Fast Threshold Image Segmentation Based on 2D Fuzzy Fisher and Random Local Optimized QPSO

In the paper, a real-time segmentation method that separates the target signal from the navigation image is proposed. In the approaching docking stage, the navigation image is composed of target and non-target signal, which are separately bright spot and space vehicle itself. Since the non-target signals is the main part of the navigation image, the traditional entropy-related criterions and Ostu-related criterions will bring inadequate segmentation, while the mere 2D Fisher criterion will causes over-segmentation, all the methods show their shortages in dealing with this kind of case. To guarantee a precise image segmentation, a revised 2D fuzzy Fisher is proposed in the paper to make a trade-off between positioning target regions and retaining target fuzzy boundaries. First, to reduce redundant computations in finding the threshold pair, a 2D fuzzy Fisher criterion-based integral image is established by way of simplifying the corresponding fuzzy domains. Then, to quicken the convergence, a random orthogonal component is added in its quasi-optimum particle to enhance its local searching capacity in each iteration. Experimental results show its competence of quick segmentation.
