Abstract

Image resizing is an important operation that is used extensively in document processing to magnify or reduce images. Standard approaches fit the original data with a continuous model and then resample this 2D function on a few sampling grid. These interpolation methods, however, apply an interpolation function indiscriminately to the whole image. The resulting document image suffers from objectionable moire patterns, edge blurring and aliasing. Therefore, image documents must often be segmented before other document processing techniques, such as filtering, resizing, and compression can be applied. In this paper, we present a new system to segment and label document images into text, halftone images, and background using feature extraction and unsupervised clustering. Once the segmentation is performed, a specific enhancement or interpolation kernel can be applied to each document component. In this paper, we demonstrate the power of our approach to segment document images into text, halftone, and background. The proposed filtering and interpolation method results in a noticeable improvement in the enhanced and resized image.
