One of the key features of binarization is converting grey scale images into black and white (0 and 1). What&#8217;s more, binarization provides sharper and clearer contours of various objects present in the image. This feature extraction improves the learning of AI models.<\/p>\n<p>In the process of image binarization a threshold value is chosen, and all pixels with values above this threshold are classified as white, and all other pixels as black. The problem then is how to select the correct threshold (otherwise referred to as a thresholding method).<\/p>\n<p>One can see that binarization takes an image with foreground\/background and returns the binary image. It discards the background noise and gives the contour of the image in the foreground.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Steps involved in Image Binarization<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The \u2018imager &#8216; package uses the K-means method to automatically identify the threshold for an image and this method is equivalent to globally optimal version of popular Otsu\u2019s method. It is very important to know that an incorrect threshold value can result in distorted binary images, where parts of the object could be missing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do We Need Binarization?
