8.3 Global - Threshold Based Segmentation Techniques

Chapter Contents (Back)
The early work was to separate an object from its background. Ohlander advanced the technique to general multi-spectral and multi-object images. This basic method was misinterpreted but for a basic method is still the best. Several different implementations have been done. Segmentation, Thresholds.

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. BibRef 7000

And: CMetImAly77(59-68). Segmentation, Binarization. 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. BibRef
