Abstract :
In this paper, an entropic thresholding method based on the gray-level spatial correlation (GLSC) histogram defined by ourselves is presented. Compared with traditional two-dimensional histogram, we take into account the image local property in a different way by GLSC histogram. In experiment, we make comparison of the proposed method with two-dimensional entropic thresholding method proposed by Abutaleb and one-dimensional entropic thresholding method proposed by Kapur. The experiment demonstrates that generally our method could yield equivalent or even better result than Abutalebpsilas method while saving time remarkably and perform much better than Kapurpsilas method without too more time consumption.
