Hybrid Metaheuristics for Image Analysis

Description

This book presents contributions in the field of computational intelligence for the purpose of image analysis. The chapters discuss how problems such as image segmentation, edge detection, face recognition, feature extraction, and image contrast enhancement can be solved using techniques such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization. The contributions provide a multidimensional approach, and the book will be useful for researchers in computer science, electrical engineering, and information technology.
