Call for Book Chapters
Applications of Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithms for Image Processing
To be published by Studies in Computational Intelligence by Springer

Introduction
The segmentation of images is a critical task for computer vision
applications. The objective is to generate segmented images as fast and
accurate as possible. However, due to the complex nature of digital images,
the segmentation is not a trivial task. Metaheuristic Algorithms (MA) have
been used to perform image segmentation over the last decade with
interesting results. Usually, MAs can behave in two forms; exploration, and
exploitation. The exploration phase is used to diversify the solutions
along the search space to avoid local stagnation, while the exploitation
phase intensifies the search in a region to ensure convergence. The
performance of many MAs is limited by its operators. In some cases, the
operators that control the algorithm have proved to be very efficient, but
its interaction with different approaches can further enhance its
performance. The hybridization of MAs is a new tendency where two or more
algorithms are merged to generate better results. Usually, the
hybridization can take two forms; sequential use of algorithms, and the
replacement of operators. In the first case, two MA are run in sequence to
firstly explore with an algorithm and then perform exploitation on the
later; however, this approach can significantly increase the number of
iterations required to converge. In the second case, the operators of two
or more algorithms are mixed together provide a better balance between the
intensification and diversification of the solutions without increasing the
number of iterations.
This Book aims to provide a collection of high-quality research works that
address broad challenges in both theoretical and application aspects of
hybrid metaheuristic algorithms in image processing and computer vision. We
invite colleagues to contribute original book chapters that will stimulate
the continuing effort on the application of hybrid MAs approaches to solve
image-processing problems and computer vision problems.
We invite all researchers and practitioners who are developing algorithms,
systems, and applications, to share their results, ideas, and experiences.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Hybrid Metaheuristics
Theoretical aspects of hybridization
Automated parameter tuning
Parallelization
Evolutionary Computation Algorithms
Swarm Optimization
Multi-objective optimization
Multilevel segmentation
Object recognition
Computer vision
