A Fast Histogram Estimation Based on the Monte Carlo Method for Image Binarization

In the paper the idea of fast histogram estimation is proposed which is based on the application of the Monte Carlo method. Presented method can be useful for fast image binarization especially for low computational efficiency solutions e.g. autonomous mobile robots. Proposed method has been compared with full image analysis and the obtained estimates have been used for threshold determination and binarization using well-known Otsu method.
