Water Cycle Bat Algorithm and Dictionary-Based Deformable Model for Lung Tumor Segmentation

Algorithm 1

Pseudocode of the proposed algorithm.

Input: Rain drop population and initial parameters

Output: Optimal solution

Begin:

Initialize a population from rain drop, sea and river

Estimate fitness function

Estimate a cost of each rain drop based on equation (8)

Establish intensity of flow for rivers and sea based on equation (9)

Stream flow to river is carried out by equation (10)

River flow to sea is done by equation (21)

Replace position of river and sea

Check evaporation condition

If

Perform training process using equation (23) and (24)

End if

Replace user defined parameter

Check feasibility of solution

End.
