Abstract
Screen pattern used in offset-printed documents has been one of great obstacles in developing document recognition systems that handle color documents. This paper proposes a selective smoothing method for filtering the screen patterns/noise in high-resolution color document images. Experimental results show that the method yields significant improvements in character pattern extraction.
