Two Processing Methods
Simpler Method
- Computes difference of two color channels after scaling the image “contrast”
- Need to find scale factor that makes “parchment” and “overwriting” subtract to same gray value
More Sophisticated Calculation
- Find combinations of the three images (R,G,B) that estimate the three classes of object.
- “Parchment”
- “Overwriting”
- “Underwriting”
- Same process used to “classify” images in environmental remote sensing
