Abstract
Pixels of an image are classified (e.g., into foreground and background pixels). In a set of possible values for the pixels, each value is able to serve as a threshold for classifying the pixels. From among the set, a value is selected for the threshold that causes the classification of the pixels to emphasize a characteristic of the image.
