Abstract
En 中文
Multilevel image thresholding using Expectation Maximization (EM) is an efficient method for image segmentation. However, it has two weaknesses: 1) EM is a greedy algorithm and cannot jump out of local optima. 2) it cannot guarantee the number of required classes while estimating the histogram by Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM). in this paper, to overcome these shortages, a novel thresholding approach by combining EM and Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) is developed. SSA suggests potential points to the EM algorithm to fly to a better position. Moreover, a new mechanism is considered to maintain the number of desired clusters. Twenty-four medical test images are selected and examined by standard metrics such as PSNR and FSIM. The proposed method is compared with the traditional EM algorithm, and an average improvement of 5.27% in PSNR values and 2.01% in FSIM values were recorded. Also, the proposed approach is compared with four existing segmentation techniques by using CT scan images that Qatar University has collected. Experimental results depict that the proposed method obtains the first rank in terms of PSNR and the second rank in terms of FSIM. It has been observed that the proposed technique performs better performance in the segmentation result compared to other considered state-of-the-art methods.
