Bacterial Foraging Algorithm for neutron radiography image quality improvement
Slami Saadi, Abdellah Kouzou, A. Guessoum, Maâmar Bettayeb · 2010
We want to implement a new optimal approach for image restoration problem, which is useful for neutron radiography images enhancement to assist the physician interpreter on his evaluation. Our approach is based on using swarm intelligence optimization algorithms to solve a least squares minimization ill-posed problem, using Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) Algorithm. To get smoothed images in presence of noise, a Laplacian constraint is introduced for regularization purpose.
