Multi-level Kapur’s thresholding using whale optimization and social group optimization for brain MRI image segmentation

Abstract

Image thresholding is the vital part for segmentation of a region in image. A fresh technique of multilevel thresholding based on the whale optimizer and social group optimizer are in fact recommended in this particular paper. New Optimization techniques inspired are actually affected as a result of the interpersonal as well as the backpacking behaviour of all of the whales. The process of multi-level thresholding problem is applied through the Kapur’s entropy and metaheuristic algorithms. The suggested strategy is tried on brain MRI test image set. The suggested methods are next in contrast with particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evaluation (DE) constructed multilevel thresholding techniques and other optimization techniques in the literature. The segmentation really calculated with evaluation measures like Sensitivity, Specificity, and Dice Score (DS).
