Choosing the correct way (out of many)

We have hinted at this practice briefly when we learned about thresholding. How an image processing application handles and processes its image data heavily depends on the problems it is supposed to solve, and what kind of data will be fed to it. Therefore, there is significant variability when it comes to choosing specific parameters when processing your image.

For example, as we have seen earlier, there are various ways to threshold an image, and each will result in very different output: if you want to focus on only the large, distinct regions of an image, simple constant thresholding will prove to be more beneficial than adaptive thresholding; if, however, you want to highlight small changes in the ...
