The image enhancement techniques have been widely used to improve the quality of images with respect to human visual appearance, contrast and provide the better transform representation for future automated image processing. Image segmentation is the process of partitioning a 2D digital image into multiple segments. Different image segmentation techniques are available and they are mainly focused on representation of an image into more significant and easier to analyze. The quality of segmentation results are evaluated using PSNR and MSE values. Histogram equalization is used for image enhancement that improves the contrast in an image, in order to stretch out the intensity range. This method is useful in images with backgrounds and foregrounds that are both bright or both dark. However Histogram Equalization suffers from poor contrast and with noise. In the present work, a novel Multi-Level Threshold based algorithm for image segmentation is proposed. The main objective of proposed method is to reduce uneven contrast, unwanted noise, and unnecessary effects.
