What is Expense Function

Handbook of Research on Artificial Immune Systems and Natural Computing: Applying Complex Adaptive Technologies
The expense function of the segmentation image is consisted of the information of region distribution and edge distribution, it is defined as. . Where,is the gray variance of region, is the number of the segmentation regions, so the expense function of the region distribution is the summation of the gray variance of all the regions. And theis the expense function of the edge distribution. At each pixel, is defined as the weighted sums.

Abstract
In fact, image segmentation can be regarded as a constrained optimization problem, and a series of optimization strategies can be used to complete the task of image segmentation. Traditional evolutionary algorithm represented by Genetic Algorithm is an efficient approach for image segmentation, but in the practical application, there are many problems such as the slow convergence speed of evolutionary algorithm and premature convergence, which have greatly constrained the application. The goal of introducing immunity into the existing intelligent algorithms is to utilize some characteristics and knowledge in the pending problems for restraining the degenerative phenomena during evolution so as to improve the algorithmic efficiency. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that immune programming outperforms the existing optimization algorithms in global convergence speed and is conducive to alleviating the degeneration phenomenon. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that immune programming has better global optimization and outperforms the existing optimization algorithms in alleviating the degeneration phenomenon. It is a feasible and effective method of image segmentation.
