How to apply a different b/w threshold to each row of the image?

3 visualizaciones (últimos 30 días)
Hi,
I would convert an image from grayscale to black-and-white using the im2bw function, and I need to apply a different threshold to each row of the image. Which is the most efficient way to do this? Is there a way to avoid the "for" cycle?
Thank you very much.

Hello, do you still have the code of for and loop?

Roman, it would be something like
[rows, columns, numberOfColorChannels] = size(theImage);
binaryImage = false(rows, columns);
for row = 1 : rows
% Get the threshold for this row - however you do it (I don't know).
thisThreshold = whatever;
% Now threshold/binarize the image for this row only.
binaryImage(row, :) = theImage(row, :) > thisThreshold;
end

Depending on the input type of your image, you may be able to just do a simple thresholding operation (as below), otherwise you'll have to delve a little deeper into image processing.
asdf=imread('example.tif');
figure,imshow(asdf)
zxcv=rgb2gray(asdf);
figure,imshow(zxcv)
thresh=[50*ones(325,1);150*ones(325,1)]; %here you set the threshold for each row
threshMatrix=repmat(thresh,1,600);
BW=zxcv>threshMatrix;
figure,imshow(BW)

Thank you very much for your answer, it may be a good way. I'll compare this with the for loop.

You're right. The execution time with your solution is about 1.6 seconds, instead using im2bw and the for loop it is about 5.1 seconds. Very good idea, thank you again.

No, you'll have to use a for loop. It's not a problem though. It will be very fast. No need to worry about for loops that are only a few thousand iterations.
Why do you need a different threshold for each row anyway?
You might be able to use a different function. There are new binarization functions. See Steve's blog:

OK. I have a nice manual/interactive thresholding utility in my File Exchange if you're interested: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/29372-thresholding-an-image

I'll try it, thank you!
