An Adaptive Self-Organizing Migration Algorithm for Parameter Optimization of Wavelet Transformation.

Wavelet transformation is well applied in the field of image processing, and parameter optimization of wavelet transformation has always been an eternal topic on its performance improvement. In this paper, an adaptive self-organizing migration algorithm (ASOMA) is proposed to optimize the wavelet parameters to elevate the performance of wavelet denoising. Firstly, based on the original SOMA, an adaptive step size adjustment method is proposed by recording the step information of successful individuals, which improves the search ability of the SOMA. Secondly, an exploratory selection method of leader is proposed to effectively balance the exploration and exploitation of the SOMA. Finally, ASOMA is compared with the original SOMA and its variants using wavelet general threshold denoising on classical test images in denoising performance, which is evaluated by the indicators of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM). The experimental results demonstrate that ASOMA has better denoising performance than the wavelet general threshold, the original SOMA, and the related variants of SOMA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
