Cuckoo search algorithm contains two parameters called scaling factor and discovery probability. They are usually use as constants, resulting in sensitivity to problems. To this end, we attempt to use normal distribution random numbers to set scaling factor and discovery probability, proposing cuckoo search algorithm with normal distribution called NCS, to enhance the CS algorithm’s refinement and convergency, and applying it to lychee image segmentation. Extensive experimental results conducted on 20 benchmark functions show the competition of NCS. In addition, NCS is applied to segment the lychee images, and achieves the improved performance.
