How to threshold a circular symmetric gaussian kernel filter?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Two matched-filters, tuned to objects of different sizes, are applied to the tophat image, each of which are thresholded separately and combined using a binary OR operation.
The above said is a step explained in a paper I am referring currently. Here the matched filters used are Circular symmetric Gaussian, kernel ,width= 17 (pixels), sigma = 2.38 (pixels)and Circular symmetric Gaussian, kernel width= 13 (pixels), sigma = 1.5 (pixels). I created the filters using the function 'fspecial' and filtered it using 'imfilter'. Can anyone explain what does 'thresholded separately' means here.
Thanks in advance

You apply one filter to the image, then threshold it to get binaryImage1. Then you apply the second filter and threshold it to get binaryImage2.

Sir, in the paper to find the threshold value the following steps are done: i) The second moment of pixel values within the matched filter image are found ii) then threshold is given by T=5.25*sqrt(moment)
But when I calculated the moment I got a matrix. But the threshold value should be a single value. Can we use the function 'moment' to calculate moment of an image?

Yes of course:
binaryImage = momentMatrix > T;
but if the moment is a matrix, then sqrt(moment) will also be a matrix!
