In this paper, we describe a new soft computing method for segmentation of both gray level and color images by using a fuzzy entropy based criteria (cost function), the genetic algorithm, and the evolutionary computation techniques. The presented method allow us to find optimized set of parameters for a predefined cost function. Particularly, we found the optimum set of membership functions by maximizing the fuzzy entropy and based on the membership functions. Experimental results show that the offered method can reliably segment and give better threshold then Otsu Multi-Level thresholding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
