Detailed Description

template<typename TInputHistogram>
class itk::OtsuMultipleThresholdsCalculator< TInputHistogram >

Computes Otsu's multiple thresholds for a histogram.

You plug in the target histogram using SetInputHistogram method and specify the number of thresholds you want to be computed. Then call the Compute() method to run the algorithm.

The thresholds are computed so that the between-class variance is maximized.

This calculator also includes an option to use the valley emphasis algorithm from H.F. Ng, "Automatic thresholding for defect detection", Pattern Recognition Letters, (27): 1644-1649, 2006. The valley emphasis algorithm is particularly effective when the object to be thresholded is small. See the following tests for examples: itkOtsuMultipleThresholdsImageFilterTest3 and itkOtsuMultipleThresholdsImageFilterTest4 To use this algorithm, simple call the setter: SetValleyEmphasis(true) It is turned off by default.
