title = "Quasi-global oppositional fuzzy thresholding",
abstract = "Opposition-based computing is the paradigm for incorporating entities along with their opposites within the search, optimization and learning mechanisms. In this work, we introduce the notion of {"}opposite fuzzy sets{"} in order to use the entropy difference between a fuzzy set and its opposite to carry out object discrimination in digital images. A quasi-global scheme is used to execute the calculations, which can be employed by any other existing thresholding technique. Results for prostate ultrasound images have been provided to verify the performance whereas expert's markings have been used as gold standard.",
