Cross entropy measures information discrepancy between two probability distributions.Induced by cross entropy
fuzzy divergence measures dissimilarity between two fuzzy sets
as fruit of both information theory and fuzzy set theory
In this paper
in the light of different criteria we present four new algorithms of optimal gray scale threshold selection for image segmentation
integrating cross entropy and fuzzy divergence with image histogram.The first algorithm is based on minimum cross entropy with the hypothesis of uniform probability distribution. The second algorithm maximizes between classcross entropy using posterior probability.The third one is a modified version of existing method based on maximum betweenclass fuzzy divergence.The last one is a minimum fuzzy divergence algorithm.According to the requirement of image thresholding
we construct a new fuzzy membership function in the last two algorithms.The effectiveness and generality of our new algorithms are shown by applying them to various test images and by evaluating the results with uniformity measure and shape measure.
