Abstract: The ICDAR 2021 Time-Quality Binarization Competition assessed the performance of 12 new and 49 other previously published binarization algorithms for scanned document images. Four test sets of “real-world” documents with different features were used. For each test set, the top twenty algorithms in the quality of the resulting two-tone images had their average processing time presented, yielding an account of their time complexity.
