We describe a binarisation method designed specifically for OCR of low quality camera images: background surface thresholding or BST. This method is robust to lighting variations and produces images with very little noise and consistent stroke width. BST computes a "surface" of background intensities at every point in the image and performs adaptive thresholding based on this result. The surface is estimated by identifying regions of low-resolution text and interpolating neighbouring background intensities into these regions. The final threshold is a combination of this surface and a global offset. According to our evaluation BST produces considerably fewer OCR errors than Niblack's local average method while also being more runtime efficient.
