摘要
In this paper, we present a new thresholding technique based on two-dimensional Renyi's entropy. The two-dimensional Renyi's entropy was obtained from the two-dimensional histogram which was determined by using the gray value of the pixels and the local average gray value of the pixels. This new method extends a method due to Sahoo et al. (Pattern Recognition 30 (1997) 71) and includes a previously proposed global thresholding method due to Abutaleb (Pattern Recognition 47 (1989) 22). Further, Our method extends a global thresholding method due to Chang et at. (IEEE Trans. Image Process. 4 (1995) 370) to the two-dimensional setting. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by using examples from the real-world and synthetic images. (C) 2003 Pattern Recognition Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
