Application of Auto_Threshold plugin for cut surface evaluation of white cheese in brine

摘要

This paper presents a research over application of global thresholding methods for evaluation of cut surface of white cheese in brine.Six trademarks Bulgarian white cheese in brine produced of cow,sheep and goat milk are used for cut surface evaluation.Examined cheese samples are evaluated by experts and the results are used as referent assessment for results of image processing trough thresholding algorithms.A Java program is developed for image segmentation with specific thresholding algorithm using two or three colors in different modes to produce segmented image.The images of cheese samples(their cut surfaces)are processed with developed program using all of the seventeen thresholding algorithms which are implemented in Auto_Threshold plugin for open source software ImageJ in different modes.A correlation analysis shows that some of thresholding algorithms which are implemented in Auto_Threshold plugin could be used for cut surface evaluation of white cheese in brine.
