Improving Minimum Cross-Entropy Thresholding for Segmentation of Infected Foregrounds in Medical Images Based on Mean Filters Approaches

Algorithm 1

MCET using harmonic mean filters approach.

(1)	Read input image (, )
(2)	Compute the histogram h(i), i = 0, …., 255 for (, )
(3)	for t = 2:254 do
(4)	Compute and using equation (17)
(5)	Compute the n(t) in equation (4)
(6)	Find the optimal that minimizes n(t)
(7)	End for
(8)	return
(9)	Output image
	For other mean filters approaches: compute and according to their equations
