Multilevel maximum entropy threshold selection based on quantum particle swarm optimization
Yong Jun Zhao, Yongbiao Hu · 2010
The maximum entropy threshold has been proven as an efficient method in image segmentation for bilevel thresholding. However, this method becomes very time-consuming when extended to multilevel threshold problem. To solve the problem, a multilevel maximum entropy threshold method based on quantum particle swarm optimization is proposed. The experimental results demonstrate the success of the proposed image thresholding method, as compared with ES-Kapur method and GA-Kapur method.
