This enables us to edit and search documents very easily. Document preprocessing of a document image is a very important stage prior to OCR. This thesis presents new line segmentation, image enhancement, and character reconstruction algorithms to improve document preprocessing. Consequently, we can get better results from the OCR system ER -
