On minimum variance thresholding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Variance-based thresholding methods could be biased from the threshold found by expert and the underlying mechanism responsible for this bias is explored in this paper. An analysis on the minimum class variance thresholding (MCVT) and the Otsu method, which minimizes the within-class variance, is carried out. It turns out that the bias for the Otsu method is due to differences in class variances or class probabilities and the resulting threshold is biased towards the component with larger class variance or larger class probability. The MCVT method is found to be similar to the minimum error thresholding. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Two-dimensional extension of variance-based thresholding for image segmentation
Variance-based thresholding method is a very effective technology for image segmentation. However, its performance is limited in traditional one-dimensional and twodimensional scheme. In this paper, a novel two-dimensional variance thresholding scheme to improve image segmentation performance is proposed. The two-dimensional histogram of the original and local average image is projected to one-...

Thresholding based on variance analysis of gray levels histogram is a very effective technology for image segmentation. However, its performance is limited in conventional forms. In this paper, a novel method based on two-dimensional extension of within-class variance is proposed to improve segmentation performance. The two-dimensional histogram of the original and local average image is projec...
متن کاملNonlinear Wigner Ville spectrum estimation using wavelet soft thresholding
The large variance of the Wigner Ville distribution makes smoothing essential for producing readable estimates of the time varying power spectrum of noise corrupted signals Since linear smoothing trades reduced variance for increased bias of the signal components we explore two nonlinear estimation techniques based on soft thresholding in an orthonormal basis representation Soft thresholding pr...
متن کاملECME Thresholding Methods for Sparse Signal Reconstruction
We propose a probabilistic framework for interpreting and developing hard thresholding sparse signal reconstruction methods and present several new algorithms based on this framework. The measurements follow an underdetermined linear model, where the regression-coefficient vector is the sum of an unknown deterministic sparse signal component and a zero-mean white Gaussian component with an unkn...
متن کاملOptimal Multi-Level Thresholding Based on Maximum Tsallis Entropy via an Artificial Bee Colony Approach
This paper proposes a global multi-level thresholding method for image segmentation. As a criterion for this, the traditional method uses the Shannon entropy, originated from information theory, considering the gray level image histogram as a probability distribution, while we applied the Tsallis entropy as a general information theory entropy formalism. For the algorithm, we used the artificia...
