TL;DR
A computationally efficient solution to the problem of minimum error thresholding is derived under the assumption of object and pixel grey level values being normally distributed and is applicable in multithreshold selection.

From an analysis point of view an image can be considered as a two-dimensional area of picture elements (pixels), each of which is characterized by a gray level, which are assumed to represent the radiant energy of some electromagnetic spectral range.

The threshold selection method of N. Otsu (ibid., vol.SMC-9, p.62-6, 1979) is shown to break down for a certain range of object-to-background pixel population ratios.

A novel method based on image statistics which can be computed without histogramming the grey level values of the image is proposed, which is shown to be effective on a number of practical examples.

An adaptive quantization scheme, based on histogram peak sharpening, was applied to two of the images; the results do not seem to be as good as those obtained using variable thresholding.
