This paper presents an evaluation of eleven locally adaptive binarization methods for gray scale images with low contrast, variable background intensity and noise. Niblack’s method with the addition of the postprocessing step of Yanowitz and Bruckstein’s method added performed the best, and was also one of the fastest binarization methods. Keywords— Locally adaptive binarization, Thresholding, ...

In the context of wavelet denoising and compression, we study minimum description length (MDL) criteria for model selection criteria as exible forms of thresholding. Mixture MDL methods based on a single Laplacian, a two-piece Laplacian, and a generalized Gaussian prior are shown to be adaptive thresholding rules. While achieving mean squared error performance comparable with other popular thre...

Thresholding based iterative algorithms have the trade-off between effectiveness and optimality. Some are effective but involving sub-matrix inversions in every step of iterations. For systems of large sizes, such algorithms can be computationally expensive and/or prohibitive. The null space tuning algorithm with hard thresholding and feedbacks (NST+HT+FB) has a mean to expedite its procedure b...

One of the most straightforward, direct and efficient approaches to Image Segmentation is Image Thresholding. Multi-level Image Thresholding is an essential viewpoint in many image processing and Pattern Recognition based real-time applications which can effectively and efficiently classify the pixels into various groups denoting multiple regions in an Image. Thresholding based Image Segmentati...

A new pipelined architecture for adaptive progressive thresholding (APT) is proposed. Unlike the conventional architectures that rely heavily on multipliers and dividers to evaluate the maximum between-class variance, our method employs a reconfigurable logarithmic computing unit to simplify the circuitry and increases the application’s agility to operational variation. Our logarithmic conversi...

Non-local means (NLM) is a popular image denoising scheme for reducing additive Gaussian noise. It uses a patch-based approach to find similar regions within a search neighborhood and estimates the denoised pixel based on the weighted average of all pixels in the neighborhood. All weights are considered for averaging, irrespective of the value of the weights. This paper proposes an improved var...

In this research work, to understand the types of cancer cell and attempt to analyses the biopsy slides. In this method to identify cancer parts just using simple technique of isolation of insignificant portion of biopsy slide by cancer cell level and object level segmentation and classification. Many features used in the cancer cell detection and classification of biopsy image are inspired by ...

Adaptive thresholding methods have proved to yield high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and fast convergence in finding the solution to the Compressed Sensing (CS) problems. Recently, It was observed that the robustness of a class of iterative sparse recovery algorithms such as Iterative Method with Adaptive Thresholding (IMAT) outperforms the well-known LASSO algorithm in terms of reconstruction q...
