For a given property of the connected components in a document, the evolution maps document analysis algorithms, such as binarization and line extraction, provide poor Figure 1 A document image, and the distribution of connected components along their width property (x-axis), for each possible gray scale threshold (y-axis). represents the width CEM for a text document image, where 'hot' colors represent high threshold, and the corresponding components in the document for two ranges of width Figure 5 A document image with its components according to the width evolution map.
