The traditional moment preserving (MP) may cause owe-segmentation, over-segmentation and ignorance of image details, so this paper introduced a image threshold segmentation method based on the gradient adjustment and improved MP. Firstly, the method got a new image by sharpening the original image, then acquired the initial threshold by MP for the new image, afterwards, obtained the final threshold by the image histogram mean improving the initial threshold, finally, segmented the sharpened image. Experimental results showed that the proposed method can not only well resolve the problem of owe-segmentation and over-segmentation, get better segmentation result, but also retain a wealth of details and advantage of the original MP. The algorithm was simple, efficient and fast.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
