The Many

Object segmentation is a widely studied topic in digital image processing, as to it can be used for countless applications in several fields. This process is traditionally achieved by computing an optimal threshold from the image intensity histogram. Several algorithms have been proposed to find this threshold based on different statistical principles. However, the results generated via these algorithms contradict one another due to the many variables that can disturb an image. An accepted strategy to achieve the optimal histogram threshold, to distinguish between the object and the background, is to estimate two data distributions and find their intersection. This work proposes a strategy based on the Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) and the Generalized Gaussian (GG) distribution to assess the optimal threshold. To test this methodology, we carried out several experiments in synthetic and practical scenarios and compared our results against other well-known algorithms from the literature. These practical cases comprise a medical image database and our own generated database. The results in a simulated environment show an evident advantage of the proposed strategy against other algorithms. In a real environment, this ranks among the best algorithms, making it a reliable alternative.

Image enhancement techniques are prominently used to analyze the image by enhancing key factors like contrast, resolution, and quality of the image. With the proper analysis of images, it is desirable to pre-process the image for resolution and contrast enhancement. We present here a new approach based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT), singular value decomposition (SVD) for image contrast and resolution enhancement, The contrast of the image is enhanced by maximum value fusion technique applied to the images created by using modified cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) and singular value decomposition separately. The masking approach is employed, for obtaining residual pixel value between original and scaled images independently. The resolution of the image is enhanced by combining interpolated high-frequency sub-band and maximum value fusion images. The proposed algorithm helps to minimize the noise artifacts and over enhancement problems. Experimental results are tested in terms of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and absolute mean brightness error (AMBE). The proposed method shows better performance compared to other contrast and resolution enhancement techniques.

Broadcast Scheduling

Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANET) are thought-about as a mainstay in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). For an efficient vehicular Adhoc network, broadcasting i.e. sharing a safety related message across all vehicles and infrastructure throughout the network is pivotal. Hence an efficient TDMA based MAC protocol for VANETs would serve the purpose of broadcast scheduling. At the same time, high mobility, influential traffic density, and an altering network topology makes it strenuous to form an efficient broadcast schedule. In this paper an evolutionary approach has been chosen to solve the broadcast scheduling problem in VANETs. The paper focusses on identifying an optimal solution with minimal TDMA frames and increased transmissions. These two parameters are the converging factor for the evolutionary algorithms employed. The proposed approach uses an Adaptive Discrete Firefly Algorithm (ADFA) for solving the Broadcast Scheduling Problem (BSP). The results are compared with traditional evolutionary approaches such as Genetic Algorithm and Cuckoo search algorithm. A mathematical analysis to find the probability of achieving a time slot is done using Markov Chain analysis.
