Abstract: A system and method of 3-D image segmentation of brain images includes obtaining a 3-D MRI image, an employee phase including performing search cycles of generating solutions in a neighborhood, taking into account (a) movement of a bee's current location toward a mean value of a positive direction of a global best location and a positive direction of its own best location, (b) movement of the bee's current location toward the mean value of the positive direction of its own best location and a negative direction of the global best location, and (c) a random number, calculating a fitness value for the solutions based on membership values of pixels and distances between the pixels to cluster centers of pixels until search ends. Image segmentation of the image is performed using centers of clusters.
