Abstract

In this work we present a thresholding algorithm for greyscale images. Our proposal is based on the use of grouping functions to find the best threshold. These functions are able to measure the membership of a grey intensity to the background or to the object of the image, so the best threshold is the one associated with the highest grouping value. To avoid the hard task concerning the choice of a suitable grouping function for any given image, we propose to use a combination of several of them. We study different ways of choosing the weights for this combination.
