Image Threshold Segmentation Algorithm Based on Histogram Statistical Property

摘要

The traditional Otsu threshold algorithm is not a good method for processing the real images because of complex shape and unbalanced distribution. To solve this problem, the paper uses the thinking of Otsu's method for reference, introduces a threshold segmentation algorithm based on histogram statistical property. In addition, the paper draws a comparison between the new algorithm and Otsu's algorithm. Experimental results show that the new algorithm can get better segmentation effect than that of Otsu's method when the gray-level distribution of the background follows normal distribution approximatively, and the target region is less than the background region.
