Thresholding-based image segmentation algorithms are usually developed for a specific set of images because the objective of these algorithms is strongly related to their applications. The binarization of the image is generally preferred over multisegmentation, mainly because it’s simple and easy to implement. However, in this paper we demonstrate that a scene separation with three threshold levels can be more effective and closer to a manually performed segmentation. Also, we show that similar results can be achieved through a firefly-based meta-heuristic. Finally, we suggest a similarity measure that can be used for the comparison between the distances of the automatic and manual segmentation.
