In this paper we first determine three phases of cell images: background, cytoplasm and nucleolus according to the general physical characteristics of cell images, and then develop a variational model, based on these characteristics, to segment nucleolus and cytoplasm from their relatively complicated backgrounds. In the meantime, the preprocessing obtained information of cell images using the otsu algorithm is used to initialize the level set function in the model, which can speed up the segmentation and present satisfactory results in cell image processing.

In order to overcome the traditional otsu algorithm weakness in the complex image segmentation, a new segmentation algorithm was introduced in this paper to detect the surface defect of parts, which applied with morphology and wavelet transform into the otsu algorithm. There were two steps in the algorithm, one was segmentation target from the background and the other was segmentation defect from the target. As the first segmentation, the target image was acquired through separating the target from background image using the morphology method. Then, the monolayer wavelet coefficient was applied to separate the target image. Thirdly, the redundancy information in the image was removed by means of the low frequency-reconstruction. Finally, the one and two dimensional otsu algorithm were used to segment the defect from part surface. The experiments prove that this new algorithm has higher segmentation accuracy and better noise resistance than that of the traditional one and two dimensional otsu. Moreover, improved one-dimensional algorithm is superior to that of the two-dimensional ones.

The controller of the power detection module is a Holtek chip. The docking structure is designed with one active degree of freedom and two passive degrees of freedom. For image processing, the mobile robot uses a webcam to capture a real-time image. The image signal is transmitted to the controller of the mobile robot via a USB interface. We use an otsu algorithm to calculate the distance and orientation of the docking station from the mobile robot.

This paper presents a novel algorithm based on projector features to eliminate dynamic shadow. Through the projected image, this method will split the vehicle, and extract the single-vehicle image. Then using the gradient projection separates regions of shadow and vehicle. Effect of shadow elimination of the algorithm is better, and separated image of vehicles has not holes. In addition, this paper improves the algorithm of shadow elimination based HSV color space by optimizing the Ostu algorithm. Using merging algorithm integrates these two algorithms to further improve the effect of shadow elimination. And performance of the algorithm is more accurate description by using performance parameters of F.

Traffic lane detection technology has attracted increasing attention in fiejd of autonomous driving. After analyzing the characteristic of the images of the traffic lane, a robust approach was studied based on lane recognition. The adaptive threshold based on otsu algorithm was used for different illumination demands during image preprocessing. Lanes were then detected by Hough Transformation. In lane traclong, the region of interest was established with parameters through the Kalman predictor. Then lanes were searched in the region. At last, the lane departure wanrning module was added to the algorithm according to the distance between the vehicle and the lane. Experiment results indicate that the algorithm has good robustness and efficiency.

An effective method for traffic sign segmentation is proposed. Through the selection of appropriate characteristic operator on the basis of the distinctive color features of traffic sign, it first quickly obtains gray image of chromatic aberration. Then, the otsu's thresholding algorithm is subsequently applied to locate accurately the candidate regions of the traffic sign. The experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm can extract the traffic sign from the background well up to the technical standards under various natural illuminating conditions, and the segmentation effect is superior to that performed by the generic segmentation with steady threshold, and the performance in shape checking is thus improved. The presented approach is featured in good robustness, high speed, and as a result can be potentially applied to the real-time processing and commercialization.

An unsupervised fuzzy clustering technique, Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm has been widely used in image segmentation. However, the conventional FCM algorithm must be estimated by expertise users to determine the cluster numbers. To overcome the limitation of FCM algorithm, an automated fuzzy c-mean (AFCM) algorithm is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm initiates the first two centroids of clusters by a method based on otsu algorithm and automatically determines the appropriate cluster number for image segmentation. The performance of the proposed technique has been tested with reference to conventional FCM. The experimental results demonstrate that AFCM can spontaneously estimate the appropriate number of clusters and its performance is faster convergence than the performance of the conventional FCM.

The identification and localization of lesions in scintimammography breast images is a crucial stage in the early detection of cancer. Scintimammography breast images are obtained using a small, high-resolution breast-specific Gamma Camera (e.g. LumaGEM(TM) Gamma Ray Camera, Gamma Medica Instruments, Northridge, CA). The resulting images contain information about possible lesions but they are very noisy. This requires a robust image segmentation algorithm to accurately contour the region should it exist. The algorithm must perform robust localization, minimize the misclassifications, and lead to efficient practical implementations despite the influence of blurring and the presence of noise. This paper discusses and implements a robust spatial domain algorithm known as the otsu algorithm for automatic selection of threshold level from the image histogram and to detect and contour objects/regions in grayscale digital images. Specifically, this paper develops the algorithm that is used to identify cancerous lesions in breast images. There are two primary objectives of this paper. First, to design and implement a contour detection algorithm suitable for the constraints posed by scintimammography breast images, and secondly, to provide the physician with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which facilitates the visualization and classification of the images.
