QUESTIONS??
Thresholding
Threshold - 80% of between the minimum and
maximum gray scale values. Normalized value of 1 to pixel above threshold and 0 to one below threshold.
Filtering
7x7 Median filter for noise rejection Replaces each pixel value by the median of its
Invariant Moments
The (p+q)th moment of an object f(x,y) is : The center of gravity of the object is specified by:
