In this paper, a thresholding technique suitable for noisy background images is proposed. The proposed algorithm uses an improved co-occurrence matrix as feature spaces. The threshold value is obtained by maximizing the relative entropy. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other thresholding techniques especially on the presences of noise in the background of the input image.
