摘要
A new method for the enhancement of gray-level images of documents is presented. Using the superposition of a linear and a quadratic operator, noise smoothing is achieved without blurring the details of the picture. Some theoretical noise-cancellation properties of the proposed technique are studied. Experimental results are presented, which allow the reader to compare the performance of our methods with the results obtained through more conventional approaches.
