چکیده
An efficient hierarchical approach for image multi-level thresholding is proposed based on the maximum entropy principle and Bayes’ formula, in which no assumptions of the image histogram are made. Five forms of conditional probability distributions are employed for optimal threshold determination. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is effective and achieves a significant improvement in speed compared to the exhaustive search method.

A Hierarchical Multilevel Image Thresholding Method Based on the Maximum Fuzzy Entropy Principle
Image thresholding and edge detection are crucial in image processing and understanding. In this chapter, the authors propose a hierarchical multilevel image thresholding method for edge information extraction based on the maximum fuzzy entropy principle. In order to realize multilevel thresholding, a tree structure is used to express the histogram of an image. In each level of the tree structu...

An efficient method for two-level thresholding is proposed based on the Bayes’ formula and the maximum entropy principle, in which no assumptions of the image histogram are made. Five forms of conditional probability distributions, Simple, Linear, Parabola Concave, Parabola Convex and S-Function, are employed and compared to each other for optimal threshold determination. The experiment results...
متن کاملAn Effective Multilevel Thresholding Approach Using Conditional Probability Entropy and Genetic Algorithm
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...
متن کاملCuckoo search algorithm and wind driven optimization based study of satellite image segmentation for multilevel thresholding using Kapur's entropy
The objective of image segmentation is to extract meaningful objects. A meaningful segmentation selects the proper threshold values to optimize a criterion using entropy. The conventional multilevel thresholding methods are efficient for bi-level thresholding. However, they are computationally expensive when extended to multilevel thresholding since they exhaustively search the optimal threshol...
متن کاملAn Automatic Multilevel Image Thresholding Using Relative Entropy and Meta-Heuristic Algorithms
Multilevel thresholding has been long considered as one of the most popular techniques for image segmentation. Multilevel thresholding outputs a gray scale image in which more details from the original picture can be kept, while binary thresholding can only analyze the image in two colors, usually black and white. However, two major existing problems with the multilevel thresholding technique a...
