Abstract: In this work we report on a study of entropic threshold of digital speckle patterns images produced by rough surfaces using Tsallis entropy. The speckle pattern images were obtained in the diffraction plane at the normal direction and they are the outcome of the incidence of a laser beam in the rough metallic surfaces. The speckle pattern images were segmented in order to verify the sensitivity of the optimal Tsallis entropic threshold value as a function of the surface roughness. We show that the surface roughness can be sensed and tuned by this method.
