System and Method for Enhancing the Legibility of Degraded Images
- Technology Benefits
- Fully automated enhancementNo training data requiredLanguage and script independent
- Detailed Technology Description
- Historical documents and images often become degraded over time due to factors such as aging and improper storage. Pictures, handwriting and even typewriter ink may become difficult to distinguish over time. Georgetown University has identified a novel image enhancement technique, which automatically transforms degraded images into legible images. This image enhancement invention analyzes pixel features of an image and can filter for only those pixels needed for document legibility. This invention is an improvement on prior image enhancement systems because it can enhance legibility of images effectively without the need of training data accumulated over time and it is not limited to a specific language or script.
