The image registration is a very important task in image processing. In the field of medical imaging, it is used to compare the anatomical structures of two or more images taken at different time to track for example the evolution of a disease. Intensity-based techniques are widely used in the multi-modal registration. To have the best registration, a cost function expressing the similarity between these images is maximized. The registration problem is reduced to the optimization of a cost function. We propose to use neighborhood meta-heuristics (tabu search, simulated annealing) and a meta-heuristic population (genetic algorithms). An evaluation step is necessary to estimate the quality of registration obtained. In this paper we present some results of medical image registration

Heart disease is one of the causes of death worldwide. Therefore, detecting heart disease is very important to reduce the increased mortality rate. One of the methods used to detect the abnormalities or disorders of the heart is to use computer assistance to determine the characteristics of an electrocardiogram. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that detects and records the activity of the heart through small metal electrodes attached to the skin of one's chest, arms and legs. This test shows how fast the heart beats and whether the rhythm is stable or not. The purpose of this thesis is to apply a multi-layer perceptron model with firefly algorithm and simulated annealing in detecting cardiac abnormalities based on the ECG signal characteristics. The initial step of this research is image processing. The stages of ECG image processing are grayscale, thresholding, edge detection, segmentation and normalization processes. The results of this image processing are used as input matrices in the perceptron multilayer network training using firefly algorithm and simulated annealing. In the training process, we will get optimal weights and biases for validation tests on test data. The training data in this thesis uses 20 ECG images and in the validation test process uses 10 ECG images. The validation results in the validation test show that the accuracy in detecting heart abnormalities based on the characteristics of ECG signals using multi- layer perceptron with firefly algorithm and simulated annealing is 100%.

The separation of color points is one of the important issues in computational geometry, which is used in various parts of science; it can be used in facility locating, image processing and clustering. Among these, one of the most widely used computational geometry in the real-world is the problem of covering and separating points with rectangles. In this paper, we intend to consider the problemof separating the two-color points sets, using three rectangles. In fact, our goal is to separate desired blue points from undesired red points by three rectangles, in such a way that these three rectangles contain the most desire points. For this purpose, we provide a metaheuristic algorithm based on the simulated annealing method that could separates blue points from input points, , in time order O (n) with the help of three rectangles. The algorithm is executed with C# and also it has been compared and evaluated with the optimum algorithm results. The results show that our recommended algorithm responses is so close to optimal responses, and also in some cases we obtains the exact optimal response.

The focus of this paper is on the synthesis of path generation mechanisms based on shape optimization. The principle component analysis (PCA) technique used in image processing is employed to represent the desired coupler curve of the mechanism and simulated annealing is used as the optimization tool. PCA representation is invariant under rotation, translation, scaling, and starting point. Once a shape-optimized mechanism is found, it is translated, rotated, and scaled to its final form. An illustrative example is introduced to demonstrate the proposed method.
