Abstract:
Since the logarithmic form of Shannon entropy has the drawback of undefined value at zero points, and most existing threshold selection methods only depend on the probability information, ignoring the within-class uniformity of gray level, a method of reciprocal gray entropy threshold selection is proposed based on two-dimensional(2-D) histogram region oblique division and artificial bee colony (ABC) optimization. Firstly, the definition of reciprocal gray entropy is introduced. Then on the basis of one-dimensional (1-D) method, 2-D threshold selection criterion function based on reciprocal gray entropy with histogram oblique division is derived. To accelerate the progress of searching the optimal threshold, the recently proposed ABC optimization algorithm is adopted. The proposed method not only avoids the undefined value points in Shannon entropy, but also achieves high accuracy and anti-noise performance due to reasonable 2-D histogram region division and the consideration of within-class uniformity of gray level. A large number of experimental results show that, compared with the maximum Shannon entropy method with 2-D histogram oblique division and the reciprocal entropy method with 2-D histogram oblique division based on niche chaotic mutation particle swarm optimization (NCPSO), the proposed method can achieve better segmentation results and can satisfy the requirement of real-time processing.
