The student may perform a histogramto see the distribution of the grey levels to determine a good threshold value. In Figure 2 (b)the histogram of the image is shown. The values range from 0 to 255. The student may trydifferent values and see the result. In Figure 3 (a) the image with a threshold of 128 is shown.The student can see that there is some background grey areas that were darker than thethreshold value of 128 which means it had a value less than the threshold. The student maythe try a smaller value. In Figure 3 (b) the image with a threshold of 96 is shown

Introduction Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) students have a need to be able todesign and build systems with embedded microprocessors. They also need to be able tobecome familiar with different processors. There are many different ways to teachmicroprocessors and their applications. The objective, in this case, is to have the studentsdesign and develop a system using a microprocessor they have not seen before. In thisway
