Unimodal thresholding


Unimodal thresholding is an algorithm for automatic image threshold selection in image processing. Most threshold selection algorithms assume that the intensity histogram is multi-modal; typically bimodal. However, some types of images are essentially unimodal since a much larger proportion of just one class of pixels is present in the image, and dominates the histogram. In such circumstances many of the standard threshold selection algorithms will fail. However, a few algorithms have been designed to specifically cope with such images.
