Please be careful with the Otsu algorithm, because we use only one threshold value for whole image.
No method is best for all cases J. You should do and compare the results between Otsu algorithm and adaptive threshold algorithm. About adaptive threshold algorithm, you can be based on integral image (known by Paul Viola et. al) to increase performance. Cong.
