Document Image Segmentation

Document image segmentation is an important research area of document image analysis which classifies the contents of a document image into a set of text and non-text classes. Previous existing methods are often designed to classify text and halftone therefore they perform poorly in classifying graphics, tables and circuit, etc. In this paper, we present a robust multi-level classification method using multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and support vector machine (SVM) to segment the texts from non-texts and thereafter classify them as tables, graphics and halftones. This method outperforms previously existing methods by overcoming various issues associated with the complexity of document images. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of our proposed method. By virtue of our multi-level classification approach, the text components, halftone components, graphic components and table components are accurately classified respectively which would highly improve OCR accuracy to reduce garbage symbols as well as increase compression ratio thereafter simultaneously.
