Multilevel image thresholding based on Rao algorithms and Kapur’s Entropy
In the fields of computer vision and digital image processing, image segmentation denotes a process whereby an image is segmented into multiple regions. Image segmentation based on multilevel thresholding has received significant attention in recent literature. In this paper, a multilevel thresholding approach based on three different Rao algorithms and Kapur’s entropy is investigated. The performance of the considered thresholding methods is evaluated on a dataset of 10 standard benchmark images using the mean of objective function values, the standard deviation of objective function values, and the best objective function value obtained over a fixed number of independent runs. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the multilevel thresholding approach based on Rao algorithms and Kapur’s entropy.
