The Physics of
Dirty Data.

When you scan a physical document, you aren't just capturing text; you're capturing the physics of paper. Ambient light and texture create "muddy" noise that breaks OCR recognition. DoxBar follows Otsu's Principle to mathematically separate noise from content.

Dual Binarization Engines.

Choose the mathematical model that best matches your document physics, aligned with W3C accessibility standards.

Otsu Thresholding

Calculates optimal binarization by minimizing intra-class variance. Perfect for evenly lit professional scans. Referenced in Nobuyuki Otsu's Method.

Global Binarization

Adaptive Gaussian

Calculates thresholds for small neighborhoods of pixels. This allows the engine to 'see' through shadows and folds. Referenced in OpenCV Principles.

Local Preservation

Binarization Journey.

Channel Isolation

Our WASM engine isolates color channels to target yellowing and light gray noise specifically.

Cluster Analysis

Applying NIST-standard contrast normalization to define pixel boundaries.

Vector Hardening

Soft edges are hardened into clean black pixels, maximizing readability for Library of Congress digital archival.

Local Disposal

Sensitive documents should never leave your RAM. DoxBar reversal cleaning occurs entirely client-side, compliant with EU GDPR.

Archival Restoration
The Ultimate FAQ.

Will this affect photographic image quality?

Thresholding is a mathematical binarization process. While it is regenerative for text and structure, it ignores color gradients. For photographic archival, we recommend our Grayscale engine which preserves bit-depth density.

Can I target specific pages for cleaning?

Yes. Our WASM selector allows per-page isolation. You can clean page 5 while leaving page 6 in its original 24-bit color state, preserving the integrity of the overall document structure.

Otsu vs Adaptive: Which setting should I choose?

Use Otsu for flat scanner-bed scans with consistent lighting. Switch to Adaptive Gaussian for smartphone photos or book captures where lightning varies across the page surface.

What is the maximum file size for restoration?

DoxBar handles up to 100MB per document following W3C WASM memory limits. This ensures high-speed, local processing without performance degradation.
