Abstract

One of the problems in image processingis finding an appropriate threshold in orderto convert an image to a binary one. In this paperwe introduce a new method for image thresholding.We use reinforcement learning as an effective way tofind the optimal threshold. Q(驴) is implemented as alearning algorithm to achieve more accurate results.The reinforcement agent uses objective rewards toexplore/exploit the solution space. It means thatthere is not any experienced operator involved andthe reward and punishment function must be definedfor the agent. The results show that this methodworks successfully and can be trained for any particularapplication.
