Deepika and J. Nithya}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Segmentation is one of the essential tasks in image processing. Thresholding is one of the simplest techniques for performing image segmentation. Multilevel thresholding is a simple and effective technique. The primary objective of bi-level or multilevel thresholding for image segmentation is to determine a best thresholding value. To achieve multilevel thresholding various techniques has been proposed. A study of some nature inspired metaheuristic algorithms for multilevel thresholding for image segmentation is conducted. Here, we study about Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, artificial bee colony optimization (ABC), Ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm and Cuckoo search (CS) algorithm. }, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {8}, number = {10}, year = {2014}, pages = {1356 - 1361}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9999738}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/94}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 94, 2014}, }
