Among ll the segmenttion methods, Otsu method is one of the most successful methods for imge thresholding ecuse of its simple clcultion. Otsu is n utomtic threshold selection region sed segmenttion method. This pper works sed on the principle of inriztion of Otsu's method. In ddition, vrious enhncement schemes re used for enhncing n imge which includes gry scle mnipultion, filtering nd Histogrm Equliztion (HE). Histogrm equliztion is one of the well-known imge enhncement technique. It ecme populr technique for contrst enhncement ecuse this method is simple nd effective. In the ltter cse, preserving the input rightness of the imge is required to void the genertion of non-existing rtifcts in the output imge. Although these methods preserve the input rightness on the output imge with significnt contrst enhncement, they my produce imges with do not look s nturl s the input ones. The proposed work is divided into three stges. Firstly, Histogrm Equliztion is pplied to the low contrst input imge. Secondly, we re otining the imodl imge y pplying Otsu's inriztion, Thirdly, Otsu's thresholding technique is pplied to get the inry imge. The experimentl nlysis shows tht the results re etter thn the stte of the rt methods pplied. We hve shown the comprison results sujectively s well s ojectively. Sujective prmeters re visul qulity nd computtion time nd ojective prmeters re Pek signl to-noise rtio (PSNR), Men squred error (MSE nd Averge Informtion Content (AIC). Index Terms: Imge Enhncement, Otsu lgorithm, Segmenttion, Thresholding. I.Introduction Imge segmenttion is one of the most fundmentl nd difficult prolems in imge nlysis. Imge segmenttion is n importnt prt of imge processing. In computer vision, imge segmenttion is the process of prtitioning n imge into meningful regions or ojects. There re vrious pplictions of imge segmenttion like locte tumors or other pthologies, mesure tissue volume, computer-guided surgery, tretment plnning, study of ntomicl structure, locte ojects in stellite imges nd fingerprint recognition etc. Segmenttion sudivides n imge into its constituent region or oject. Imge segmenttion methods re ctegorized on the sis of two properties discontinuity nd similrity [].Bsed on this property imge segmenttion is ctegorized s Edged sed segmenttion nd region sed segmenttion. The segmenttion methods tht re sed on discontinuity property of pixels re considered s oundry or edges sed techniques. Edge sed A Snkr Reddy, IJECS Volume 6 Issue 8 August 07 Pge No Pge 96

The result is inry imge. Bsed on theory there is two min edge sed segmenttion methods, gry histogrm sed nd grdient sed method []. Region sed segmenttion prtitions n imge into regions tht re similr ccording to set of predefined criteri. The region sed segmenttion is prtitioning of n imge into similr res of connected pixels. Ech of the pixels in region is similr with respect to some chrcteristic or computed property such s color, intensity nd/or texture. Imge enhncement plys significnt role in the field of Digitl imge processing Applictions for oth humn nd computer vision. It is minly used to enhnce the pprent visul qulity of informtion contined in n imge nd mkes it esier for visul interprettion, understnding s well s imge fetures process nd nlysis y computer vision system [3]. The ojective of this method is to mke n imge clerly recognize for specific ppliction. A Visul Imge is rich in informtion, Confucius sid, "A Picture is worth Thousnd words [4] The histogrm is one of the importnt fetures which re very relted to imge enhncement. The histogrm does not only gives us generl overview on some useful imge sttistics (e.g. mode, nd dynmic rnge of n imge), ut it lso cn e used to predict the ppernce nd intensity chrcteristic of n imge. If the histogrm is concentrted on the low side of the intensity scle, the imge is mostly drk imge. On the other hnd, if the histogrm is concentrted on the high side of the scle, the imge is mostly right imge. If the histogrm hs nrrow dynmic rnge, the imge usully is n imge with poor contrst [] Histogrm equliztion is one of the well-known imge enhncement technique. It ecme populr technique for contrst enhncement ecuse this method is simple nd effective. In the ltter cse, preserving the input rightness of the imge is required to void the genertion of nonexisting rtifcts in the output imge. Although these methods preserve the input rightness on the output imge with significnt contrst enhncement, they my produce imges with do not look s nturl s the input. The sic ide of HE method is to re-mp the gry levels of n imge. HE tends to introduce some nnoying rtifcts nd unnturl enhncement. Histogrms cn lso e tken of color imges - either individul histogrm of red, green nd lue chnnels cn e tken, or 3-D histogrm cn e produced, with the three xes representing the red, lue nd green chnnels, nd rightness t ech point representing the pixel count. The exct output from the opertion depends upon the implementtion, it my simply e picture of the required histogrm in suitle imge formt, or it my e dt file of some sort representing the histogrm sttistics. Histogrm equliztion technique is commonly employed for imge enhncement ecuse of its simplicity nd comprtively etter performnce on lmost ll types of imges. The opertion of HE is performed y rempping the gry levels of the imge sed on the proility distriution of the input gry levels. It flttens nd stretches the dynmic rnge of the imge's histogrm nd resulting in overll contrst enhncement. Contrst enhncement y histogrm equliztion is one such technique. A histogrm equlized imge enhnces the hrd to perceive detils of the originl imge. Nevertheless, the originl imge contins useful informtion.

If the input imge is dominted y drk intensity pixels, the histogrm is pushed to the right side, nd thus right sturtion effect will e clerly visile. On the other hnd, if the input is dominted y right intensity pixels, the output normlly suffers from drk sturtion effect. This sturtion effect, not only degrdes the ppernce of the imge ut lso leds to informtion loss [4] II.Literture work Fng et l.

Kim [3] proposed novel extension of histogrm equliztion to overcome such drwck of the histogrm equliztion D. Rjn nd S. Chudhuri [4] presented two new techniques of using dt fusion, sed on the modlity of the dt genertion process, to generte super resolved imge from sequence of low-resolution imge intensity dt III.Relted Study A. Histogrm Equliztion Histogrm equliztion is one of the well-known enhncement techniques. Histogrm equliztion technique is commonly employed for imge enhncement ecuse of its simplicity nd comprtively etter performnce on lmost ll types of imges. In histogrm equliztion, the dynmic rnge nd contrst of n imge re modified y ltering the imge such tht its intensity histogrm hs the desired shpe. This is chieved y using cumultive distriution function s the mpping function. The intensity levels re chnged such tht the peks of the histogrm re stretched nd the troughs re compressed. The histogrm of digitl imge with gry vlues r 0, r r L- is the discrete function: nk p( rk ) n Here nk denotes the numer of pixels with gry vlue r k, n denotes the numer of pixels in the given imge. p(r k ) represents the frction of the totl numer of pixels with gry vlue r k.. The glol ppernce of the imge cn e represented y the histogrm. Histogrm equliztion (HE) results re similr to contrst stretching ut offer the dvntge of full utomtion, since HE utomticlly determines trnsformtion function to produce new imge with uniform histogrm. k n k j sk T( rk ) p n j0 j0 r ( r ) Though this method is simple, it fils in myocrdil nucler imges since the gry vlues re physiclly fr prt from ech other in the j A Snkr Reddy, IJECS Volume 6 Issue 8 August 07 Pge No Pge 98

The sic ide of thresholding is to select n optiml gry-level threshold vlue for seprting ojects of interest in n imge from the ckground sed on their gry-level distriution. While humns cn esily differentile n oject from the complex ckground nd imge thresholding is difficult tsk to seprte them. The gry-level histogrm of n imge is usully considered s efficient tools for development of imge thresholding lgorithms. Thresholding cretes inry imges from grey-level ones y turning ll pixels elow some threshold to zero nd ll pixels out tht threshold to one. If g(x, y) is threshold version of f(x, y) t some glol threshold T, it cn e defined s [], G(x, y) = { ( ) Thresholding opertion is defined s: T=M [x, y,p(x,y), f(x,y)] In this eqution, T stnds for the threshold; f (x, y) is the gry vlue of point (x, y) nd p(x, y) denotes some locl property of the point such s the verge gry vlue of the neighorhood centered on point (x, y) Bsed on this, there re two types of thresholding methods. First one is Glol thresholding, When T depends only on f (x, y) (in other words, only on gry-level vlues) nd the vlue of T solely reltes to the chrcter of pixels, this thresholding technique is clled glol thresholding. The second one is Locl thresholding if threshold T depends on f (x, y) nd p(x, y), this thresholding is clled locl thresholding. This method divides n originl imge into severl su regions nd chooses vrious thresholds T for ech su region resonly [3]. Otsu method is type of glol thresholding in which it depends on only gry vlue of the imge. Otsu method ws proposed y Scholr Otsu in 979. Otsu method is glol thresholding selection method, which is widely used ecuse it is simple nd effective [4]. The Otsu method requires computing gry level histogrm efore running. However, ecuse of the onedimensionl which only consider the gry-level informtion, it does not give etter segmenttion result. So, for tht two dimensionl Otsu lgorithms ws proposed which works on oth gry-level threshold of ech pixel s well s its Sptil correltion informtion within the neighorhood. So Otsu lgorithm cn otin stisfctory segmenttion results when it is pplied to the noisy imges [5]. Mny techniques thus were proposed to reduce time spent on computtion nd still mintin resonle thresholding results. In [6], proposed fst recursive technique tht cn efficiently reduce computtionl time. Otsu's method ws one of the etter threshold selection methods for generl rel world imges with regrd to uniformity nd shpe mesures. However, Otsu's method uses n exhustive serch to evlute the criterion for mximizing the etween-clss vrince. As the numer of clsses of imge increses, Otsu's method tkes too much time to e prcticl for multilevel threshold selection [7]. C. OTSU S Method It works sed on the very simple ide tht minimizes the weighted within-clss vrince. This turns out to e represented sme s mximizing the etween-clss vrince. Once the histogrm is constructed for the given imge, it works directly on the gry level histogrm. For exmple, for gry level imge, there is proility of 56 numers i.e. P (, where I denotes the intensity vlue. Otsu lgorithm will consider some ssumptions such s the input imge is imodl, uniform illumintion etc. The weighted within-clss vrince is computed s: A Snkr Reddy, IJECS Volume 6 Issue 8 August 07 Pge No Pge 99

If you tke ll of the pixels of n imge nd count how mny of these hve vlue 0, how mny, how mny, nd so on up to 55, you get histogrm.

To understnd the concept we hve to know out the imodl imges. An imge is set of dots tht Figure :. gry scle imge. Histogrm of () As you cn see from the Figure, histogrm is nothing more thn wy to represent the distriution of the degree of color present in n imge. From the figure, for exmple, you cn view the presence of mximum in the middle. So, in this cse, the imge is monomodl. Insted of imge imodl, once represented in the form of histogrm, will present two seprte mximum etween them (modes). For exmple, this color imge tht I hve mde y dding it of ckground noise is imodl exmple. All the experimentl results re executed in OpenCV python.

We cn oserve the imge presents two distinct modes mong them, dividing into two distinct prts the distriution of pixels in the imge. Here we hve tken n RGB color imge, first, we hve converted the RGB Color imge to Gryscle imge, nd then we hve constructed the imodl histogrm for the imge. Lter we hve pplied the Otsu's inriztion, the results re shown in Figure (d). Otsu s threshold on the imge. Results re shown in Figure 3. c d Figure :. Input imge. Gryscle imge of input imge c.

The lgorithm fils if the input imge is hving poor contrst. If the input imge is poor imge, then Otsu s results re lso hving low in qulity. In this sense, we hve pplied Glol Histogrm Equliztion on the low contrst imge, then we hve pplied the Otsu s method on the resultnt imge. We hve oserved the good results when compred to the results without pplying the Histogrm Equliztion. The results re shown in Figure 4. The poor contrsted imge is shown in Figure 4. nd the result of Histogrm Equliztion is shown in Figure 4.. It is clerly shown tht the imge which is hving some ckground noise our method cn effectively pply the threshold nd given the etter result. Consider scenrio where the given is drk.

Besides the visul results nd computtionl time, our evlution includes Entropy or Averge Informtion Contents (AIC). We hve computed the Men Squre Error nd Pek Signl Noise rtio nd Entropy for the imge to show our result ojectively. The Men Squre Error cn e computed s: MSE = ( ) ( ) The vlue of the MSE should e lwys minimum nd PSNR should e mximum for the etter results. Entropy or Averge Informtion Content is used to mesure the totl informtion in the imge. The higher vlue of Entropy indictes the richness of the detils in the output imge. A Higher vlue of the Entropy indictes tht more informtion is rought out from the imges nd it cn e computed s: AIC = - ( ) ( ) The computed vlues re MSE=43.0 nd PSNR=.96 nd entropy vlues efore nd fter pplying the method re.6 nd 0. respectively. V.Conclusion Imge segmenttion is the fundmentl pproch of digitl imge processing. Among ll the segmenttion methods, Otsu method is one of the most successful methods for imge thresholding ecuse of its simple clcultion. Otsu is n utomtic threshold selection region sed segmenttion method. We hve proposed n efficient lgorithm which consists of three steps. In the initil stge, contrst enhncement lgorithm is pplied to produce qulity imge. Next, we hve constructed imodl imge for the resultnt imge. Finlly, we hve pplied the Otsu's inriztion on the resultnt imge. The comprison results show the etter results thn the DOI: /ijecs/v6i8. existing method. In this pper, we hve considered the Histogrm Equliztion for the contrst enhncement. There re other vritions of Histogrm equliztion methods re lso pplied to get the etter results, which is considered s future work. References []. Rfel C. Gonzlez, Richrd E.
