Abstract

In this paper a FLIR image segmentation algorithm based on genetic algorithm and fuzzy set theory was presented. Image processing has to deal with many ambigious situations. Fuzzy set theory is a useful mathematical tool for handling the ambiguity or uncertainty. A fuzzy entropy is a functional on fuzzy sets that becomes smaller when the sharpness of its argument fuzzy set is improved. The paper defined different member function for the object and background of the image to transform the image into fuzzy domain and chose Z-function and S-function as the membership functions for the object and background of the image respectively and threshold the image into the object and background by maximizing the fuzzy entropy. The procedure for finding combination of a, b and c is implemented by genetic algorithm with appropriate coding method to avoid useless chromosomes. The experiment results show that our proposed method gives better performance than other general methods with good real-time by using genetic algorithm.
