Image segmentation is a key technology in image processing, and threshold segmentation is one of the methods used frequently. Aimed at that only one threshold or several thresholds are set in traditional threshold-based segmentation algorithm, it is difficult to extract the complex information in an image, a new segmentation algorithm that each pixel in the image has its own threshold is proposed. In this algorithm, the threshold of a pixel in an image is estimated by calculating the mean of the grayscale values of its neighbor pixels, and the square variance of the grayscale values of the neighbor pixels are also calculated as an additional judge condition, so that the result of the proposed algorithm is the edge of the image. In fact the proposed algorithm is equal to an edge detector in image processing. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm could produce precise image edge, while it is reasonable to estimate the threshold of a pixel through the statistical information of its neighbor pixels.

Deep network-based hashing has gained significant popularity in recent years, particularly in the field of image retrieval. However, most existing methods only focus on extracting semantic information from the final layer, disregarding valuable structural information that contains important semantic details, which are crucial for effective hash learning. On the one hand, structural information is important for capturing the spatial relationships between objects in an image. On the other hand, image retrieval tasks often require a more holistic representation of the image, which can be achieved by focusing on the semantic content. The trade-off between structural information and image retrieval accuracy in the context of image hashing and retrieval is a crucial consideration. Balancing these aspects is essential to ensure both accurate retrieval results and meaningful representation of the underlying image structure. To address this limitation and improve image retrieval accuracy, we propose a novel deep hashing method called Deep Supervised Hashing by Fusing Multiscale Deep Features (DSHFMDF). Our approach involves extracting multiscale features from multiple convolutional layers and fusing them to generate more robust representations for efficient image retrieval. The experimental results demonstrate that our method surpasses the performance of state-of-the-art hashing techniques, with absolute increases of 11.1% and 8.3% in Mean Average Precision (MAP) on the CIFAR-10 and NUS-WIDE datasets, respectively.
