Abstract

This chapter deals with the methods for image thresholding. It introduces some basic concepts such as two-level and multilevel thresholding. The chapter also describes one of the main classical nonfuzzy thresholding methods—the Otzu method—and presents the Huang method based on minimization of fuzzy entropy. An application to document image analysis, using fuzzy techniques for segmentation and neuro-fuzzy system for classification is provided.
