Abstract

To address the issue that the coupled neural P system relies on the selection of initial seed points when using the spiking mechanism for region growing. This paper proposes an image segmentation method based on adaptive region growing coupled neural P systems (ARGCNP) . This method employs the global search capability of the golden jackal optimization (GJO) algorithm and introduces four strategies to enhance the global optimization performance of GJO. The aim is to identify the optimal threshold points in the image to optimize the selection of seed points in region growing. The experiments first evaluate the performance of the improved GJO on the CEC2017 benchmark functions, and show that it achieves the best overall performance. The proposed method then applies ARGCNP to the segmentation of both color and medical images, and quantitatively assesses the segmentation performance using three evaluation metrics, including peak signal-to-noise ratio. The results demonstrate that the proposed method improves segmentation accuracy and enhances the stability of the results, confirming that ARGCNP offers clear advantages in practical applications and effectively meets the requirements of image segmentation tasks.
