Multi-objective and multi-level image thresholding based on dominance and diversity criteria

The Kapur and Otsu methods are widely used image thresholding approaches and they are very efficient in bi-level thresholding applications. Evolutionary algorithms have been developed to extend the Kapur and Otsu methods to the multi-level thresholding case. However, there remains an unsolved argument that neither Kapur nor Otsu objective can optimally fit diverse content contained in different kinds of images. This paper proposes a multi-objective model which seeks to find the Pareto-optimal set with respect to Kapur and Otsu objectives. Based on dominance and diversity criteria, we developed a hybrid multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) method by incorporating several intelligent search strategies. The ensemble strategy is also applied to automatically select the best search strategy to perform at various algorithm stages according to its historic performances. The experimental result shows that the solutions to our multi-objective model consistently produce equal or better segmentation results than those by the optimal solutions to the original Kapur and Otsu models, and that the proposed hybrid algorithm with and without the ensemble strategy produces a better approximation to the ideal Pareto front than those obtained by two other MOPSO variants and the MOEA/D. In comparison with the most recent multilevel thresholding methods, our approach also consistently obtains better performance in the segmentation result for several benchmark images.     

Multilevel thresholding selection based on the artificial bee colony algorithm for image segmentation

Multilevel thresholding is an important technique for image processing and pattern recognition. The maximum entropy thresholding (MET) has been widely applied in the literature. In this paper, a new multilevel MET algorithm based on the technology of the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is proposed: the maximum entropy based artificial bee colony thresholding (MEABCT) method. Four different methods are compared to this proposed method: the particle swarm optimization (PSO), the hybrid cooperative-comprehensive learning based PSO algorithm (HCOCLPSO), the Fast Otsu’s method and the honey bee mating optimization (HBMO). The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed MEABCT algorithm can search for multiple thresholds which are very close to the optimal ones examined by the exhaustive search method. Compared to the other four thresholding methods, the segmentation results of using the MEABCT algorithm is the most, however, the computation time by using the MEABCT algorithm is shorter than that of the other four methods.     

Fuzzy entropy based optimal thresholding using bat algorithm

Image segmentation is a very significant process in image analysis. Much effort based on thresholding has been made on this field as it is simple and intuitive, commonly used thresholding approaches are to optimize a criterion such as between-class variance or entropy for seeking appropriate threshold values. However, a mass of computational cost is needed and efficiency is broken down as an exhaustive search is utilized for finding the optimal thresholds, which results in application of evolutionary algorithm and swarm intelligence to obtain the optimal thresholds. This paper considers image thresholding as a constrained optimization problem and optimal thresholds for 1-level or multi-level thresholding in an image are acquired by maximizing the fuzzy entropy via a newly proposed bat algorithm. The optimal thresholding is achieved through the convergence of bat algorithm. The proposed method has been tested on some natural and infrared images. The results are compared with the fuzzy entropy based methods that are optimized by artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC), genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and ant colony optimization (ACO); moreover, they are also compared with thresholding methods based on criteria of between-class variance and Kapur's entropy optimized by bat algorithm. It is demonstrated that the proposed method is robust, adaptive, encouraging on the score of CPU time and exhibits the better performance than other methods involved in the paper in terms of objective function values.

Cuckoo search algorithm and wind driven optimization based study of satellite image segmentation for multilevel thresholding using Kapur’s entropy

The objective of image segmentation is to extract meaningful objects. A meaningful segmentation selects the proper threshold values to optimize a criterion using entropy. The conventional multilevel thresholding methods are efficient for bi-level thresholding. However, they are computationally expensive when extended to multilevel thresholding since they exhaustively search the optimal thresholds to optimize the objective functions. To overcome this problem, two successful swarm-intelligence-based global optimization algorithms, cuckoo search (CS) algorithm and wind driven optimization (WDO) for multilevel thresholding using Kapur’s entropy has been employed. For this purpose, best solution as fitness function is achieved through CS and WDO algorithm using Kapur’s entropy for optimal multilevel thresholding. A new approach of CS and WDO algorithm is used for selection of optimal threshold value. This algorithm is used to obtain the best solution or best fitness value from the initial random threshold values, and to evaluate the quality of a solution, correlation function is used. Experimental results have been examined on standard set of satellite images using various numbers of thresholds. The results based on Kapur’s entropy reveal that CS, ELR-CS and WDO method can be accurately and efficiently used in multilevel thresholding problem.
