Histogram segmentation

This example does simple histogram analysis to perform segmentation.

Python source code: plot_histo_segmentation.py

import numpy as np
from scipy import ndimage
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

np.random.seed(1)
n = 10
l = 256
im = np.zeros((l, l))
points = l*np.random.random((2, n**2))
im[(points[0]).astype(np.int), (points[1]).astype(np.int)] = 1
im = ndimage.gaussian_filter(im, sigma=l/(4.*n))

mask = (im > im.mean()).astype(np.float)

mask += 0.1 * im

img = mask + 0.2*np.random.randn(*mask.shape)

hist, bin_edges = np.histogram(img, bins=60)
bin_centers = 0.5*(bin_edges[:-1] + bin_edges[1:])
