Abstract

The basic idea of conventional thresholding is that an image consists of objects and their background where the gray levels of the objects are different from those of the background. In this paper, we extend it to one where an image consists of not only objects and the background but also their edges. Based on this extension, we propose an edge detection-based thresholding method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by experimental results tested on six well-known test images and compared with conventional methods.

기존의 영상 이진화에 대한 알고리즘의 기본 아이디어는 영상이 회색 수준의 차이에 의하여 물체와 배경으로 구분된다는 가정에서 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 가정을 확장하여 영상은 물체와 배경뿐만 아니라 하나를 더 추가하여 그 테두리로 이루어진다고 가정하고 테두리 검출에 기반한 이진화 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 타당성을 보이기 위하여 6개의 잘 알려진 영상에 대하여 모의실험을 수행하고, 그 결과로부터 기존의 방법들과의 성능을 비교 검토한다.
