An Improved Chicken Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Handwritten Document Image Enhancement

원문 초록

Chicken swarm optimization is a new meta-heuristic algorithm which mimics the foraging hierarchical behavior of chicken. In this paper, we describe the preprocessing of handwritten document by contrast enhancement while preserving detail with an improved chicken swarm optimization algorithm.The results of the algorithm are compared with other existing meta heuristic algorithms like Cuckoo Search, Firefly Algorithm and the Artificial bee colony. The proposed algorithm considerably outperforms all the above by giving good results.
