There might note be really a way of doing this...

Is it correct to rephrase your request as:

"I'm looking for the number of bins that will produce a histogram without
empty bins"  ?

An alternative here might be to smooth the histogram.

You can treat the histogram as a 1-D image, and
apply itk image smoothing filters to it.

We might not be understanding correctly what you are trying to do.

Maybe a diagram or an image could help.

   Thanks
