Description

edit

This step intends to separate the objects to track from the background. The background will become black, while the objects to track will appear in white. Most of the time, this step follows a preprocessing method like background subtraction.

Input

edit

 

A grayscale image.

Output

edit

 

A binary (black and white) image.

Parameters

edit

Threshold

edit

A threshold value (between 0 and 256). If the objects to track don't appear in the image, try to reduce the value. If parts of the background become white, the value need to be increased.

Invert threshold

edit

Whether the threshold must be inverted or not.
