| Abstract |
|
This paper describes a system for efficient storage and network transmission of images of historical documents.
The images are segmented into two classes (paper and ink)
with the use of an entropy-based segmentation algorithm. The information is then re-assembled, synthetising an
image visually close to the original document. The
synthesis process works in both classes, using information acquired in the segmentation phase. All the information
needed to re-build the final synthetic image occupies, in
average, 2 Kbytes performing a very efficient compression scheme.
