A Novel Threshold Selection Method Based on Iterative Clustering Strategy

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper extends our previous algorithm for clustering. This previous algorithm works fine on simulated data. It can acquire satisfactory clustering results even with annular or zonal simulated data by causing the data to shrink within a cluster. To make use of the advantages of the previous algorithm, a one-dimensional (1D) histogram is mapped to a two-dimensional (2D) image and can be clustered by the previous algorithm, thus leading to stable results of histogram thresholds. The shrinking procedures of the 2D image or the 1D histogram are given, and a new parameter strategy is discussed.
