MatLab function for Multiple Image Segmentation using PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization), DPSO (Darwinian PSO), FO-DPSO (Fractional-Order DPSO) and exhaustive methods based on the image histogram shape. The exhaustive method is still in development. The exhaustive method is still in development.

Iout = segmentation(I)
Iout - segmented image.
I - any type of image with multiple intensity levels(e.g., grayscale, color).

[Iout,intensity] = segmentation(I)
intensity - returns the intensity that maximizes the between-class variance. size(intensity)=[size(I,3) level].

[Iout,intensity,fitness] = segmentation(I)
fitness - returns the fitness of the between-class variance. size(fitness)=[size(I,3) 1]

[Iout,intensity,fitness,time] = segmentation(I)
time - returns the CPU computation time
size(time)=[1 1]

[Iout,intensity] = segmentation(I,level)
level - segmentation level. Must be integer ... (Default 2). If level>2
then the segmented image Iout will be an RGB image.

[Iout,intensity] = segmentation(I,level,method)
method - choose the method to perform the multi-segmentation of the image. The pso, dpso, fodpso and exhaustive are the only ones implemented yet. Default pso).
...

Example: Iout = segmentation(I,4,'pso')
