Abstract

As a very valuable cultural heritage, palm leaf manuscripts offer a new challenge in document analysis system due to the specific characteristics on physical support of the manuscript. With the aim of finding an optimal binarization method for palm leaf manuscript images, creating a new ground truth binarized image is a necessary step in document analysis of palm leaf manuscript. But, regarding to the human intervention in ground truthing process, an important remark about the subjectivity effect on the construction of ground truth binarized image has been analysed and reported. In this paper, we present an experiment in a real condition to analyse the existance of human subjectivity on the construction of ground truth binarized image of palm leaf manuscript images and to measure quantitatively the ground truth variability with several binarization evaluation metrics.
