2.6.8.17. Histogram segmentation

This example does simple histogram analysis to perform segmentation.

import numpy as np
import scipy as sp
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

rng = np.random.default_rng(27446968)
n = 10
l = 256
im = np.zeros((l, l))
points = l * rng.random((2, n**2))
im[(points[0]).astype(int), (points[1]).astype(int)] = 1
im = sp.ndimage.gaussian_filter(im, sigma=l / (4.0 * n))

mask = (im > im.mean()).astype(float)

mask += 0.1 * im

img = mask + 0.2 * rng.normal(size=mask.shape)

hist, bin_edges = np.histogram(img, bins=60)
bin_centers = 0.5 * (bin_edges[:-1] + bin_edges[1:])

binary_img = img > 0.5

plt.figure(figsize=(11, 4))
