Automatic attribute threshold selection for morphological connected attribute filters

作者:

Highlights:

• Attribute filters enhance and extract features without distorting borders.

• Visual image inspection is labor intensive, can be inaccurate and irreproducible.

• Automatic shape quantification attempts to agree with human intuition.

• Methods for automatic computation of attribute thresholds can be simple and fast.

• The choice of a technique for classification appears to depend on the imaging mode.
