most interresting. At the same time I point in variant of Howe's algorithm to the 'R' of learned which has been degraded but with good chances to still be recognised. I notice that the 'h' in the 'the' before 'sacrif' is lost in all cases and may be translated as 'tlie' unless the OCR resort to a dictionary and grammar which I don't know if any of them do it.

A basic description of different binarization algorithms: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/ ... ide=id.i39. Nothing new, but gives a good overview.

Interested to see that there are methods optimised for uneven illumination, as that seems particularly relevant for processing camera images.

I like the results I'm getting with the binarizewolfjolion program, available from Christian Wolf's website: http://liris.cnrs.fr/christian.wolf/software/binarize/. The latest versions use opencv for image manipulation. I'm not sure if it builds under cygwin; I only run it on my linux machine.
