Abstract: A segmentation method on the sonar image of a small underwater target is proposed. In this method, the gray-level threshold for segmentation is acquired via the minimum symmetric Tsallis cross entropy that is based on one-dimensional bound histogram. In this method, first, the speckle noise of the sonar image is suppressed. Second, the bound set is constructed according to the restriction in the gray-level values of both pixels and their neighborhood averages, and the one-dimensional bound histogram corresponding to that bound set is established. Third, the gray-level threshold for segmentation is determined according to the minimum symmetric Tsallis cross entropy based on the one-dimensional bound histogram. Finally, the isolated areas in the threshold image are removed. Experimental results show that the proposed method is well adequate for the images with a nonideal bimodal histogram; it has better antinoise performance than the existing methods based on the entropy of the one-dimensional bound histogram.
