Most researched area in the field of object oriented image processing procedure is efficient and effective image segmentation. Segmentation is a process of partitioning a digital image into multiple regions (sets of pixels), according to some homogeneity criterion. In this paper, we introduce a spatial domain segmentation framework based on the histogram analysis and soft threshold. The histogram analysis uses discontinuity and similarity properties of image statistics in tandem with distribution of pixels to define the binary label for a homogenous region. The soft threshold used for classification is determined based on the localized statistics of the image in consideration for merging of the regions. Simulation results and analysis would verify that the proposed algorithm shows good performance in image segmentation without choosing the region of interest.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
