Otsu's method: Regions, Otsu's method & Limitations and variations

In computer vision and image processing, Otsu's method, named after Nobuyuki Otsu (大津展之, Ōtsu Nobuyuki), is used to perform automatic image thresholding. In the simplest form, the algorithm returns a single intensity threshold that separate pixels into two classes – foreground and background. This threshold is determined by minimizing intra-class…
