The concept of entropy as a measure of information has been extensively applied in information theory and related fields. The complex nature of information has resulted in some proposed entropy definitions. In image processing, the entropy concept has been used in developing thresholding techniques based on maximum entropy principles for image segmentation, enhancement and object detection purposes. In this article, entropy definitions are analysed to establish their relationship and after that evaluate their performance in image thresholding. Static simulated data from Electrical Capacitance Tomography measurement system for annular and stratified flows in multiphase hydrocarbons production has been used. Performance evaluation results of thresholding algorithms using Renyi entropy has shown to improve the measurements, particularly for stratified flow regimes. The improvement is solely based on the entropy definition, and it has been observed the introduced controlling parameters do not affect its performance. Renyi entropic thresholding algorithm is relatively robust as it is independent of the controlling parameter q and the grey level resolution. Therefore, there is the potential possibility of using Renyi entropic thresholding to improve measurements in hydrocarbons flow measurement using Electrical Capacitance Tomography measurement system.
