Abstract

An adaptive bilevel quantizing technique for images containing text and continuous-tone areas in the same page is proposed. At first, the original document image is divided into M*M pixel blocks and whether a block is a continuous-tone area or not is determined by using two features, the density of black pixels in the block and the differential value to neighbors. Then, continuous-tone areas are made binary by using the multistep dither matrix. Finally, the remaining area, which includes text and figures, is quantized to bilevel.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
