Contribution
It introduces a new benchmark for binarization of Persian heritage images and compares three algorithms using standardized evaluation measures.
Findings
Algorithm performances vary significantly on Persian heritage images.
The competition establishes a baseline for future research in this area.
Evaluation metrics effectively differentiate algorithm effectiveness.
Abstract
The first competition on the binarization of historical Persian documents and manuscripts (PHIBC 2012) has been organized in conjunction with the first Iranian conference on pattern recognition and image analysis (PRIA 2013). The main objective of PHIBC 2012 is to evaluate performance of the binarization methodologies, when applied on the Persian heritage images. This paper provides a report on the methodology and performance of the three submitted algorithms based on evaluation measures has been used.
