Abstract : This paper presents an effi cient parametrization method for generating synthetic noise on document images. By specifying the desired categories and amount of noise, the method is able to generate synthetic document images with most of degradations observed in real document images (ink splotches, white specks or streaks). Thanks to the ability of simulating di fferent amount and kind of noise, it is possible to evaluate the robustness of many document image analysis methods. It also permits to generate data for algorithms that employ a learning process. The degradation model presented in [7] needs eight parameters for generating randomly noise regions. We propose here an extension of this model which aims to set automatically the eight parameters to generate precisely what a user wants (amount and category of noise). Our proposition consists of three steps. First, Nsp seed-points (i.e. centres of noise regions) are selected by an adaptive procedure. Then, these seed-points are classfi ed into three categories of noise by using a heuristic rule. Finally, each size of noise region is set using a random process in order to generate degradations as realistic as possible
