A number of thresholding techniques are outlined and their performance on a number of thermal images is investigated. The thresholding techniques are evaluated on images in various ambient conditions and it is shown that a minimum error thresholding technique is the most effective.enUnderground mine vehiclesPedestrian detection systemMine thermal imagesUnderground mine tunnelsThermal imagingPedestrian detectionThresholdingConference PresentationDickens, J., & Green, J.
