Removal of Pectoral Muscle Region in Mammogram Image by Metaheuristic Algorithm-Monkey Search Optimization (MSO)

摘要

In this study, a different approach based on Metaheuristic algorithm is presented for removing pectoral muscle region in mammogram image is carried out using image segmentation process. The foraging behavior of monkey is optimized as Monkey Search Optimization (MSO) which is the subset of metaheuristic algorithm. To solve complex problems by cooperation the behaviors of nature is considered. Several algorithms based on population-based metaheuristic algorithms were introduced in the literature to solve different problems like optimization problems; it is proven by result that the proposed approach has the potential to be an appropriate algorithm for image segmentation. Results are presented based on simulation made with the implementation in MATLAB which is tested on the images of MIAS database.
