Color Thresholder

Threshold color image

Description

The Color Thresholder app lets you segment color images by thresholding the color channels based on different color spaces. Using this app, you can create a binary segmentation mask for a color image.

Color Thresholder supports segmentation in four color spaces. In each color space, the app displays the image, the three color channels, and the color value of all pixels as points in a 3-D color space plot. You can select the colors included in the mask by windowing the color channel values or by drawing an ROI in the image or 3-D color space plot. For an example of using the app, see Segment Image and Create Mask Using Color Thresholder.
