In this paper, we describe the preprocessing of handwritten document by contrast enhancement while preserving detail with an improved chicken swarm optimization algorithm.The results of the algorithm are compared with other existing meta heuristic algorithms like Cuckoo Search, Firefly Algorithm and the Artificial bee colony. The proposed algorithm considerably outperforms all the above by giving good results.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.00802v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.00802v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-improved-chicken-swarm-optimization","repo_url":"https://github.com/mugishastanley/Chicken-Swarm-Algortihm-for-Image-Enhancement","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"image-enhancement","task_name":"Image Enhancement"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"firefly-algorithm","method_name":"Firefly algorithm"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
