In order to improve the global search ability of biogeography-based optimization(BBO)algorithm in multi-threshold image segmentation,a multi-threshold image segmentation based on improved BBO algorithm is proposed.When using BBO algorithm to optimize threshold,firstly,the elitist selection operator is used to retain the optimal set of solutions.Secondly,a migration strategy based on fusion of good solution and pending solution is introduced to reduce premature convergence and invalid migration of traditional migration operations.Thirdly,to reduce the blindness of traditional mutation operations,a mutation operation through binary computation is created.Then,it is applied to the multi-threshold image segmentation of two-dimensional cross entropy.Finally,this method is used to segment the typical image and compared with two-dimensional multi-threshold segmentation based on particle swarm optimization algorithm and the two-dimensional multi-threshold image segmentation based on standard BBO algorithm.The experimental results show that the method has good convergence stability,it can effectively shorten the time of iteration,and the optimization performance is better than the standard BBO algorithm.

A Semi-Vectorial Morphological Segmentation Multi-Component Images of Coumarins on Thin Layer Combined with Laser for Better Separation

In this work, we propose an approach for the separation of coumarins from thin-layer morphological segmentation based on the acquisition of multicomponent images integrating different types of coumarins. The first step is to make a segmentation by region, by thresholding, by contour, etc. of each component of the digital image. Then, we proceeded to the calculations of parameters of the regions such as the color standard deviation, the color entropy, the average color of the pixels, the eccentricity from an algorithm on the matlab software. The mean color values atR = 91.20 in red, atB = 213.21 in blue showed the presence of samidin in the extract. The color entropy values HG = 5.25 in green and HB = 4.04 in blue also show the presence of visnadine in the leaves of Desmodium adscendens. These values are used to consolidate the database of separation and discrimination of the types of coumarins. The relevance of our coumarin separation or coumarin recognition method has been highlighted compared to other methods, such as the one based on the calculation of frontal ratios which cannot discriminate between two coumarins having the same frontal ratio. The robustness of our method is proven with respect to the separation and identification of some coumarins, in particular samidin and anglicine.

Ground-Based Cloud Using Exponential Entropy/Exponential Gray Entropy and UPSO

Objective and accurate classification model or method of cloud image is a prerequisite for accurate weather monitoring and forecast.Thus safety of aircraft taking off and landing and air flight can be guaranteed.Thresholding is a kind of simple and effective method of cloud classification.It can realize automated ground-based cloud detection and cloudage observation.The existing segmentation methods based on fixed threshold and single threshold cannot achieve good segmentation effect.Thus it is difficult to obtain the accurate result of cloud detection and cloudage observation.In view of the above-mentioned problems,multi-thresholding methods of ground-based cloud based on exponential entropy/exponential gray entropy and uniform searching particle swarm optimization(UPSO)are proposed.Exponential entropy and exponential gray entropy make up for the defects of undefined value and zero value in Shannon entropy.In addition,exponential gray entropy reflects the relative uniformity of gray levels within the cloud cluster and background cluster.Cloud regions and background regions of different gray level ranges can be distinguished more precisely using the multi-thresholding strategy.In order to reduce computational complexity of original exhaustive algorithm for multi-threshold selection,the UPSO algorithm is adopted.It can find the optimal thresholds quickly and accurately.As a result,the real-time processing of segmentation of groundbased cloud image can be realized.The experimental results show that,in comparison with the existing groundbased cloud image segmentation methods and multi-thresholding method based on maximum Shannon entropy,the proposed methods can extract the boundary shape,textures and details feature of cloud more clearly.Therefore,the accuracies of cloudage detection and morphology classification for ground-based cloud are both improved.

Segmenting the Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Breast Magnetic Resonance Images(DCE-BMRI)is an extremely important task to diagnose the disease because it has the highest specificity when acquired with high temporal and spatial resolution and is also corrupted by heavy noise,outliers,and other imaging artifacts.In this paper,we intend to develop efficient robust segmentation algorithms based on fuzzy clustering approach for segmenting the DCE-BMRs.Our proposed segmentation algorithms have been amalgamated with effective kernel-induced distance measure on standard fuzzy c-means algorithm along with the spatial neighborhood information,entropy term,and tolerance vector into a fuzzy clustering structure for segmenting the DCE-BMRI.The significant feature of our proposed algorithms is its capability tofind the optimal membership grades and obtain effective cluster centers automatically by minimizing the proposed robust objective functions.Also,this article demonstrates the superiority of the proposed algorithms for segmenting DCE-BMRI in comparison with other recent kernel-based fuzzy c-means techniques.Finally the clustering accuracies of the proposed algorithms are validated by using silhouette method in comparison with existed fuzzy clustering algorithms.

Two-Dimensional Entropy Method Based on Genetic Algorithm

Two dimensional(2 D) entropy method has to pay the price of time when applied to image segmentation. 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.

Fast recursive algorithm for two-dimensional Tsallis entropy thresholding method

Recently, a two-dimensional （2-D） Tsallis entropy thresholding method has been proposed as a new method for image segmentation. 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.
