Abstract

The current segmentation algorithms of bottom shadow of vehicle have poor robustness, meanwhile, the multilevel thresholds segmentation algorithm of maximum between-class variance (MBCV) method does not determine automatically the number of the thresholds. Therefore, firstly, the peak adaptive method based on image histogram is used to determine the number of thresholds; then, the number is considered as the particle dimension of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, and the bottom shadow of vehicles based on an improved PSO-MBCV algorithm is proposed. The results show that the misclassification error (ME) can be deduced and the bottom shadow of vehicles can be effectively segmented.
