Abstract
Given a low-resolution binary document image, we aim to improve its perceptual quality for enhanced readability. We have proposed a simple, deep learning based model, that uses convolution with transposed convolution and sub-pixel layers in the best possible way to construct the high-resolution image. The proposed architecture scales across the three different scripts tested, namely Tamil, Kannada and Roman. To show that the reconstructed output has enhanced readability, we have used the objective criterion of optical character recognizer (OCR) character level accuracy. The reported results by our CTCS architecture shows significant improvement in terms of the subjective criterion of human readability and objective criterion of OCR character level accuracy. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
