Abstract :
Image preprocessing and image enhancement plays a critical role in medical image processing. Considering the case study of breast cancer detection, it was found that there are various schemes of optimization techniques which is either training based or leads to recursive iterations leading to computationally complex process. Hence, the proposed system implements a unique and novel optimization technique called as Image Enhancement using Bio-inspired Algorithms. Different from existing bio-inspired algorithm, the proposed system doesn´t use any training sequences, or depends on single fitness function or performs recursive operation for exploring elite population. The algorithm performs automatic segmentation process followed by three level of enhancement operation for achieving local to global best optimization without using any forms of recursive functions. The outcomes are visually defined and well resolution to prove success factor.
