Summary
The multi-strategy self-adaptive Rime Optimization (MSRIME) algorithm enhances complex landscape optimization. MSRIME improves search diversity and convergence stability for better accuracy and robustness in tasks like image segmentation.
Area of Science:
- Computational Intelligence
- Optimization Algorithms
- Metaheuristics
Background:
- Traditional Rime Optimization Algorithm (RIME) faces performance issues in complex optimization landscapes.
- Challenges include high dimensionality, strong multimodality, and demanding tasks like image segmentation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a multi-strategy self-adaptive Rime Optimization (MSRIME) approach.
- Enhance search diversity and convergence stability for improved optimization performance.
Main Methods:
- Introduced a dynamically adjusted differential mutation factor for exploration-exploitation balance.
- Constructed a heterogeneous strategy pool with multiple update operators.
- Employed a probability-driven strategy selection scheme based on performance feedback.
Main Results:
- MSRIME demonstrated superior performance on CEC2017 and CEC2022 benchmark suites.
- Achieved best mean rankings in Friedman tests, outperforming state-of-the-art algorithms.
- Showcased effectiveness in multilevel threshold image segmentation with higher PSNR, SSIM, and FSIM values.
Conclusions:
- MSRIME offers an effective and robust optimization framework.
- Significant performance improvements achieved without increased computational complexity.
- Validated effectiveness in both benchmark testing and practical image segmentation applications.
