An image segmentation method based on the OTSU and improved genetic algorithm (GA) is presented. The OTSU is taken as evaluation function and the segmentation problem is turned to the optimization problem. That is, GA efficiently searches the segmentation parameter space in order to obtain the optimal threshold. On the other hand, to overcome some limitation of GA, elite reinsertion is applied. The experimental results indicate that the method can not only obtain a better result, but also shorten the processing time.
