I am interesting in smoothing a binary image file with characters.
I have used a local averaging scheme:
if
v[i][j]+v[i][j-1]+v[i][j+1]+v[i-1][j]+v[i-1][j-1]+v[i-1][j+1]+v[i+1][j]+
v[i+1][j-1]+v[i+1][j+1] > 4
then v[i][j] = 1
else v[i][j] = 0.

But it did not work well.
Could you let me know other smoothing schemes?

Thank you verymuch.
