Abstract
Multi-level image thresholding segmentation divides an image into multiple non-overlapping regions. This paper presents a novel two-dimensional (2D) histogram-based segmentation method to improve the efficiency of multi-level image thresholding segmentation. In the proposed method, a new non-local means 2D histogram and a novel variant of gravitational search algorithm (exponential Kbest gravitational search algorithm) have been used to find the optimal thresholds. Further, for the optimization, a 2D Rényi entropy has been redefined for multi-level thresholding. The proposed method has been tested on the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset and Benchmark (BSDS300) in terms of both subjective and objective assessments. The experimental results affirm that the proposed method outperforms the other 2D histogram-based image thresholding segmentation methods on majority of performance parameters.
