Hi, I am working on a project to clean up a scanned image of a logbook. I have managed to clean most of the image but am facing a major problem. The problem is to remove the dark lines on which text has been printed without removing the text. In certain cases the text is printed just on top of the line and i have to extract only the text so that it can be easily detected by an OCR software. Please help me out in this issue as it is really urgent

I suggest asking the person for whom you are doing this project for help.
After all, they will be the ones evaluating whether your project succeeded
or not, aren't they? It is also probably easier for them to view your
images and code than it would be for CSSM readers.
