Since such methods utilize binary images, applying appropriate image preprocessing and thresholding methods significantly influences the obtained results, particularly in uncontrolled illumination conditions. Therefore, the examination of various adaptive image binarization algorithms for this purpose is conducted in this paper, together with the experimental verification of the proposed method based on the pixel voting approach.}, article-number = {2449}, doi = {10.3390/electronics12112449}, url = {https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/12/11/2449}, } @Comment{jabref-meta: databaseType:bibtex;}
