ABSTRACT
Whenever one finds documents written on both sides on translucent paper there is a "back-to-front interference". The direct binarization of such documents yields unreadable documents. This paper presents a fast segmentation-based method for generating high-quality binarized images of documents with back-to-front interference. The proposed segmentation algorithm is based on the entropy of the histogram of the image.

Enhancing the Quality of Color Documents with Back-to-Front Interference
ICIAR '09: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Image Analysis and RecognitionBack-to-front, show-through, or bleeding are the names given to the overlapping interference whenever a document is written (or printed) on both sides of a translucent paper. Such interference makes more difficult, if not impossible, document ...
HistDoc - a toolbox for processing images of historical documents
ICIAR'10: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Image Analysis and Recognition - Volume Part IIHistDoc is a software tool designed to process images of historical documents. It has two operation modes: standalone mode - one can process one image a time; and batch mode - one can process thousands of documents automatically. This tool automatically ...
A quantitative method for assessing algorithms to remove back-to-front interference in documents

This artifact is called "back-to-front interference", "bleeding" or "show-through". The direct binarization of documents with such interference yields ...
