  • Abstract
    In many image processing applications, image thresholding is considered to be an important task. Opposition-Based Learning (OBL) was recently introduced and used to enhance different computation algorithms. In this paper, a new thresholding algorithm is proposed by utilizing the concept of opposite fuzzy sets. The algorithm is applied on general set of images and compared with the previous opposition-based thresholding algorithm [1] and a commonly used thresholding method, namely the Otsu method. The most reliable results on the test data are achieved using the proposed algorithm.
