Topological Active Nets Optimization Using Genetic Algorithms

چکیده
The Topological Active Net (TAN) model is a deformable model used for image segmentation. It integrates features of region–based and edge–based segmentation techniques. This way, the model is able to fit the edges of the objects and model their inner topology. The model consists of a two dimensional mesh controlled by energy functions. The minimization of these energy functions leads to the TAN adjustment. This paper presents a new approach to the energy minimization process based on genetic algorithms (GA), that defines several suitable genetic operators for the optimization task. The results of the new GA approach are compared to the results of a greedy algorithm developed for the same task.

Genetic-Greedy Hybrid Approach for Topological Active Nets Optimization
In this paper we propose a genetic and greedy algorithm combination for the optimization of the Topological Active Nets (TAN) model. This is a deformable model used for image segmentation that integrates features of region-based and edge-based segmentation techniques, being able to fit the edges of the objects and model their inner topology. The hybrid approach we propose can optimize the activ...

Semi-active fluid viscous dampers as a subset of control systems have shown their ability to reduce seismic responses of tall buildings. In this paper, multi-objective optimization of the performance of this group of dampers in reducing the seismic responses of buildings is studied using multi-objective genetic algorithms. For numerical example, two 7 and 18 stories buildings are chosen and mod...
متن کاملOptimization of Topological Active Nets with Differential Evolution
The Topological Active Netmodel for image segmentation is a deformable model that integrates features of region–based and boundary– based segmentation techniques. The segmentation process turns into a minimization task of the energy functions which control the model deformation. We used Differential Evolution as an alternative evolutionary method that minimizes the decisions of the designer wit...
متن کاملFuzzy particle swarm optimization with nearest-better neighborhood for multimodal optimization
In the last decades, many efforts have been made to solve multimodal optimization problems using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). To produce good results, these PSO algorithms need to specify some niching parameters to define the local neighborhood. In this paper, our motivation is to propose the novel neighborhood structures that remove undesirable niching parameters without sacrificing perf...
