In order to solve the problems of traditional harmony search in complex function multiobjective optimization, such as low precision, slow convergence, and easy to fall into local optimum, this article proposes a multiobjective optimization harmony search parallel algorithm based on cloud computing. First, according to the characteristics that the traditional harmony search algorithm uses a single harmony library for storing and processing the memory harmony, and it is divided into multiple harmony sublibraries according to different harmony. At the same time, the roulette selection and dynamic trade-off factor strategies are used for the dynamic setting of harmony memory library value-taking probability, pitch fine-tuning probability, pitch fine-tuning bandwidth, and other parameters which the traditional harmony search algorithm mainly relies on. Then, MapReduce programming model is used to establish Map and Reduce core parallel computing functions, to construct the parallel algorithm of dynamic parameter harmony search based on cloud computing. Finally, the algorithm optimization comparison test is conducted on Hadoop platform and compared with several existing optimal harmony search algorithms, the searching precision of this algorithm is improved by eight orders of magnitude, and the iteration number on the convergence speed is reduced by 6500 times, and the parallel achieves the linear acceleration ratio. Experimental results show that the optimization efficiency of this algorithm is higher than several existing optimal harmony search algorithms.

AbstractThresholding is the easiest method for image segmentation. Bi-level thresholding is used to create binary images, while multilevel thresholding determines multiple thresholds, which divide the pixels into multiple regions. Most of the bi-level thresholding methods are easily extendable to multilevel thresholding. However, the computational time will increase with the increase in the number of thresholds. To solve this problem, many researchers have used different bio-inspired metaheuristics to handle the multilevel thresholding problem. In this paper, optimal thresholds for multilevel thresholding in an image are selected by maximizing three criteria: Between-class variance, Kapur and Tsallis entropy using harmony search (HS) algorithm. The HS algorithm is an evolutionary algorithm inspired from the individual improvisation process of the musicians in order to get a better harmony in jazz music. The proposed algorithm has been tested on a standard set of images from the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset. The results are then compared with that of genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), bacterial foraging optimization (BFO), and artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC). Results have been analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively using the fitness value and the two popular performance measures: SSIM and FSIM indices. Experimental results have validated the efficiency of the HS algorithm and its robustness against GA, PSO, and BFO algorithms. Comparison with the well-known metaheuristic ABC algorithm indicates the equal performance for all images when the number of thresholds M is equal to two, three, four, and five. Furthermore, ABC has shown to be the most stable when the dimension of the problem is too high.
