threshold_kapur — SEGMENTATION threshold op

• Data kinds: image2d → table

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.threshold_kapur(image, *, nbins: 'int' = 256) -> 'Dict[str, object]' (to call the implementation directly, import seggraph; seggraph.threshold_kapur(image, *, nbins: 'int' = 256) -> 'Dict[str, object]'; from the registry, opssegmentation.get("threshold_kapur"))

Usage

Maximum-entropy threshold (Kapur–Sahoo–Wong 1985): the bin t that maximises H(t) = −Σ_(i ≤ t) (p_i/P1) ln(p_i/P1) − Σ_(i > t) (p_i/P2) ln(p_i/P2) (only bins where both sides have positive probability). Returns: `threshold = upper edge of that bin, mask (bin index > t), bin, entropy` (H, nan for excluded bins) (threshold_kapur).
