the operation of the program design tools will be used, namely Matlab.Keywords: Image Improvement, Gorga Batak, Morphological Operation Method

AbstrakSejak pertama kali komputer ditemukan, keyboard selalu menjadi alat utama yang menjadi penghubung interaksi antara manusia dan komputer. Saat ini banyak komputer yang menerapkan teknologi pengolahan citra untuk menjadikannya perantara interaksi antara komputer dan manusia.Dalam penelitian ini, penulis mencoba untuk menerapkan teknologi pengolahan citra yang digunakan untuk keyboard virtual pada aplikasi web. Digunakan webcam untuk menangkap citra ujung jari telunjuk. Hasil capture citra akan dikirimkan ke server localhost untuk diproses dengan image processing. Untuk mendeteksi ujung jari telunjuk, digunakan metode Haar Cascade Classifier. Proses pendeteksian tersebut menghasilkan koordinat yang akan dikirimkan ke aplikasi web yang selanjutnya dijadikan acuan untuk menentukan posisi tombol pada keyboard virtual. Sehingga keyboard virtual akan menampilan karakter sesuai dengan yang ditunjuk oleh ujung jari telunjuk.Dari hasil pengujian yang dilakukan, jarak optimal ujung jari telunjuk dengan webcam adalah 20 – 35 cm. Derajat kemiringan ujung jari telunjuk untuk dapat terdeteksi antara 0° – 10°. Sistem mampu mengenali ujung jari telunjuk pada ruangan berlatar belakang putih polos dan terdapat sedikit perabot. Waktu respon untuk menampilkan karakter keyboard virtual rata-rata 5,156 detik. Sehingga keyboard virtual pada sistem ini belum mampu dijadikan antarmuka pada aplikasi web, dikarenakan masih sulit digunakan dalam mengarahkan ujung jari telunjuk ke tombol karakter yang diinginkan.Kata kunci—aplikasi web, Haar Cascade Classifier, keyboard virtual, pengolahan citra  AbstractSince the first computer was founded, keyboard is always been a primary tool for interaction between humans and computers.

Mangrove forests have high ecological, economic and social values ??which function to maintain shoreline stability, protect beaches and riverbanks, filter and remediate waste, and to withstand floods and waves. The facts show that mangrove damage is everywhere, even the intensity of damage and its area tends to increase significantly. Many roles of mangroves require proper management to maintain the existence of mangroves. One way to determine the area of ??mangroves is by processing Landsat 8 satellite imagery. The stages of mangrove identification are carried out by using 564 RGB band merger, then separating the mangrove and non-mangrove objects. Next step is to analyze the density of mangroves using NDVI formula. To maximize monitoring of mangrove area, an android application was created that provides information on the area and density of mangroves at several locations, namely Clungup, Bangsong Teluk Asmara and Cengkrong from 2015 to 2018.The results showed that Landsat 8 satellite imagery can be used to identify changes in the area of ??mangrove forests with good accuracy, namely in the Clungup area of ??90% and Cengkrong of 86.67%. From processing results, the mangrove area in the Clungup area has also decreased from 2015 to 2017 but has increased in 2018 so that the application provides recommendations for embroidering mangroves in 2016 to 2017 and mangrove recommendations are maintained in 2018. As for Bangsong Teluk area Asmara and Cengkrong have increased the area of ??mangroves every year so that the application provides recommendations to be maintained from 2016 to 2018.

Degraded Documents

Advances in digital technologies have allowed us to generate more images than ever. Images of scanned documents are examples of these images that form a vital part in digital libraries and archives. Scanned degraded documents contain background noise and varying contrast and illumination, therefore, document image binarisation must be performed in order to separate foreground from background layers. Image binarisation is performed using either local adaptive thresholding or global thresholding; with local thresholding being generally considered as more successful. This paper presents a novel method to global thresholding, where a neural network is trained using local threshold values of an image in order to determine an optimum global threshold value which is used to binarise the whole image. The proposed method is compared with five local thresholding methods, and the experimental results indicate that our method is computationally cost-effective and capable of binarising scanned degraded documents with superior results.

Complete Procedure

Image denoising plays an important role in image processing.  It is also part of the pre-processing technique in a binarization complete procedure that consists of pre-processing, thresholding, and post-processing.  Our previous research has confirmed that the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)-based filtering as the new pre-processing process improved the performance of binarization output in terms of recall and precision. This research compares three classical denoising methods; Gaussian, mean, and median filtering with the DCT-based filtering. The noisy ancient document images are filtered using those classical filtering methods. The outputs of this process are used as the input for Otsu, Niblack, Sauvola and NICK binarization methods. Then the resulted binary images of the three classical methods are compared with those of DCT-based filtering. The performance of all denoising algorithms is evaluated by calculating recall and precision of the resulted binary images.  The result of this research is that the DCT based filtering resulted in the highest recall and precision as compared to the other methods.
