Since this is an OCRopus experiment you will of cause need a working installation of OCRopus https://github.com/tmbdev/ocropy
Most of the binarization are done using the command line interface of ScanTailor http://scantailor.org/ On Debian and Ubuntu ScanTailor can be installed from the package archive with
sudo apt-get install scantailor
For the experiment I have used version 0.9.11.1 of ScanTailor.
During the experiment different binarization will be created. You can run the entire experiment with
./run.sh
