摘要
Finding the optimal threshold(s) for an image with a multimodal histogram is described in well-known literature as a problem in fitting a sum of Gaussians to the histogram. This fitting problem is shown experimentally to be a nonlinear minimization with local minima. A new minimization technique, tree annealing, is presented which finds the global minimum. Experimental results for histograms with two and three modes are presented.
