A semantic segmentation model for pixel-wise document image binarization.
- fine-tune Segformer on 1024
$\times$ 1024 images; - set
reduce_labels=Truein Segformer processor to ignore the background; - compare valid DIBCO metrics with SauvolaNet's paper.
Segformer is an efficient semantic segmentation model introduced by Xie et al. in 2021.
In this repository, we will provide a fine-tuning of Segformer for pixel-wise document image binarization.
The dataset is an ensemble of 14 datasets replicating the setting used in SauvolaNet by Li et al. in 2021.
