SAR Image Segmentation Based on Improved Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm and Fuzzy C-Means

الملخص EN

An improved Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm with differential evolution (DEGWO) combined with fuzzy C-means for complex synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image segmentation was proposed for the disadvantages of traditional optimization and fuzzy C-means (FCM) in image segmentation precision.

In the process of image segmentation based on FCM algorithm, the number of clusters and initial centers estimation is regarded as a search procedure that searches for an appropriate value in a greyscale interval.

Hence, an improved differential evolution Grey Wolf Optimization (DE-GWO) algorithm is introduced to search for the optimal initial centers; then the image segmentation approach which bases its principle on FCM algorithm will get a better result.

Experimental results in this work infers that both the precision and efficiency of the proposed method are superior to those of the state of the art.
