At present, heart disease not only has a significant impact on the quality of human life but also poses a greater impact on people’s health. Therefore, it is very important to be able to diagnose heart disease as early as possible and give corresponding treatment. Heart image segmentation is the primary operation of intelligent heart disease diagnosis. The quality of segmentation directly determines the effect of intelligent diagnosis. Because the running time of image segmentation is often longer, coupled with the characteristics of cardiac MR imaging technology and the structural characteristics of the cardiac target itself, the rapid segmentation of cardiac MRI images still has challenges. Aiming at the long running time of traditional methods and low segmentation accuracy, a medical image segmentation (MIS) method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) optimized support vector machine (SVM) is proposed, referred to as PSO-SVM. First, the current iteration number and population number in PSO are added to the control strategy of inertial weight λ to improve the performance of PSO inertial weight λ. Find the optimal penalty coefficient C and γ in the gaussian kernel function by PSO. Then use the SVM method to establish the best classification model and test the data. Compared with traditional methods, this method not only shortens the running time, but also improves the segmentation accuracy. At the same time, comparing the influence of traditional inertial weights on segmentation results, the improved method reduces the average convergence algebra and shortens the optimization time.

Multilevel thresholding is a popular image segmentation technique. However, computational complexity of multilevel thresholding increases very rapidly with increasing number of thresholds. Metaheuristic algorithms are applied to reduce computational complexity of multilevel thresholding. A new method of multilevel thresholding based on Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The goodness of the thresholds is evaluated using Kapur's entropy or Otsu's between class variance function. The proposed method is tested on a set of benchmark test images and the performance is compared with PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and BFO (Bacterial Foraging Optimization) based methods. The results are analyzed objectively using the fitness function and the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) values. It is found that MFO based multilevel thresholding method performs better than the PSO and BFO based methods.

Multilevel thresholding is widely used in brain magnetic resonance (MR) image segmentation. In this article, a multilevel thresholding-based brain MR image segmentation technique is proposed. The image is first filtered using anisotropic diffusion. Then multilevel thresholding based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is performed on the filtered image to get the final segmented image. Otsu function is used to select the thresholds. The proposed technique is compared with standard PSO and bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) based multilevel thresholding techniques. The objective image quality metrics such as Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Structural SIMilarity (MSSIM) index are used to evaluate the quality of the segmented images. The experimental results suggest that the proposed technique gives significantly better-quality image segmentation compared to the other techniques when applied to T2-weitghted brain MR images.
