Image segmentation is one of the important tasks in computer vision and image processing. Thresholding is a simple but most effective technique in segmentation. It based on classify image pixels into object and background depended on the relation between the gray level value of the pixels and the threshold. Otsu technique is a robust and fast thresholding techniques for most real world images w...

For appropriate matrix ensembles, greedy algorithms have proven to be an efficient means of solving the combinatorial optimization problem associated with compressed sensing. This paper describes an implementation for graphics processing units (GPU) of hard thresholding, iterative hard thresholding, normalized iterative hard thresholding, hard thresholding pursuit, and a two-stage thresholding ...

The method of signal denoising via wavelet thresholding was popularised by Donoho and Johnstone (1994, 1995) and is now widely applied in science and engineering. It is based on thresholding of wavelet coefficients arising from the standard scalar orthogonal discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Recently this approach has been extended to incorporate thresholding coefficients arising from the discr...

Due to the computational complexity of multilevel image thresholding, Swarm Intelligence Optimization Algorithm (SIOA) has been widely applied improve calculation efficiency. Therefore, more and attention paid exploring application latest SIOA in segmentation. This article takes Otsu fuzzy entropy as objective functions, using Coyote (COA) for thresholds optimization selection, through median a...

In the electroencephalography (EEG) study, eye blinks are a commonly known type of ocular artifact that appears most frequently in any EEG measurement. The can be seen as spiking electrical potentials which their time-frequency properties varied across individuals. Their presence negatively impact various medical or scientific research helpful when applying to brain-computer interface applicati...

Entropy-based image thresholding has received considerable interest in recent years. Two types of entropy are generally used as thresholding criteria: Shannon’s entropy and relative entropy, also known as Kullback–Leibler information distance, where the former measures uncertainty in an information source with an optimal threshold obtained by maximising Shannon’s entropy, whereas the latter mea...

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is widely used for diagnosis of heart diseases. Good quality of ECG is utilized by physicians for interpretation and identification of physiological and pathological phenomena. However, in real situations, ECG recordings are often corrupted by artifacts. Noise severely limits the utility of the recorded ECG and thus need to be removed, for better clinical evaluation....
