ABSTRACT

Because image segmentation is the base of image identification, analysis and interpretation, the image segmentation has been widely used in many fields. And PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm is one of the most common image segmentation algorithms. However, it has the problems of premature convergence and local optimum. To solve the problems, ISABEP (Image Segmentation Algorithm Based on Entropy and PSO) algorithm has been proposed. Simulation demonstrates that the proposed algorithm has fast convergence speed.
