Abstract

The filtering of binary images containing graphic and text information possesses typical peculiarities and uses heuristic processing procedures. At the same time the application of grey level methods for processing of digital images gives a lot of advantages. It is introduced an approach for the processing of binary images that is based on the adaptation of algorithms for grey level images like boundary detection, contour tracing, and line tinning. It is made the comparison of methods for binary filtering and corresponding procedures for grey level enhancement. A method for conversion the high resolution binary images to grey level images is proposed which combines the format conversion and the subsequent digital filtering. The suggested approach and procedures are suitable for implementation in the software packages for digital processing of graphic and text images. The comparison of methods based on processing of images in binary and grey level modes shows the increasing of reliability and accuracy of the information that is extracted from multi-level images.
