Multi-threshold image segmentation using a multi-strategy shuffled frog leaping algorithm

作者:

Highlights:

• The HVSFLA nethod is presented for multi-threshold image segmentation.

• Performance of the SFLA is enhanced by special horizontal and vertical crossover search.

• The better balance between intensification and diversification has been tested.

• The HVSFLA has technical and statistic advantages in multi-threshold image segmentation.

• HVSFLA may be employed as a tool for breast invasive ductal carcinoma images segmentation.
