thresholdthresholdThresholdThresholdthreshold (Operator)

Name

thresholdthresholdThresholdThresholdthreshold — Segment an image using global threshold.

Signature

Description

thresholdthresholdThresholdThresholdThresholdthreshold selects the pixels from the input image whose gray values g fulfill the following condition:

All points of an image fulfilling the condition are returned as one region. If more than one gray value interval is passed (tuples for MinGrayMinGrayMinGrayMinGrayminGraymin_gray and MaxGrayMaxGrayMaxGrayMaxGraymaxGraymax_gray), one separate region is returned for each interval. For vector field images, the threshold is not applied to gray values but to the lengths of the vectors. The parameters MinGrayMinGrayMinGrayMinGrayminGraymin_gray and MaxGrayMaxGrayMaxGrayMaxGraymaxGraymax_gray can be set to 'min'"min""min""min""min""min" or 'max'"max""max""max""max""max" in order to leave bottom and top limits, respectively, open.

Attention

For input images of an integer type, floating point values in MinGrayMinGrayMinGrayMinGrayminGraymin_gray and MaxGrayMaxGrayMaxGrayMaxGraymaxGraymax_gray are truncated.

Execution Information

• Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
• Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
• Automatically parallelized on tuple level.
• Automatically parallelized on internal data level.

Complexity

Let A be the area of the input region. Then the runtime complexity is O(A).

Result

thresholdthresholdThresholdThresholdThresholdthreshold returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if all parameters are correct. The behavior with respect to the input images and output regions can be determined by setting the values of the flags 'no_object_result'"no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result", 'empty_region_result'"empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result", and 'store_empty_region'"store_empty_region""store_empty_region""store_empty_region""store_empty_region""store_empty_region" with set_systemset_systemSetSystemSetSystemSetSystemset_system. If necessary, an exception is raised.
