摘要
A locally adaptive thresholding algorithm, concerning the extraction of targets from a given field of background, is proposed. Conventional histogram-based or global-type methods are deficient in detecting small targets of possibly low contrast as well. Our research is notable for solving the mentioned problems by introducing 1) shape connectivity measure based on eel-occurrence statistics for threshold evaluation; and 2) no-target identification procedure for modeling a local processing paradigm, In this manner, thresholds are determined adaptively even in the presence of space-varying noise or clutters. Experiments show that our results are reliable and even outperform those that manual operations can achieve for global thresholding.
