Rr-cr-IJADE: An efficient differential evolution algorithm for multilevel image thresholding

作者：

Highlights：

• The “DE/rand-to-rank/1” scheme was proposed.

• The Rr-cr-IJADE algorithm was also proposed.

• Otsu's function is the objective function for multilevel thresholding.

• The experiments were conducted on 2 to 16 and 24 to 64 thresholds.

• The Rr-cr-IJADE was ranked first (1st) in all experiments.
