THRESHOLDING [7 records]

Record 1 2025-08-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Imaging
CONT

A technique that uses the concept of thresholding to limit the displayed volumetric data. The threshold allows the user to select the range of pixel values rendered in the 3D model. For example, a higher bone threshold... can be chosen to build a skeletal model of the patient's skull. Decreasing the threshold to include voxels with soft tissue attenuation values results in a 3D model with the patient's skin intact.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Imagerie médicale
CONT

Le rendu de surface est une technique qui permet de représenter, en volume, la surface de structures anatomiques regroupant des voxels d'intensité proche.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Radiación (Medicina)
CONT

En las técnicas de renderización de superficies primero se extraen las superficies de las estructuras que se desean visualizar.

Record 2 2025-02-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Imaging
CONT

Volume rendering(VR) adjusts the opacity of voxels included in the 3D model according to their tissue characteristics. Unlike the thresholding concept used for SSD [shaded-surface display] rendering, volume rendering does not exclude voxels, but instead alters their appearance so that the 3D model contains the entire volume dataset.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Imagerie médicale
DEF

Technique de post-traitement des données 3D qui fournit des renseignements sur l'ensemble des données volumiques et non seulement sur les données de surface.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Radiación (Medicina)
CONT

En el presente trabajo se estudiaron e implementaron métodos de renderización volumétrica y funciones de transferencia para la visualización de conjuntos de datos médicos.

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Modelling (Mathematics)
  • Ecosystems
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

... the application of conventional mathematics and biology may be of limited utility in understanding the dynamics of... complex ecosystems. The typical reductionist approach to aquatic ecosystem analysis is the top-down approach. Equational models(top-down attemps at approximating nature) are subject to many limitations... In general, equational models are not good at dealing with highly nonlinear effects, such as thresholding or if-then-else conditionals, which occur in behavioral and ecological studies.

Record 4 2006-11-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
  • Applications of Automation
  • Computer Graphics
DEF

A procedure of binarization of an image by segmenting it to black and white regions (represented by ones and zeroes). The gray level of each pixel is compared to a threshold value and then set to 0 or 1 so that binary image analysis can then be performed.

OBS

thresholding : term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group(RTAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
  • Automatisation et applications
  • Infographie
DEF

Technique utilisée pour la perception des images numériques; elle consiste à mettre un niveau dans l'échelle de gris, au-dessus, les pixels seront perçus comme blancs, au-dessous, les pixels seront perçus comme noirs.

CONT

[...] la comparaison effectuée entre la valeur d'un élément, par exemple l'intensité d'un pixel, et une valeur de référence se dénomme le seuillage [...]

OBS

seuillage : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Record 5 2002-03-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A binary mask amounts to thresholding to zero at the maximum gray level for part of the picture, without any thresholding on the rest.

OBS

binary mask: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-II official approval Group (ROAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
DEF

Méthode de seuillage des niveaux de gris servant à diviser une image en deux classes.

OBS

masque binaire : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-II (GTTR).

DEF

A scene-segmentation process based on converting a gray-scale image into a binary image by reassigning pixel gray levels to only two values. [ISO/IEC JTC N1746, 1995]

OBS

Contrast with scene thresholding.
