Practical: Colour segmentation and thresholding

A practical on colour and grayscale thresholding using Fiji / ImageJ

Colour thresholding in Fiji. The left panel is the original image of red seeds on a blue background. The middle panel has histograms of Hue, Saturation and Value, and the right panel has the segmented image of black seeds on a whote background.

This practical gives you an opportunity to try out image thresholding on both colour and grayscale images, as described in the preceding videos.
