Abstract

In this paper, an efficient method for hand-torn document reconstruction is proposed. The proposed method comprises three major stages, which are preprocessing, feature extraction, and matching respectively. The preprocessing stage starts with extracting the green-channel of the input fragment, and morphological opening and binarization is performed, followed by contour extraction and simplification. A number of features, such as vertex angle, line distance and orientation are extracted in the feature extraction stage. Afterwards, the method searches for the best matching between two fragments, correct the rotation angle, and join those fragments, and this procedure is performed iteratively until the whole document is reconstructed. A simple but effective procedure is proposed to measure the performance of the proposed reconstruction method. Two criteria, namely True Positive Rate (TPR) and False Negative Rate (FNR) have been used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves 0.9777 and 0.0223 average values in terms of TPR and FNR respectively.
