Examples for developers
-----------------------
In this folder, we have examples for advanced topics, including detailed
explanations of the inner workings of certain algorithms.

These examples require some basic knowledge of image processing. They are
targeted at existing or would-be scikit-image developers wishing to develop
their knowledge of image processing algorithms.

They proposed that minimizing the cross-entropy between the foreground and the foreground mean, and the background and the background mean, would give the best threshold in most situations.">
