description Computer vision plays an important role in the accurate foreground detection of medical images. Diagnosing diseases in their early stages has effective life-saving potential, and this is every physician’s goal. There is a positive relationship between improving image segmentation methods and precise diagnosis in medical images. This relation provides a profound indication for feature extraction in a segmented image, such that an accurate separation occurs between the foreground and the background. There are many thresholding-based segmentation methods found under the pure image processing approach. Minimum cross entropy thresholding (MCET) is one of the frequently used mean-based thresholding methods for medical image segmentation. In this paper, the aim was to boost the efficiency of MCET, based on heterogeneous mean filter approaches. The proposed model estimates an optimized mean by excluding the negative influence of noise, local outliers, and gray intensity levels; thus, obtaining new mean values for the MCET’s objective function. The proposed model was examined compared to the original and related methods, using three types of medical image dataset. It was able to show accurate results based on the performance measures, using the benchmark of unsupervised and supervised evaluation.
