PSO-Based Tsallis Thresholding Selection Procedure for Image Segmentation
Multilevel thresholding is a method that is widely used in image segmentation. The thresholding problem is treated as an optimization problem with an objective function. In this article, a simple and histogram based approach is presented for multilevel thresholding in image segmentation. The proposed method combines Tsallis objective function and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The PSO algor...
متن کاملA Multilevel Automatic Thresholding for Image Segmentation Using Genetic Algorithm and Dwt
In this paper, An Automatic Multilevel Thresholding Method for Image segmentation is proposed based on Discrete Wavelet Transforms and Genetic Algorithm. We have combined Genetic Algorithm with DWT to make Segmentation faster and adequate results. First the length of the histogram is reduced by using DWT. Using this Reduced Histogram, the number of Thresholds and Threshold Value are determined ...

متن کاملA hierarchical approach to color image segmentation using homogeneity
In this paper, a novel hierarchical approach to color image segmentation is studied. We extend the general idea of a histogram to the homogeneity domain. In the first phase of the segmentation, uniform regions are identified via multilevel thresholding on a homogeneity histogram. While we process the homogeneity histogram, both local and global information is taken into consideration. This is p...
متن کاملImplementation of Multilevel Threshold Method for Digital Images Used In Medical Image Processing
The digital image processing has been applied in several areas, especially where it is necessary to use tools for feature extraction and to get patterns of the studied images. In an initial stage, the segmentation is used to separate the image in parts that represents a interest object, that may be used in a specific study. There are several methods that intends to perform such task, but it is ...
