From Segmentation to Binarization of Gray-level Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
For some gray-level images, the boundary between the foreground and the background is perceived in correspondence with the locally maximal changes in gray-level through the image. In this framework, this paper proposes a method to extract the objects of interest from an image and, hence, to distinguish the foreground from the background, starting from a partition of the image obtained by means of watershed transformation. The regions that are assigned to the foreground are also hierarchically ranked, depending on their perceptual relevance, so that different representations of the image are possible.

Implementation of Bernsen’s Locally Adaptive Binarization Method for Gray Scale Images
In digital image processing, binarization (two-level thresholding) is a commonly used technique for image segmentation. It is the process of converting a gray scale image to a binary image. Furthermore, binarization methods are divided into two groups as global binarization and locally adaptive binarization. A number of binarization techniques have been proposed over the years. Bernsen’s method...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Skin Lesion Border Detection in Dermoscopy Images
Background: With advances in medical imaging systems, digital dermoscopy has become one of the major imaging modalities in the analysis of skin lesions. Thus, automated segmentation or border detection has a great impact on the subsequent steps of skin cancer computer-aided diagnosis using demoscopy images. Since dermoscopy images suffer from artifacts such as shading and hair, there is a need ...
متن کاملUsing Irregular Pyramid for Text Segmentation and Binarization of Gray Scale Images
Compared to binary images that most text extraction methods work on, gray scale images provide much more information for the extraction task. On the other hand complication also arises in determining the subject textual content from its background region (ie. thresholding) before the actual text extraction process can begin. Differing from the usual sequence of processes where document images a...
متن کاملA comparative performance of gray level image thresholding using normalized graph cut based standard S membership function
In this research paper, we use a normalized graph cut measure as a thresholding principle to separate an object from the background based on the standard S membership function. The implementation of the proposed algorithm known as fuzzy normalized graph cut method. This proposed algorithm compared with the fuzzy entropy method [25], Kittler [11], Rosin [21], Sauvola [23] and Wolf [33] method. M...

متن کاملBinarization of noisy gray-scale character images by thin line modeling
In this paper, we propose two new methods for the binarization of noisy gray-scale character images obtained in an industrial setting. These methods are different from other conventional binarization methods in that they are specially designed to detect only character-like regions. They exploit the fact that characters are usually composed of thin lines (strokes) of uniform width. We first mode...
