Social spiders optimization and flower pollination algorithm for multilevel image thresholding: A performance study

作者:

Highlights:

• We present an empirical comparison of two new meta-heuristics SSO and FP.

• Real test images were used to perform thresholding using Otsu's method and Kapur's entropy.

• Compared algorithms were SSO, FP, PSO, BAT.

• Comparisons were made according to the fitness values, PSNR and SSIM.

• SSO shows superior performance in convergence and in quality terms.
