Abstract

In medical image examination, image segmentation is the broadly used method. Currently, the efficient segmentation of mammogram images is the main challenge. Many methods were presented for segmenting the mammogram images, but the results are not satisfactory. In this paper, an efficient segmentation of mammogram images-based Multilevel Thresholding (MLT) method is proposed. Initially, the preprocessing step is executed for eliminating the unnecessary noises. For gaining the useful features from the mammogram images, mammogram image segmentation is carried out using multilevel thresholding method. In this paper, a novel Multi-Objective Emperor Penguin Optimization (MOEPO) algorithm is proposed for searching the multilevel greatest thresholds that segment the images into background and objects. The objective functions of the MLT are Otsu’s method, Kapur and Tsallis entropy. The effectiveness of the proposed method is analyzed using several performances evaluating metrics, like PSNR, FSIM and SSIM. The experimental outcomes show that the performance of the proposed technique is superior to other state-of-the-art methods. The proposed technique is likened to three existing models, viz. ScPSO-MT, Double Threshold and IWO-SUSAN. The SSIM of the proposed technique is 24.99%, 27.83% and 26.95% better than ScPSO-MT, Double Threshold and IWO-SUSAN existing approaches. The PSNR of the proposed technique is 25.27%, 40% and 50.74% better than ScPSO-MT, Double Threshold and IWO-SUSAN approaches. The FSIM of the proposed technique is 28.57%, 34.12% and 34.12% better than ScPSO-MT, Double Threshold and IWO-SUSAN methods.
