Analysis Tools for Gray Level Histograms
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper summarizes three algorithms used for the analysis of gray level histograms. Two of them are easily developed from standard techniques and the other is a completely new method. We will study the advantages of each and give examples of real-world use. Gray level histogram analysis (mainly threshold computation) is a known technique that allows easy and fast segmentation of the regions of interest in an image [1]. Many methods have been proposed for this problem [2], but almost all of them focus only on the problem of bimodal histograms. We will deal with multimodal histograms and, besides, we improve the time efficiency of the most widely used method (Otsu’s [3]). Finally, we investigate the potentials of these techniques for scalar quantifiers design (because Otsu method is a clustering technique).

Texture discrimination with multidimensional distributions of signed gray-level differences
The statistics of gray level differences have been successfully used in a number of texture analysis studies. In this paper we propose to use signed gray level differences and their multidimensional distributions for texture description. The present approach has important advantages compared to earlier related approaches based on gray level cooccurrence matrices or histograms of absolute gray l...
متن کاملGray level cooccurrence histograms via learning vector quantization
In this paper, we propose to use learning vector quantization for the efficient partitioning of a cooccurrence space. A simple codebook is trained to map the multidimensional cooccurrence space into a 1-dimensional cooccurrence histogram. In the classification phase a nonparametric log-likelihood statistic is employed for comparing sample and prototype histograms. The advantages of vector quant...
متن کاملModified Dynamic Histogram Equalization For Image Enhancement in Gray-scale Images
To improve the quality of digital images captured in low light environment from consumer electronics devices like cell phone cameras, Modified Dynamic Histogram Equalization (MDHE) is proposed. Initially, the proposed method divides the histogram into two sub-histograms based on median. Then 2 subhistogram is further divided into two sub-histograms based on median of it. The resultant sub-histo...
متن کاملA new image thresholding method based on Gaussian mixture model
Abstract: In this paper, an efficient approach to search for the global threshold of image using Gaussian mixture model is proposed. Firstly, a gray-level histogram of an image is represented as a function of the frequencies of gray-level. Then,to fit the Gaussian mixtures to the histogram of image, the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is developed to estimate the number of Gaussian mixt...
