Abstract

In order to determine the optimal thresholds in image segmentation, an effective image threshold segmentation method is presented that base on Fuzzy logic. A new fuzzy entropy is defined, that is not only related to the membership (fuzzy domain) but also related to the probability distribution (space domain), it can respond to the variety of image input information. In addition, by introducing a novel particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, the optimal threshold can be gotten to find the optimization parameters of the membership, so that one image can be segmented by using the threshold. Using our novel algorithm to segment images, we can get a better result than that of most threshold segmentation algorithm.
