New MAAPO algorithm enhances image segmentation with bio-inspired optimization

Researchers have developed a new membrane algorithm called MAAPO, which integrates artificial protozoa optimizer (APO) with a membrane computing framework. This approach aims to enhance population diversity and search dynamics for complex optimization problems. The enhanced APO model utilizes a roulette-based fitness-distance balance mechanism for adaptive reference point selection, improving the algorithm's exploration-exploitation balance. MAAPO has demonstrated superior performance against 12 other algorithms on the CEC2017 test suite and has been successfully applied to multilevel threshold image segmentation, outperforming existing methods in segmentation quality.
