Liu Na, Jiang Yan, Li Shu · 2017

Medical image segmentation is an important application in medical image processing. In order to improve the efficiency of Medical image segmentation, a method to select optimal threshold by PSO algorithm with Dynamic Inertia Weight(DW-PSO) is proposed. It makes the proportion of the local and global searching ability can be effectively controlled in the whole process of optimal searching. Compared with PSO algorithm, DW-PSO gets better effects of image segmentation. The data of experiment shows that DW-PSO has obvious advantage in computing efficiency, the precision and stability of searching optimal threshold, as well as the effect of image segmentation.
