Abstract:This paper addresses the thresholding of biological images through multiobjective optimization techniques. Three objective functions are used during the optimization, which are combined at pairs: Shannon entropy versus Otsu's inter-class and Shannon entropy versus Otsu's intra-class. We show that although both combinations are obtaining the same vector of thresholds, the first objective function pair presents less computational effort to compute the Pareto front. Furthermore, we have also show that the size of… Show more
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.
