Thresholding is one of the popular and fundamental techniques for conducting image segmentation. Many thresholding techniques have been proposed in the literature. Among them, the minimum cross entropy thresholding has been widely adopted. Most minimum cross entropy thresholding methods use Gaussian distribution as an ideal reference histogram for the images to be thresholded. Clearly, it is do...

We propose a new class of generalized thresholding operators that combine thresholding with shrinkage, and study generalized thresholding of the sample covariance matrix in high dimensions. Generalized thresholding of the covariance matrix has good theoretical properties and carries almost no computational burden. We obtain an explicit convergence rate in the operator norm that shows the tradeo...

This paper proposes a model for eliminating noise from ECG using α-trimmed thresholding. In this paper, the α-trimmed thresholding tested in the wavelet based Adaptive Filter Model. The Wavelet co-efficients at every sub-band level is made adapted by LMS algorithm to minimum mean square value and thresholded the adapted coefficients. It is shown that the proposed thresholding method offers vari...

In this paper, the RD-OPT algorithm for optimizing Discrete Cosine Transform quantization tables RL95] is extended to incorporate global thresholding. Performance gains are possible by zeroing oo some DCT coeecients in DCT-based image compression. We describe a global thresholding scheme, in which the zeroing thresholds for coeecients can be arbitrarily diierent from those determined by the qua...

We present a variation on classic beam thresholding techniques that is up to an order of magnitude faster than the traditional method, at the same performance level. We also present a new thresholding technique, global thresholding, which, combined with the new beam thresholding, gives an additional factor of two improvement, and a novel technique, multiple pass parsing, tha t can be combined w...

Entropy-based image thresholding are used widely in image processing. Conventional methods are efficient in the case of bilevel thresholding. But they are very computationally time consuming when extended to multilevel thresholding since they exhaustively search the optimal thresholds to optimize the objective functions. In this paper, we propose a conditional probability entropy (CPE) based on...

Computed tomography technology is one of the important technology techniques, which shows the inside part of the human body through scanning the specific area. FDT Technique aims to augment the precision of the CT image thresholding by implementing an advanced thresholding approach from four different directions. Based on the FDT technique, the foreground and back ground pixel values of the adj...
