Adaptive threshold filter

Introduction.

Used instruments: Adaptive threshold filter.

Objects of research: half-hue image of blood particles (Greyscale_picture.jpeg).

Task: to conduct a transformation of half-hue image into binary image.
 
NOTE: Tutorial does not contain the information on all the possibilities of the application. Here the optimal way of solving the task set is offered.
 

Step 1. Launch of the application

Launch the Altami Studio application. In order to launch the application, use the Altami Studio shortcut at the workbench or the menu item Start→Programs→Altami Ltd→Altami Studio 3.0. Besides, the application can be launched from the folder where the application was installed (usually it is C:\Program Files\Altami Ltd\Altami Studio 3.0\).
 

Step 2. Opening the file

In Altami Studio application open the file with the image, in order to do that use the menu item File→Open and select the Greyscale_picture.jpeg. It is in Tutorials\Pictures folder which is in the main folder of the application. Click the Open button.
 
The following image shall appear in the application window:

Step 3. Adding the Adaptive threshold filter to the document

In order to use the Adaptive thresholdfilter, use the Filters panel through the Filters→Filters menu.

Leave the value of the newValue parameter as 255 by default.

Leave the value of the threshOperation parameter defined by default, that means, as threshBinary.

Define the value of the blockSize as 150, as it is shown in the image 6.
