Thresholding is an important and effective step in almost all areas of image processing. It is a main tool in pattern recognition, image segmentation, edge detection and scene analysis. In this book, we talk about different applications of thresholding such as: acoustic signal processing, muscle activity detection in EMG signal analysis, optical character recognition and character image extraction, image thresholding of historical documents, color applications, non destructive testing applications,forest fire detection, medical imaging, biometric application, satellite imaging, and object...

Edge detection is an important field in image processing. It can be used in many applications such as segmentation, registration, feature extraction, and identification of objects in a scene. This book deals with the different types of applications of edge detection in real life. It presents the different methods of edge detection, such as classical methods, multi-resolution methods, nonlinear methods, wavelet based methods, statistical methods, machine learning based methods, contextual methods, line edge detectors, and coloured edges methods. In addition, it presents various techniques of...
