Abstract

For use in hand-printed character recognition, this paper introduces a method of binarization that can cope with quite large and abrupt changes of the grey levels of black and white. The binarizing threshold is a piece-wise linear function of a local maximum white level, and this function is conveniently implemented by means of associative addressing.

In digital image processing, thresholding is a well-known technique for image segmentation. Because of its wide applicability to other areas of the digital image processing, quite a number of thresholding methods have been proposed over the years. In this paper, we present a survey of thresholding techniques and update the earlier survey work by Weszka (Comput. Vision Graphics & Image Process 7, 1978, 259–265) and Fu and Mu (Pattern Recognit. 13, 1981, 3–16). We attempt to evaluate the performance of some automatic global thresholding methods using the criterion functions such as uniformity and shape measures. The evaluation is based on some real world images.

Region growing systems and their role in pictorial segmentation are reviewed. Developmental trends relating these systems are examined; multiregional growth controlling predicates replace regional predictes, semantic information supplements syntactic information, and partitioning extends merging techniques. Results on order independence are applied to region growing algorithms. Finally, a global initialization technique is suggested.
