Abstract: This paper presents a hybrid approach for binarization as well as a review on Binarization of images. Binarization is a process by which an image is converted into bits. It is an important step in most document image analysis systems. An image is a set of pixels. Most of the binarization techniques associate a certain intensity value for each and every pixel. A gray image or gray-scale image is just an image which has each pixel of same intensity. That means there is not much difference in color or value information of pixels. Usually, in common terms, a picture in black and white is considered as gray image in which black has least intensity and white have highest.

Keywords: Binarization, Images, Segmentation, Restoration, etc
