Abstract

Entropy of order q (depending on the information contained in a sequence of gray levels of length q) and the conditional entropy of an image are defined. The existing definition of global entropy is found to be its special case when q = 1. Using these definitions, two algorithms for image thresholding (object-background classification) are formulated and implemented with the help of its co-occurrence matrix. The superiority of these algorithms is experimentally demonstrated for a set of images.
