Active contours driven by Cuckoo Search strategy for brain tumour images segmentation

作者：

Highlights：

• An alternative Active Contour Model solution for medical images is introduced.

• A multi-population Cuckoo Search Strategy (MCSS) is implemented to boost ACM.

• Proposed method was applied on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data.

• MCSS outperforms traditional ACM and ACM driven by multi-population PSO.
