An adaptive unimodal and hysteresis thresholding method

Abstract

This paper addresses the unimodal and hysteresis thresholding, where a pair of low and high thresholds is under investigation targeted with the unimodal image histogram. The novel bowstring is introduced to make an accurate priori -measurement of the overall tendency of the histogram. The dual-threshold is further computed by adaptively searching two tangent points corresponding to the properly defined transitional characteristics over the whole histogram. The effectiveness of this proposed algorithm is evaluated using the Baddeley’s discrepancy.
