In this paper we tackle the specific problem of handwritten underline removal. The presence of these underlines is very frequent even in rare books and its removal a desired goal of the National Libraries in their process of building digital libraries. Two different techniques are applied and compared. One is based on mathematical morphology and the other on a recent published technique for line detection. Both were applied to books of XVI Century and the results evaluated. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
