Thresholding

Thresholding is used to create a binary image from a grayscale image [1]_.

# We illustrate how to apply one of these thresholding algorithms.
# This example uses the mean value of pixel intensities. It is a simple
# and naive threshold value, which is sometimes used as a guess value.

# If you are not familiar with the details of the different algorithms and the
# underlying assumptions, it is often difficult to know which algorithm will give
# the best results. Therefore, Scikit-image includes a function to evaluate
# thresholding algorithms provided by the library. At a glance, you can select
# the best algorithm for you data without a deep understanding of their
# mechanisms.
