Do a threshold (otsu), count the white and black pixels, this will tell you if you have white text on dark background or the opposite.
If necessary, negate the image so to have a dark text on bright background.
The images are very small, you want al least 35/50px. Try to have them larger if possible otherwise upscale might help. Sharpening or other steps might help before the threshold.

Hi, I would love to know which type of custom preprocessing these images would go through in order to be the best to successfully read them. Note that the filter/preprocess needs to be generic which means to work across all four images.--Thanks.

I tried doing the threshold method but it screws up the ice.png text.
