Q

list the following steps for basic thresholding in order:

  1. select an initial estimate for the global threshold (T)
  2. segment the image using T, producing two groups of pixels G1 and G2 on either side of T
  3. compute a new threshold value, based off the averages of G1 and G2 intensity values. repeat until the T value is smaller than the predefined deltaT value
  4. compute the average intensity value of G1 and G2 respectively

Q

true or false: the predetermined deltaT value in global thresholding is used to control the number of iterations in situations where speed is an important issue. in general, a larger deltaT, the more iterations the algorithm will perform

A

false: larger deltaT = LESS iterations. logically, the difference between the computed T should get smaller and smaller each time
