Why Threshold an Image?

Example Image of Threshold Filter Tool

Simplification

Complex images need to be reduced to a basic representation for further analysis. For example, in OCR (Optical Character Recognition), thresholding simplifies a scanned document, facilitating text extraction.

Noise Reduction

Images containing noise or unwanted variations in intensity can benefit from thresholding, which can effectively filter out these variations.

Can I threshold a color image?

Yes, color images can be thresholded, but it's typically done by converting the image to grayscale first.

What challenges can arise with thresholding?

Poor lighting, shadows, or complex backgrounds can complicate the thresholding process, leading to incorrect segmentation. Adjusting techniques or pre-processing the image can help mitigate these issues.
