Description: In this paper, an image binarization method for separating text from the background of degraded textual images is proposed. This proposed methods are based on combination of Window Tracking Method (WTM) and Dynamic Image Histogram (DIH). The WTM and DIH methods work on an image that has been pre-processed. The WTM method searches for the largest pixel value in a 3 × 3 window up to a maximum of five tracking steps, while the method searches for a definite frequency between the two highest values in the image histogram. We test proposed method on DIBCO dataset and self-collection faded manuscripts. The experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms state of the art methods.
