SuFMoFPA: A superpixel and meta-heuristic based fuzzy image segmentation approach to explicate COVID-19 radiological images

作者:

Highlights:

• This approach is useful to early screen the suspected COVID-19 infected patients.

• This approach uses the benefits of superpixels to process spatial information.

• There is no dependency on the choice of initial cluster centers.

• The proposed method outperforms some standard state-of-the-art approaches.

• The convergence of the SuFMoFPA approach is quite encouraging.
