Abstract
- Weather describes the condition of our atmosphere during a specific period of time, and climate represents a composite of day to day weather over longer period of time. Climatology attempts to analyze and explain the impact of climate so that the society can plan accordingly. Climatology analysis is often done on radar images representing various climatic conditions. These images contain varying scale of severity for any specific climatic parameter of study. The climatologists often find it convenient to analyze climatic conditions if tools are available to segment the weather images based on the severity scale which is represented by different colors. Segmentation of the weather radar image is also used for automated analysis of weather conditions. Differential evolution (DE) approach instead is used for fast selection of optimal threshold. In present paper, we have applied DE with multilevel thresholding for weather image segmentation which results in minimum computational time and excellent image quality. A new mutation strategy for DE named reconstructed differential evolution (RDE) strategy is suggested for better performance over image segmentation. Using fuzzy entropy and RDE for multilevel thresholding provides better results in comparison with last suggested methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
