Global Threshold Method and Apparatus

Thresholding or binarization of images is an important step in image processing applications that uses different criteria to separate foreground objects from the background. This invention describes a novel weight based clustering algorithm, a real-t ime single pass global thresholder suitable for images (including trimodal and low contrast) with a single chip realization. The values are:

1.No external memory storage required; parameters easily modified to suit other applications. 2.Simple l ogic blocks used; ease of use; considerable savings in costs, effort and time.

Applications exist in image processing, a fast growing area owing to the increasing influence of electronics, computers, communications and the Internet on different w alks of our life.
