Unimodal thresholding
نویسنده
چکیده
Most thresholding algorithms have difficulties processing images with unimodal distributions. In this paper an algorithm, based on finding a corner in the histogram plot, is proposed that is capable of performing bilevel thresholding of such images. Its effectiveness is demonstrated on synthetic data as well as a variety of real data, showing its successful application to edges, corners, difference images, optic flow, texture difference images, polygonal approximation of curves, and image segmentation. keywords: thresholding, histogram, maximum deviation, unimodal distribution

A robust thresholding algorithm for unimodal image histograms
This article introduces a method to determine the threshold of unimodal image histograms in a robust manner. It is based on a piecewise linear regression that finds the two segments that fit the descending slope of the histogram. The algorithm gives a good estimation of the threshold, and is practically insensitive to the noise distribution, to the quantity of objects to segment, and to random ...
متن کاملEfficient Euler-Number Thresholding
Euler thresholding is a non-parametric dynamic thresholding method, useful for many computer vision tasks. It requires the calculation of a graph relating thresholds to Euler numbers and performing a Rosin unimodal threshold calculation on the graph. This report details how this can be done in time complexity O(N + T ) where N is the number of pixels in the image and T is the number of threshol...
متن کاملAn Improved Image Segmentation Algorithm Based on MET Method
Image segmentation is a basic component of many computer vision systems and pattern recognition. Thresholding is a simple but effective method to separate objects from the background. A commonly used method, Kittler and Illingworth's minimum error thresholding (MET), improves the image segmentation effect obviously. It’s simpler and easier to implement. However, it fails in the presence of skew...

Figure 1: Thresholding function for σ = 1 For d ≥ 2, the roots of 2θ2−2θd+σ2 are: 1/2d+1/2√d2 − 2σ2 and 1/2d−1/2√d2 − 2σ2. The function p(θ|d) has limit ∞ around 0. So the modes of the function p(θ|d) can be summarized as follows: Unimodal with mode 0, if d < 2; bimodal with 0 being the first mode and 1/2d + 1/2 √ d2 − 2σ2 or 1/2d − 1/2√d2 − 2σ2 being the second mode (pick the one resulting in ...
متن کاملAn imaging approach for the automatic thresholding of photo defects
Automatic thresholding of photo defects means to accurately locate defect objects. The available approaches for automatic thresholding determine the optimal threshold values and segment the image into objects based on their gray level distribution. For defect object identification in images with multimodal distributions, these techniques also require knowledge of the defect object features, suc...
