Segmentation, Histogram.
Segmentation, Three Classes.
This early histogram based approach was applied to images of cells
to find the three types of regions. Two peaks occurred in the
histogram (the third region is the brightest areas) which leads to
two threshold settings to extract the regions. Also has Prewitt
operator for edge detection.

Recognize Characters.
OCR. The optical page reader was designed to recognize input in multiple
fonts, this paper reports on the system used to find the individual
characters. The basic threshold is given as a function of the
average contrast over a specified area. This value is adjusted
(locally) to optimize the line widths of the characters and to
eliminate spatial noise near a character. This early system works
on very simple, well-defined scenes, but shows the capabilities of a
thresholding system.
