After implementing a version of the Ohlander segmentation technique, Shafer proposed and implemented a variation that used the type of regions generated by the various possible threshold to determine the optimal threshold. This method applied all reasonable thresholds, as determined by analyzing the histograms, and chose the set of regions which were the most compact and had the clearest borders. This is based on the observation that, often, several histograms have peaks that correspond to the same regions, but one may give a more precise split than another even when its peak is not as clear according to the given criteria.

Computed the eigenvectors for a number of sample images to find optimal weights for the transforms for segmentation. The first is close to just an average of the 3 ((R+G+B)/3). The others are: I2=(R-B)/2 (or (B-R)/2); and I3=(2G -R -B)/4. This linear transform generates results similar to dynamic Karhunev Loeve transformation of RGB. BibRef
