Masked face image segmentation using a multilevel threshold with a hybrid fitness function by Nada AbdElFattah Ibrahim, Ehab R. Mohamed, Hanaa M. Hamza, Yousef S. Alsahafi, Khalid M. Hosny

“…The two techniques widely used, Otsu's and Kapur's entropy, are combined to create a hybrid fitness function to identify the ideal threshold values. In this study, we effectively reduce the computational time demonstrated by the high convergence curve while maintaining optimal outcomes by integrating the hybrid fitness function with multi-level thresholding using the Electric Eel Foraging Optimization (EEFO) approach to segment the uncovered region of masked face images. …”
