Implements lis minimum cross entropy thresholding method based on the iterative version 2nd reference below of the algorithm. Thus, in this type of thresholding, the value of threshold t depends solely on the property of the pixel and the grey level value of the image. For example, if a is a matrix, then max a, 1 2 computes the maximum over all elements in a, since every element. The algorithm is based on fuzzy partition of the image histogram, and optimization of the defined fuzzy entropy measure by differential evolution to obtain the optimal thresholds.
