Using the traditional image segmentation method, the segmentation results are very poor. By adopting the maximum entropy and genetic algorithm, the maximum entropy function was used as the fitness function of genetic algorithm. Through continuous optimization, the optimal segmentation threshold is determined. Experimental results prove that the image segmentation of this paper not only fast and accurate, but also has strong adaptability.展开更多

A new definition of fuzzy membership function is proposed, it denotes the characteristic relationship between the gray level of each pixel and the average value of its neighborhood. When the threshold is not located at the obvious and deep valley of the histgram, genetic algorithm is devoted to the problem of selecting the appropriate threshold value.

So the genetic algorithm is introduced to improve the computational efficiency of the 2 D entropy method. The proposed method uses both the gray value of a pixel and the local average gray value of an image. At the same time, the simple genetic algorithm is improved by using better reproduction and crossover operators. Thus the proposed method makes up the 2 D entropy method’s drawback of being time consuming, and yields satisfactory segmentation results. Experimental results show that the proposed method can save computational time when it provides good quality segmentation.展开更多

These new energy based objective criterions are further combined with the proficient search capability of swarm based algorithms to improve the efficiency and robustness. The proposed multilevel thresholding approach accurately determines the optimal threshold values by using generated energy curve, and acutely distinguishes different objects within the multi-channel complex images. The performance evaluation indices and experiments on different test images illustrate that Kapur's entropy aided with differential evolution and bacterial foraging optimization algorithm generates the most accurate and visually pleasing segmented images.展开更多

But the computation complexity of 2-D Tsallis entropy is very large and becomes an obstacle to real time image processing systems. A fast recursive algorithm for 2-D Tsallis entropy thresholding is proposed. The key variables involved in calculating 2-D Tsallis entropy are written in recursive form. Thus, many repeating calculations are avoided and the computation complexity reduces to O（L2） from O（L4）. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is illustrated by experimental results.展开更多
