It extracts image grayscale wave curve in the horizontal and vertical direction, and iteratively searches for larger scale peaks point and troughs point of each curve to meet a given wave amplitude threshold; then, between each pair of alternating peaks or troughs to calculate floating threshold is used to designate the target and background pixels attribution; it takes the intersection of threshold image in two directions to obtain the final segmented image. Experimental results demonstrate that segmentation results and real-time of this method have significantly improved, compared with 2-D Otsu method, 2-D Tsallis entropy method, Niblack method and several algorithms. %U http://cea.ceaj.org/EN/abstract/article_33347.shtml
