In this paper a new approach to create an adaptive threshold surface is proposed to segment an image. The technique is inspired by the Yanowitz's method and is improved upon by the introduction of a simpler and more accurate threshold surface. The method is tested on several images of different patterns with varying illumination and the results are compared to the ones produced by a number of adaptive thresholding algorithms. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness, the proposed method had been implemented in medical and document images. The proposed method compares favorably against those using watershed and morphology in medical image and favorably against variable threshold and adaptive Otsu's N-thresholding for document image. 2014-04-30T04:43:27Z 2014-04-30T04:43:27Z 2013 Article Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation, vol. 24(7), 2013, pages 926-936 1047-3203 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1047320313001144 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/34190 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jvcir.2013.06.001 en Elsevier Ltd.
