Abstract:
According to multi-resolution analysis of wavelet threshold denoising principle, this paper presented two improved algorithms of continuity and adaptive threshold based on hard thresholding. The soft thresholding (hyperbolic thresholding) was used in the intervals after setting two thresholds, and the isolated points were removed according to the adjacent correlation coefficient during the processing. As a result, the hard thresholding’s shortcomings were reduced. The simulation results show that improved algorithms have both better visual effect and PSNR than the traditional approaches.

Abstract:
Advances in digital technologies have allowed us to generate more images than ever. Images of scanned documents are examples of these images that form a vital part in digital libraries and archives. Scanned degraded documents contain background noise and varying contrast and illumination, therefore, document image binarisation must be performed in order to separate foreground from background layers. Image binarisation is performed using either local adaptive thresholding or global thresholding; with local thresholding being generally considered as more successful. This paper presents a novel method to global thresholding, where a neural network is trained using local threshold values of an image in order to determine an optimum global threshold value which is used to binarise the whole image. The proposed method is compared with five local thresholding methods, and the experimental results indicate that our method is computationally cost-effective and capable of binarising scanned degraded documents with superior results.

Abstract:
Image thresholding is one of the fastest and most effective methods of detecting objects in infrared images. This paper proposes an infrared image thresholding method based on the functional approximation of the histogram. The one-dimensional histogram of the image is approximated to the transient response of a first-order linear circuit. The threshold value for the image segmentation is formulated using combinational analogues of standard operators and principles from the concept of the transient behavior of the first-order linear circuit. The proposed method is tested on infrared images gathered from the standard databases and the experimental results are compared with the existing state-of-the-art infrared image thresholding methods. We realized through the experimental results that our method is well suited to perform infrared image thresholding.

Abstract:
Multilevel thresholding is widely used in brain magnetic resonance (MR) image segmentation. In this article, a multilevel thresholding-based brain MR image segmentation technique is proposed. The image is first filtered using anisotropic diffusion. Then multilevel thresholding based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is performed on the filtered image to get the final segmented image. Otsu function is used to select the thresholds. The proposed technique is compared with standard PSO and bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) based multilevel thresholding techniques. The objective image quality metrics such as Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Structural SIMilarity (MSSIM) index are used to evaluate the quality of the segmented images. The experimental results suggest that the proposed technique gives significantly better-quality image segmentation compared to the other techniques when applied to T2-weitghted brain MR images.

Abstract:
Image segmentation is a method of segregating the image into required segments/regions. Image thresholding being a simple and effective technique, mostly used for image segmentation, these thresholds are optimized by optimization techniques by maximizing the Tsallis entropy. However, as the two level thresholding extends to multi-level thresholding, the computational complexity of the algorithm is further increased. So there is need of evolutionary and swarm optimization techniques. In this article, first time optimal thresholds are obtained by maximizing the Tsallis entropy by using novel hybrid bacteria foraging optimization technique and particle swam optimization (hBFOA-PSO). The proposed hBFOA-PSO algorithm performance in segmenting the image is tested using natural and standard images. Experiments show that the proposed hBFOA-PSO is better than particle swarm optimization (PSO), the cuckoo search (CS) and the adaptive Cuckoo Search (ACS).

Abstract:
Abstract Cloud detection is the precondition for deriving other information (e.g., cloud cover) in ground-based sky imager applications. This paper puts forward an effective cloud detection approach, the Hybrid Thresholding Algorithm (HYTA) that fully exploits the benefits of the combination of fixed and adaptive thresholding methods. First, HYTA transforms an input color cloud image into a normalized blue/red channel ratio image that can keep a distinct contrast, even with noise and outliers. Then, HYTA identifies the ratio image as either unimodal or bimodal according to its standard deviation, and the unimodal and bimodal images are handled by fixed and minimum cross entropy (MCE) thresholding algorithms, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that HYTA shows an accuracy of 88.53%, which is far higher than those of either fixed or MCE thresholding alone. Moreover, HYTA is also verified to outperform other state-of-the-art cloud detection approaches.

Abstract:
Image segmentation is an important problem for image processing. The image processing applications are generally affectedfromthe segmentation success. There is noany image segmentation method which gives good results for all sorts of images. That’s why there are many approaches and methods forimage segmentationin the literature. And one of the most used is the thresholding technique. Thresholding techniques can be categorized into two topics: bi-level and multi-level thresholding. Bi-level thresholding technique has one threshold value which separates the image into two groups. However, multi-level thresholding technique uses n threshold values where n greater than one. In this paper, two swarm optimization algorithms (Particle Swarm Optimization, PSO and Cat Swarm Optimization, CSO) are applied on finding the optimum threshold values for the multi-level thresholding. In literature, there are some minimization or maximization functions to find the best threshold values for thresholding problem. Some of these methods are: Tsalli’s Entropy, Kapur’s Entropy, Renyi’s Entropy, Otsu’s Method (within class variance/between class variance), the Minimum Cross Entropy Thresholding (MCET) etc.In this work, Otsu’s (within class variance) method, which is one of these popular functions,is used as the fitness function of algorithms.In the experiments, five real images are segmented by usingParticle Swarm Algorithm and Cat Swarm Optimization Algorithms. The performances of the swarm algorithms on multi-level thresholding problem arecompared with Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and fitness function (FS) values. As a result, the PSO yields better performance than CSO.

Abstract:
Image segmentation is a critical problem in computer vision and other image processing applications. Image segmentation has become quite challenging over the years due to its widespread use in a variety of applications. Image thresholding is a popular image segmentation technique. The segmented image quality is determined by the techniques used to determine the threshold value.A locally adaptive thresholding method based on neighborhood processing is presented in this paper. The performance of locally thresholding methods like Niblack and Sauvola was demonstrated using real-world images, printed text, and handwritten text images. Threshold-based segmentation methods were investigated using misclassification error, MSE and PSNR. Experiments have shown that the Sauvola method outperforms real-world images, printed and handwritten text images in terms of misclassification error, PSNR, and MSE.

Abstract:
Digital images have been a major form of transmission of visual information, but due to the presence of noise, the image gets corrupted. Thus, processing of the received image needs to be done before being used in an application. Denoising of image involves data manipulation to remove noise in order to produce a good quality image retaining different details. Quantitative measures have been used to show the improvement in the quality of the restored image by the use of various thresholding techniques by the use of parameters mainly, MSE (Mean Square Error), PSNR (Peak-Signal-to-Noise-Ratio) and SSIM (Structural Similarity index). Here, non-linear wavelet transform denoising techniques of natural images are studied, analyzed and compared using thresholding techniques such as soft, hard, semi-soft, LevelShrink, SUREShrink, VisuShrink and BayesShrink. On most of the tests, PSNR and SSIM values for LevelShrink Hard thresholding method is higher as compared to other thresholding methods. For instance, from tests PSNR and SSIM values of lena image for VISUShrink Hard, VISUShrink Soft, VISUShrink Semi Soft, LevelShrink Hard, LevelShrink Soft, LevelShrink Semi Soft, SUREShrink, BayesShrink thresholding methods at the variance of 10 are 23.82, 16.51, 23.25, 24.48, 23.25, 20.67, 23.42, 23.14 and 0.28, 0.28, 0.28, 0.29, 0.22, 0.25, 0.16 respectively which shows that the PSNR and SSIM values for LevelShrink Hard thresholding method is higher as compared to other thresholding methods, and so on. Thus, it can be stated that the performance of LevelShrink Hard thresholding method is better on most of tests.

Abstract:
Image thresholding is an important topic for image processing, pattern recognition and computer vision. Fuzzy set theory has been successfully applied to many areas, and it is generally believed that image processing bears some fuzziness in nature. In this paper, we employ the newly proposed 2D homogeneity histogram (homogram) and the maximum fuzzy entropy principle to perform thresholding. We have conducted experiments on a variety of images. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can select the thresholds automatically and effectively. Especially, it not only can process "clean" images, but also can process images with different kinds of noises and images with multiple kinds of noise well without knowing the type of the noise, which is the most difficult task for image thresholding. It will be useful for applications in computer vision and image processing.

Abstract:
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Background subtraction-based techniques of moving object detection are very common in computer vision programs. Each technique of background subtraction employs image thresholding algorithms. Different thresholding methods generate varying threshold values that provide dissimilar moving object detection results. A majority of background subtraction techniques use grey images which reduce the computational cost but statistics-based image thresholding methods do not consider the spatial distribution of pixels. In this study, authors have developed a background subtraction technique using Lab colour space and used spatial correlations for image thresholding. Four thresholding methods using spatial correlation are developed by computing the difference between opposite colour pairs of background and foreground frames. Out of 9 indoor and outdoor scenes, the object is detected successfully in 7 scenes whereas existing background subtraction technique using grey images with commonly used thresholding methods detected moving objects in 1–5 scenes. Shape and boundaries of detected objects are also better defined using the developed technique.</p>

Abstract:
In cytogenetics, karyotype analysis is used to assess the presence of genetic defects by visualization chromosomes structure from microscopic images. A key step in this process is image thresholding, used to detect and extract objects of interest from background, as it affects the performance of further processing steps in image analysis. In this paper, an adaptive local thresholding for Qband chromosome image segmentation is presented. A re-threshold process based on the Sauvola’s local adaptive technique is applied to extract chromosomes from background. Local adaptive histogram equalization is added between thresholding steps to enhance chromosome segments to reduce the chances of pixel misclassification. The proposed thresholding approach provides 93 % of precision, which is better than other similar approaches when evaluated on a reference image dataset.

Abstract:
In this article, an attempt is made to diagnose brain diseases like neoplastic, cerebrovascular, Alzheimer's, and sarcomas by the effective fusion of two images. The two images are fused in three steps. Step 1. Segmentation: The images are segmented on the basis of optimal thresholding, the thresholds are optimized with an improved firefly algorithm (pFA) by assuming Renyi entropy as an objective function. Earlier, image thresholding was performed with a 1-D histogram, but it has been recently observed that a 2-D histogram-based thresholding is better. Step 2: the segmented features are extracted with the scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm. The SIFT algorithm is good in extracting the features even after image rotation and scaling. Step 3: The fusion rules are made on the basis of an interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2FL), where uncertainty effects are minimized unlike type-1. The novelty of the proposed work is tested on different benchmark image fusion data sets and has proven better in all measuring parameters.

Abstract:
The segmentation methods for image processing are studied in the presented work. Image segmentation can be defined as a vital step in digital image processing. Also, it is used in various applications including object co-segmentation, recognition tasks, medical imaging, content based image retrieval, object detection, machine vision and video surveillance. A lot of approaches were created for image segmentation. In addition, the main goal of segmentation is to facilitate and alter the image representation into something which is more important and simply to be analyzed. The approaches of image segmentation are splitting the images into a few parts on the basis of image’s features including texture, color, pixel intensity value and so on. With regard to the presented study, many approaches of image segmentation are reviewed and discussed. The techniques of segmentation might be categorized into six classes: First, thresholding segmentation techniques such as global thresholding (iterative thresholding, minimum error thresholding, otsu's, optimal thresholding, histogram concave analysis and entropy based thresholding), local thresholding (Sauvola’s approach, T.R Singh’s approach, Niblack’s approaches, Bernsen’s approach Bruckstein’s and Yanowitz method and Local Adaptive Automatic Binarization) and dynamic thresholding. Second, edge-based segmentation techniques such as gray-histogram technique, gradient based approach (laplacian of gaussian, differential coefficient approach, canny approach, prewitt approach, Roberts approach and sobel approach). Thirdly, region based segmentation approaches including Region growing techniques (seeded region growing (SRG), statistical region growing, unseeded region growing (UsRG)), also merging and region splitting approaches. Fourthly, clustering approaches, including soft clustering (fuzzy C-means clustering (FCM)) and hard clustering (K-means clustering). Fifth, deep neural network techniques such as convolution neural network, recurrent neural networks (RNNs), encoder-decoder and Auto encoder models and support vector machine. Finally, hybrid techniques such as evolutionary approaches, fuzzy logic and swarm intelligent (PSO and ABC techniques) and discusses the pros and cons of each method.

Image processing is most vital area of research and application in field of medical-imaging. Especially it is a major component in medical science. Starting from radiology to ultrasound (sonography), MRI, etc. in lots of area image is the only source of diagnosis process. Now-a-days, different types of devices are being introduced to capture the internal body parts in medical science to carry the diagnosis process correctly. However, due to various reasons, the captured images need to be tuned digitally to gain the more information. These processes involve noise reduction, segmentations, thresholding etc. . Image segmentation is a process to segment the target area of image to identify the area more prominently. There are different process are evolved to perform the segmentation process, one of which is Image thresholding. Moreover there are different tools are also introduce to perform this step of image thresholding. The recent introduced tool PSO is being used here to segment the MRI scans to identify the brain lesions using image thresholding technique.

Abstract:
Traditional thresholding methods are often used for image segmentation of real images. However, due to distinct characteristics of infrared thermal images, it is difficult to ensure an optimal image segmentation using the traditional thresholding algorithms, and therefore, sometimes this can lead to over-segmentation, missing object information, and/or spurious responses in the output. To overcome these issues, we propose a new thresholding technique that makes use of the sine entropy-based criterion. Moreover, we build a double thresholding technique that makes use of two thresholds to get the final image thresholding result. Besides, we introduce the sine entropy concept as a supplement of the Shannon entropy in creating threshold-dependent criterion derived from the grayscale histogram. We found that the sine entropy is more robust in interpreting the strength of the long-range correlation in the gray levels compared to the Shannon entropy. We have experimented with our method on several infrared thermal images collected from standard image databases to describe the performance. On comparing with the state-of-art methods, the qualitative results from the experiments show that the proposed method achieves the best performance with an average sensitivity of 0.98 and an average misclassification error of 0.01, and second-best performance with an average sensitivity of 0.99 and an average specificity of 0.93.

Abstract:
Background: Images of amyloid-β pathology characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease are difficult to consistently and accurately segment, due to diffuse deposit boundaries and imaging variations. Methods: We evaluated the performance of ImageSURF, our open-source ImageJ plugin, which considers a range of image derivatives to train image classifiers. We compared ImageSURF to standard image thresholding to assess its reproducibility, accuracy and generalizability when used on fluorescence images of amyloid pathology. Results: ImageSURF segments amyloid-β images significantly more faithfully, and with significantly greater generalizability, than optimized thresholding. Conclusion: In addition to its superior performance in capturing human evaluations of pathology images, ImageSURF is able to segment image sets of any size in a consistent and unbiased manner, without requiring additional blinding, and can be retrospectively applied to existing images. The training process yields a classifier file which can be shared as supplemental data, allowing fully open methods and data, and enabling more direct comparisons between different studies.

Abstract:
A neutrosophic set (Ns), a part of neutrosophy theory, studies the origin, nature, and scope of neutralities, as well as their interactions with different ideational spectra. The neutrosophic set is a powerful general formal framework that has been recently proposed. However, the neutrosophic set needs to be specified from a technical point of view. We apply the neutrosophic set in image domain and define some concepts and operations for image thresholding. The image G is transformed into Ns domain, which is described using three subsets T, I and F. The entropy in neutrosophic set is defined and employed to evaluate the indetermination. A new λ-mean operation is proposed to reduce the set's indetermination. Finally, the proposed method is employed to perform image thresholding. We have conducted experiments on a variety of images. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can select the thresholds automatically and effectively. Especially, it can process the "clean" images, the images with different kinds of noise and the images with multiple kinds of noise well without knowing the type of the noise, which is the most difficult task for image thresholding.

Abstract:
The paper presents a method for the macroscopic characterization of diesel sprays starting from digital images. Macroscopic spray characterization mainly consists in the definition of two parameters, namely penetration and cone angle. The latter can be evaluated according to many possible definitions, all based on the spray contour that is obtained by means of image thresholding. Therefore, the obtained cone angle value depends on the adopted angle definition and on the used thresholding algorithm. In order to avoid this double dependence, an alternative method has hence been proposed. The algorithm does not require the image thresholding and has an intrinsic cone angle definition. The algorithm takes advantage of principal component analysis technique and allows for a direct estimation of spray penetration and cone angle by comparing the original image with a database made of artificial spray images. In the present work, images coming from two different experiments are analyzed with the proposed method and results are compared with those obtained with a traditional procedure based on the Otsu’s image thresholding and four cone angle definitions.

Abstract:
A new style of fuzzy wavelets is proposed by the fuzzification of morphological wavelets. Due to the correspondence of the morphological wavelets operations and fuzzy relational ones, wavelets analysis/synthesis schemes can be formulated based on fuzzy relational calculus. To enable efficient image compression/reconstruction, the concept of the alpha-band which is an alpha-cut generalization, is also proposed for thresholding wavelets. In an image compression/reconstruction experiment using test images extracted from the Standard Image DataBAse (SIDBA), it is confirmed that the root mean square error (RMSE) of the proposed soft thresholding is decreased to 87.3% of conventional hard thresholding, when the original image is "Lenna."

Then, the method based on global quantum entropy maximization (GQEM) is proposed, which has an equivalent object function to Otsu’s, but gives a more explicit physical interpretation of image thresholding in the language of quantum mechanics. To reduce the time consumption for searching for optimal thresholds, the method of quantum lossy-encoding-based entropy maximization (QLEEM) is presented, in which the eigenvalues of density matrices can give direct clues for thresholding, and then, the process of optimal searching can be avoided. Meanwhile, the QLEEM algorithm achieves two additional effects: (1) the upper bound of the thresholding level can be implicitly determined according to the eigenvalues; and (2) the proposed approaches ensure that the local information in images is retained as much as possible, and simultaneously, the inter-class separability is maximized in the segmented images. Both of them contribute to the structural characteristics of images, which the human visual system is highly adapted to extract. Experimental results show that the proposed methods are able to achieve a competitive quality of thresholding and the fastest computation speed compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract:
To improve image quality generated from the electrical capacitance tomography measurement system, the use of entropic thresholding techniques is investigated in this article. Based on the analysis of the principle of Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) image reconstruction and entropic thresholding, various algorithms have been proposed for easy extraction of quantitative information from tomograms generated from the ECT system. Experiments indicate that proposed algorithms can provide high-quality images at no or minimum computational cost. It is easier to implement and integrate with classical algorithms such as Linear Back Projection, Singular value decomposition, Tikhonov regularization, and Landweber. Entropic thresholding techniques present a feasible and effective way toward the industrial utilization of ECT measurement systems.

Abstract:
Image thresholding is used to segment an image into background and foreground using a given threshold. The threshold can be generated using a specific algorithm instead of a pre-defined value obtained from observation or experiment. However, the algorithm involves per pixel operation, histogram calculation, and iterative procedure to search the optimum threshold that is costly for high-resolution images. In this research, parallel implementations on GPU for three adaptive image thresholding methods, namely Otsu, ISODATA, and minimum cross-entropy, were proposed to optimize their computational times to deal with high-resolution images. The approach involves parallel reduction and parallel prefix sum (scan) techniques to optimize the calculation. The proposed approach was tested on various sizes of grayscale images. The result shows that the parallel implementation of three adaptive image thresholding methods on GPU achieves 4-6 speeds up compared to the CPU implementation, reducing the computational time significantly and effectively dealing with high-resolution images.

Abstract The image segmentatation technique that is often used is thresholding. Image segmentation is a process of dividing the image into different regions according to their similar characteristics. This research proposes a multilevel thresholding algorithm using modified particle swarm optimization to solve a segmentation problem. The threshold optimal values are determined by maximizing Otsu’s objective function using optimization technique namely particle swarm optimization based on the logarithmic decreasing inertia weight (LogDIWPSO). The proposed method reduces the computational time to find the optimum thresholds of multilevel thresholding which evaluated on several grayscale images. A detailed comparison analysis with other multilevel thresholding based techniques namely particle swarm optimization (PSO), iterative particle swarm optimization (IPSO), and genetic algorithms (GA), From the experiments, Modified particle swarm optimization (MoPSO) produces better performance compared to the other methods in terms of fitness value, robustness and convergence. Therefore, it can be concluded that MoPSO is a good approach in finding the optimal threshold value. Keywords: grayscale image, inertia weight, image segmentation, particle swarm optimization.

Abstract:
This research presented a performance comparison of the two methods in cancer cells image processing. Each method consisted of two stages. The first stage was image enhancement using fuzzy sets. The second stage was optimal fuzzy entropy based image thresholding. In the thresholding stage, the first method used Firefly Algorithm (FA) and the second used Cuckoo Search (CS). In both methods, four performance metrics (Mean Squared Error (MSE), Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structured Similarity Indexing Method (SSIM), and Feature Similarity Indexing Method (FSIM)) and variance and entropy of the images were computed to validate the comparison. The image histograms of both methods show that the distribution of red, green, and blue channel is better than the histograms of original images. In terms of the four metrics, the method that uses FA shows higher performance than CS. In terms of image variance and entropy, the method using CS shows better results than FA. These results suggest that when the performance metrics used are MSE, PSNR, MSSIM, and FSIM, the method using FA is more suitable for cancer cells image enhancement and thresholding. However, when the variance and entropy of the images are used as the performance metrics, the method using CS is more suitable for cancer cells image enhancement and thresholding. Both methods will be useful to assist in the analysis of cancer cell images by the experts in the field.

Abstract:
Spatial correlation information between pixels is considered to be very important in thresholding methods. However, it is often ignored and thus unsatisfied segmentation results maybe obtained. To overcome this shortcoming, we propose a new image segmentation approach by taking not only pixels’ spatial information but also pixels’s gray level into account. First, a non-local mean filter is imposed on the image. Then the filtered image and the original image together are adopted to build a two dimensional histogram, it is called non-local mean two dimensional histogram. Finally, a minimum relative entropy criteria is used to select the ideal thresholding vector. Since the non-local mean filter process is performed in a neighborhood of current pixel, it carries out the spatial information of current pixel. Segmentation results on several images illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed thresholding method, whose segmentation accuracy are greatly improved compared to most existing thresholding methods.

Abstract:
Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) in MRI image processing can assist experts in detecting abnormality in human spine image efficiently. The manual process of detecting abnormality is tedious, hence the use of CAD in this field is helpful to increase the diagnosis efficiency. The segmentation method is an important and critical process in CAD that could affect the accuracy of the MRI spine image’s overall diagnosis. There are various segmentation methods commonly used in CAD. One of the methods is segmentation using thresholding. Thresholding approaches divide the area of interest by identifying the threshold values that can separate the image into desired grayscale levels based on its pixel’s intensity. This study focuses on investigating the optimal approach in segmenting lumbar vertebrae on the MRI images. The steps involved in this study include pre-processing (normalization), segmentation using local and global thresholding, neural network classification, and performance measurement. 20 images are used to evaluate and compare the segmentation methods. The effectiveness of the segmentation method is measured based on the performance measurement technique. This preliminary study shows that local thresholding outperforms the global thresholding approach with an accuracy of 91.4% and 87.7%.

Abstract:
Image separation is a significant task concerned in dissimilar areas from image dispensation to picture examination. One of the simplest methods for image segmentation is thresholding. Though, many thresholding methods are based on a bi-level thresholding process. These methods can be extensive to form multi-level thresholding, but they become computationally expensive since a large number of iterations would be necessary for computing the most select threshold values. In order to conquer this difficulty, a new process based on a Shrinking Search Space (3S) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The method is applied on statistical bi-level thresholding approaches including Entropy, Cross-entropy, Covariance, and Divergent Based Thresholding (DBT), to attain multi-level thresholding and used for separation from brain MRI images. The paper demonstrates that the collision of the proposed 3S method on the DBT method is more important than the other bi-level thresholding approaches. Comparing the results of using the proposed approach against those of the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering method demonstrates a better segmentation performance by improving the comparison index from 0.58 in FCM to 0.68 in the 3S method. Also, this method has a lower calculation impediment of around 0.37s with admiration to 157s dispensation time in FCM. In addition, the FCM approach does not always guarantee the convergence, whilst the 3S method always converges to the optimal result.

Abstract:
Multilevel thresholding is a widely used image segmentation technique. However, multilevel thresholding becomes more and more computationally expensive as the number of thresholds increase. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate some suitable optimization technique to make it practical. In this article, a modification is proposed to the Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm and then it is applied to multilevel thresholding for image segmentation. Cross entropy is used as the objective function to select the optimal thresholds. A set of benchmark test images are used to evaluate the proposed technique. The Mean Structural SIMilarity (MSSIM) index is used to measure the quality of the segmented images. The results of the proposed technique are compared with the original MFO, PSO, BFO, and WOA. Experimental results and analysis suggest that the proposed technique outperforms other techniques in terms of segmentation quality images and stability. Moreover, computation time required for multilevel thresholding is also reduced to a manageable level.

Abstract:
Image processing technology is one of the technologies that can help facilitate and speed up human work, especially in the process of determining the grain size distribution of soil in a civil building plan. Its utilization has been widely used to study, analyze, and understand the structure and framework of the soil. Image analysis is carried out as an initial or fundamental step in image processing to discover and comprehend information. With so many image segmentation methods, it is necessary to conduct research to determine which method is best for sandy soil image segmentation based on one of the image segmentation quality criteria, namely gaussian image noise. By testing the watershed transform method and the Otsu thresholding method as two of the area-based methods that are considered suitable for segmenting sandy soil images before and after distorted Gaussian noise based on the calculation of the mean square error (MSE) value.The results showed that the watershed transform method is better for segmenting sandy soil images when compared to the Otsu thresholding method. This is indicated by the average squared error (mse) of 3.08 for the watershed transform method and 4.09 for the Otsu Thresholding method. In addition to the comparison of quality tests of sandy soil based on gaussian noise with standard deviation values of normal distribution and noise intensities of 10, 20, and 30, it proves that the watershed transform method is still better at segmenting noise-distorted sandy soil images than the Otsu thresholding method. However, in terms of processing time, the Otsu Thresholding method is faster or better than the Watershed Transform method. of the results or conclusions brief.

Abstract:
Multilevel thresholding is a popular image segmentation technique. However, computational complexity of multilevel thresholding increases very rapidly with increasing number of thresholds. Metaheuristic algorithms are applied to reduce computational complexity of multilevel thresholding. A new method of multilevel thresholding based on Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The goodness of the thresholds is evaluated using Kapur's entropy or Otsu's between class variance function. The proposed method is tested on a set of benchmark test images and the performance is compared with PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and BFO (Bacterial Foraging Optimization) based methods. The results are analyzed objectively using the fitness function and the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) values. It is found that MFO based multilevel thresholding method performs better than the PSO and BFO based methods.

There are many existing studies released in the field of Computer Vision, especially the field of Automatic License Plate Recognition. However, most of them are focused on using one method at the time, such as Thresholding algorithms, Edge Detections or Morphological transformations. This research paper proposes to automate the License plate recognition process, by combining four algorithms from the three methods mentioned above: Adaptive Thresholding, Otsu's Thresholding, Canny Edge Detection and Morphological Gradient applied to Edge Detection. The Goal achieved is to obtain the best binary image from those methods, and the statistical technique used in, is the median of pixel's intensity of all output images obtained by the four methods. Additionally, this research offers a comparative study on thresholding techniques to choose the best method for binarizing an image, which is the first and crucial step of Automatic License Plate Recognition Process.

Abstract:
We propose a fast document image thresholding method (FADIT) and evaluations of the two classic methods for demonstrating the effectiveness of FADIT. We put forward two assumptions: (1) the probability of the occurrence of grayscale text and background is ideally two constants, and (2) a pixel with a low grayscale has a high probability of being classified as text and a pixel with a high grayscale has a high probability of being classified as background. With the two assumptions, a new criterion function is applied to document image thresholding in the Bayesian framework. The effectiveness of the method has been borne of a quantitative metric as well as qualitative comparisons with the state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract:
Abstract Thresholding is one of the powerful methods in segmentation phase. Numerous methods were proposed to segment the foreground from the background but there is limited number of studies that analyse the effect of noise since the present of noise will affect the performance of the thresholding method. In this paper, the main idea is to analyse the effect of noise in Inverse Surface Adaptive Thresholding (ISAT) method. ISAT method is known as an excellent method to segment the image with the present of noise. The result of this analysis can be a guideline to researcher when implementing ISAT method especially in medical image diagnosis. Initially, several images with different noise variations were prepared and underwent ISAT method. In ISAT method, several image processing methods were incorporated namely edge detection, Otsu thresholding and inverse surface construction. The resulting images were evaluated using Misclassification Error (ME) to evaluate the performance of the segmentation result. Based on the obtained results, ISAT performance is consistent although the noise percentage increases from 5% to 25%.

In recent years, the gray-scale thresholding segmentation has emerged as a primary tool for image segmentation. However, the application of segmentation algorithms to an image is often disappointing. Based on the characteristics analysis of infrared image, this paper develops several gray-scale thresholding segmentation methods capable of automatic segmentation in regions of pedestrians of infrared image. The approaches of gray-scale thresholding segmentation method are described. Then the experimental system is established by using the infrared CCD device for pedestrian image detection. The image segmentation results generated by the algorithm in the experiment demonstrate that the Otsu thresholding segmentation method has achieved a kind of algorithm on automatic detection and segmentation of infrared image information in regions of interest of image.
