ABSTRACT: Manuscript preprocessing
is the earliest stage in transliteration process of manuscripts in Javanese
scripts. Manuscript preprocessing stage is aimed to produce images of letters
which form the manuscripts to be processed further in manuscript
transliteration system. There are four main steps in manuscript preprocessing,
which are manuscript binarization, noise reduction, line segmentation, and
character segmentation for every line image produced by line segmentation. The
result of the test on parts of PB.A57 manuscript which contains 291 character
images, with 95% level of confidence concluded that the success percentage of
preprocessing in producing Javanese character images ranged 85.9% - 94.82%.
