To select a suitable threshold requires some criteria on which to base the selection. A criterion of maximum fuzzy entropy is developed for selecting the threshold. In this algorithm, the degree of ambiguity in an image is measured by the entropy of a fuzzy set. The threshold is selected by maximizing the fuzzy entropy of the image. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated for different bandwidths of the membership functions using noisy and vague microscopic-slide breast cancer images. The results show that this method is useful for breast cancer detection. Moreover, this method can be applied to a wide range of image processing applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100668,"journal":{"name":"Information Sciences - Applications","volume":"4 1","pages":"Pages 49-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/1069-0115(94)00019-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75566880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first stage of the identification system, an image of the product is obtained, and the region containing the label is segmented from the rest of the image. Preprocessing operations are performed to extract the region of interest from the segmented image. Normalized and preprocessed images of the labels are compressed using a fully-connected back-propagation autoencoder network.
