‎This paper presents an application of partial differential equations(PDEs) for the segmentation of abdominal and thoracic aortic in CTA datasets. An important challenge in reliably detecting aortic is the need to overcome problems associated with intensity inhomogeneities. Level sets are part of an important class of methods that utilize partial differential equations (PDEs) and have been exte...

Backtracking search algorithm is a novel population-based stochastic technique. This paper proposes an improved backtracking search algorithm for constrained optimization problems. The proposed algorithm is combined with differential evolution algorithm and the breeder genetic algorithm mutation operator. The differential evolution algorithm is used to accelerate convergence at later iteration ...

Differential evolution (DE) algorithm is a good optimization technique based on population which has been successfully applied in many research and application areas. Log-linear model is a statistical model which can easily blend multiple features, a variety of knowledge sources can be added to the model in the form of feature functions. Traditional differential evolution algorithm is easy to f...
