Abstract: Multi-threshold segmentation for color image plays a very important role in various applications.Traditional multi-threshold segmentation algorithm has the problem that the segmentation time increases sharply with the increase of the number of threshold.To overcome the problem,this paper proposes a multi-threshold segmentation algorithm for color image based on improved tree-seed algorithm (ITSA),and takes OTSU as obJective functions.In order to improve the search speed and accuracy of the basic tree-seed algorithm (TSA),a new self- adaptive search tendency constant is presented to balance the ability of local search and global search.The performance of ITSA is tested on five basic test images and compared with TSA,particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution (DE) algorithm.Experimental results show that ITSA is better than TSA,PSO and DE algorithm on color image multi-threshold segmentation.The OTSU and ITSA based method is a good algorithm for colorima-ge multi-threshold segmentation.

Key words: Color image, Color image multi-threshold segmentation, Search tendency constant, Self-adaption, Tree-seed algorithm
