Hi..
Can anyone suggest an approach or method for the separation of overlapping and touching lines within handwritten documents
I can segment text lines. Now i want to separate the connected lines Here is my image link

Did you use the activecontour function for this segmentation? If so, what method did you use 'Chan-Vese' or 'edge'? Also, did you try fiddling with the smoothness parameter? Try reducing the smoothness parameter. That might give you a closer segmentation.

Try a morphological closing with imclose().

Why? Why does it have to be automatic, rather than quick and effective? Do you want to get the job done , or do you want to spend weeks researching it (more time than you'd save with an automatic solution)? Unless you have thousands of images (which I doubt), I'd just get it done.
