Threshold segmentation

After performing the edge-detection and threshold segmentation to the original grayscale frame. 

The aim of defect segmentation is to delimit the detected defect as precise as possible from the background which surrounds the defect (fig. 8). The extracted characteristics of a detected casting defect depend considerable on the threshold value which is used during the defect segmentation. 

Manual thresholding by detecting peaks of matrix diagonal (4) to segment X-Rays images. 

Automatic thresholding by dividing the matrix in several blocks to segment B-Scan images. 

Automatic Methods with the help of appropriate algorithms permit the calculation of the threshold to segment ultrasonic images. It is this work, this method has been adopted. 

Figure 7.6 shows the relationship between the meehanieal threshold and the separation between pinning points for dislocation segments. The mechanical yield strength is controlled by the largest separation, Hence, behind... 

Deputy Surgeon General L. H. Gehrig spoke frankly Some maintain that a large segment of the population is already perilously close to the threshold of lead toxicity as a result of environmental exposure others take an almost diametrically opposed position. He also conceded that across the entire range of environmental health problems, we are making a rather belated start. Until the conference, the USPHS had focused on hydrocarbons and sulfur dioxide and rarely referred to tetraethyl lead as a pollution problem. 

Both clinical and sub-clinical mastitis are usually accompanied by an increase in the somatic cell count (SCC a measure of white blood cells (95%) such as macrophages, segmented neutrophil granulocytes or lymphocytes) in milk. SCCs above a certain level are an indication of immune-system activation and are used as an indicator of sub-clinical , latent or chronic udder infections/mastitis (Concha, 1986 Ostensson et al., 1988), which were shown to affect milk quality, composition and shelf life. Dairy companies therefore impose SCC thresholds or reduce payments to farmers if certain thresholds are exceeded (Hamann, 2001 Urech et al., 1999).
