Abstract

In this paper, a simulated algorithm-genetic (SA-GA) hybrid algorithm based on a Markov Random Field (MRF) model (MRF-SA-GA) is introduced for image de-noising and segmentation. In this algorithm, a population of potential solutions is maintained at every generation, and for each solution a fitness value is calculated with a fitness function, which is constructed based on the MRF potential function according to Metropolis algorithm and Bayesian rule. Two experiments are selected to verify the performance of the hybrid algorithm, and the preliminary results show that MRF-SA-GA outperforms SA and GA alone.
