Abstract
In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for binarizing an image. The method comprises establishing boundaries of image objects of the image and classifying each image object as either suspect or non-suspect. The method further comprises creating a local binarization threshold map comprising threshold binarization values associated with image objects classified as non-suspect and then expanding the local binarization threshold map to cover the entire image thereby to create a global binarization threshold map for the entire image.
