Enhancement of old manuscripts using fuzzy logic

Abstract

Old manuscripts are very important which contain important information about a person, place, or event. Image processing is very vast field and one of the most important part of image processing is thresholding. . The old historical images are of great importance for preserving our history, culture or valuable happening. With the passage of time these old manuscript’s writing become unreadable. Old images get damaged due to poor paper quality , ink expand ,presence of noise, background damage due to varying contrast and due to storage condition and other element disruption. The process of improving degraded images is difficult task due to foreground and background variation. Hence customized technique would be required to enhance the old manuscripts. We present some method to enhance the old images and other manuscripts with damaged background . In proposed work may fuzzy logic to enhance the image. The key idea of our framework is to detect the damaged region from the image and applying methods to enhance that region. Experimental results show the significant improvement in old manuscripts with different writing styles, and affected by other uncontrollable factors such as ink expand and noise . In the proposed work we use the camera grabbed or scanned images as an input. Adopted method does not require any data about the font.
