Name

thresMinErrCrit - minimum error threshold, criterion function method

Syntax

 #include <xite/threshold.h>

 int thresMinErrCrit( histogram h );

Description

thresMinErrCrit calculates the threshold value by using the minimum error thresholding technique as in Kittler & Illingworth (1nd method).

The threshold is found by finding the minimum of the criterion function (15) in Kittler & Illingworth. The variances are the variances above and belov the treshold.

The actual thresholding is not performed, see the routine "threshold".

Return value

The threshold value. Pixel values up to, and including, the return value, is below the threshold.
