Unsupervised data classification (or clustering) analysis is one of the most useful tools and a descriptive task in data mining that seeks to classify homogeneous groups of objects based on similarity and is used in many medical disciplines and various applications. In general, there is no single algorithm that is suitable for all types of data, conditions, and applications. Each algorithm has ...

The present paper proposes the development of a three-level thresholding based image segmentation technique for real images obtained from CT scanning of a human head. The proposed method utilizes maximization of fuzzy entropy to determine the optimal thresholds. The optimization problem is solved by employing a very recently proposed population-based optimization technique, called biogeography ...

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new evolutionary algorithm inspired by biogeography, which involves the study of the migration of biological species between habitats. Previous work has shown that various migration models of BBO result in significant changes in performance. Sinusoidal migration models have been shown to provide the best performance so far. Motivated by biogeography th...
