OtsuThresholdCommand Class

Summary
Performs image segmentation and color reduction using Otsu clustering on grayscale images.
Syntax

public class OtsuThresholdCommand : RasterCommand

class OtsuThresholdCommand(RasterCommand): 
Remarks
  • This command works only with grayscale images. If the input image is colored it will be converted to a grayscale image.
  • Otsu clustering is performed by making each cluster as compact as possible so as to minimize overlap. If one adjusts a threshold one way, the spread of one cluster gets larger and the spread for the second cluster gets smaller. Different threshold values are tried until the one is found which produces the minimum combined spread.
  • Otsu thresholding is typically used as a way to binarize an image. It is best when used on an image that has a bimodal histogram (Clusters = 2).
  • This command supports 8, 16-bit grayscale images and 24, 32-bit colored images. Support for 16-bit grayscale is available in the Document/Medical Imaging toolkits.
  • This command supports signed/unsigned images.

   //Load an image 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, @"ImageProcessingDemo\NaturalFruits.jpg")); 
 
   //Prepare the command 
   OtsuThresholdCommand command = new OtsuThresholdCommand();
