I'm on Windows and wrote this R wrapper at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/image.binarization/index.html. |
Thank you so much, @jwijffels I sheepishly admit -- I actually downloaded image.binarization yesterday to see if I could figure it out...and I couldn't. :( I have a feeling that at least in part it has to do with "the package requires a compiler with C++17 capabilities." I don't even know if I have this, much less how to do it. (Ha.) For what it's worth, I understand a very little of Python, use Visual Studio Code, and my goal is for image results more than programming. (I'm here because I'm looking for an optimal binarization method for separating sometimes faded glyphs from backgrounds (with multivariate tones from aging and the like) on a historical manuscript. I came across Doxa and image.binarization searching for "improved Sauvola" in Google.) |
You just need to install R (at least version >4) at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/ Then in R install the package as follows:
And run the code where you replace scan.jpg with the path to your image.

Very kind of you to walk me through this. Success! I have it working in R now on Windows. Very much appreciated. |
Good to know it worked - I'm using the R wrapper for image cleaning in order to find text lines in scans of 18th-19th century documents https://github.com/DIGI-VUB/image.textlinedetector as well as some preprocessing in Handwritten text recognition at https://github.com/DIGI-VUB/HTR-tests. |
Has anyone had success using this on Windows?
If so, would you be willing to give simple instructions to a total beginner about how to get it up and running?
Any guidance would be much appreciated!
