Tangent hybrid leader coronavirus herd optimization for the foreground and background image segmentation using multilevel thresholding

In this paper, multilevel thresholding with Tangent Hybrid Leader Coronavirus Herd Optimization (THLCHO) is introduced for the image segmentation of foreground and background, The input image is passed to the pre-processing that is done by the adaptive wiener filtering (AWF) technique and the Region of Interest (RoI) extraction. Multilevel thresholding approaches such as threshold and threshold levels are employed to segment the images by entropy-based Kapur, and ostu thresholding, masi entropy and Renyi's entropy, then the threshold values are optimally selected by THLCHO and considered as the output of the techniques. Secondly, the pre-processed image is subjected to the background and foreground image segmentation utilizing the entropy-based Fuzzy C-Means (EFCM) algorithm, which is assumed as an output of EFCM. Lastly, both outcomes are merged to produce the resultant output. The evaluation metrics employed for Multithresholding- THLCHO, namely, dice co-efficient, peak signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) and uniformity measure acquired the maximal values of 0.900, 38.274 dB and 0.918, respectively.
