In this report, we present and compare the results of an improved fractional and integer order partial differential equation (PDE)-based binarization scheme. The improved model incorporates a diffusion term in addition to the edge and binary source terms from the previous formulation. Furthermore, logarithmic local contrast edge normalization and combined isotropic and anisotropic edge detection enables simultaneous bleed-through elimination with faded text restoration for degraded document images. Comparisons of results with state-of-the-art PDE methods show improved and superior results.
