In the field of image processing, there are several problems where the efficient search has to
be performed in complex search domain to find an optimal solution. Image enhancement …

Abstract Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) is a promising meta-heuristic method developed
based on the intelligent conduct of crows in nature. This algorithm lacks a good …

Image Enhancement is a crucial phase in almost every image processing system. It aims at
improving both the visual and the informational quality of distorted images. Histogram …

Quadrotor UAVs are one of the most preferred types of small unmanned aerial vehicles, due
to their modest mechanical structure and propulsion precept. However, the complex non …

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are stochastic and robust meta-heuristics of evolutionary
computation field useful to solve optimization problems in image processing applications …

Satellite images usually have relatively narrow brightness value ranges which entails a
demand to broaden the contrast and retain relevant details contained in the images prior to …

Ear recognition is a new biometric technology that competes with well-known biometric
modalities such as fingerprint, face and iris. However, this modality suffers from common …

Due to the low and uneven illumination that is typical of a recirculating aquaculture system
(RAS), visible and near infrared (NIR) images collected from RASs always have low …

Multi-feature segmentation has demonstrated its superiority against one-dimensional feature
approaches based on only grayscale information. Mean shift (MS) is an algorithm that has …

The economic dispatch problem of power plays a very important role in the exploitation of
electro-energy systems to judiciously distribute power generated by all plants. The Unit …
