An Improved Otsu Image Segmentation Algorithm

Abstract:

Otsu segmentation algorithm is one of the most successful algorithms in the field of image processing,However, it has drawbacks such as it is poor in dividing small object in images. This paper propose a improved Otsu algorithm based on weighted smooth histogram which can ensure the location of threshold point is more near to the valley point of the image and at the same time ensure the ensure between-class variance maximum.The results show that the improved Otsu algorithm can effectively accomplish segmentation for multimodal image, and get better segmentation results for images added Gaussian noise.
