Abstract
A color image processing provides a thin-line enhancement module for a color image for finding and keeping thin lines in the color image. A boundary enhancement module is provided for finding and keeping the boundary in the color image. A de-background module is provided for removing noise pixels from the white background. The color image is processed to avoid missing and/or twisting the thin lines, boundary, background, and texts in the color image after the scanning procedure.
