Image segmentation plays a pivotal role in medical image analysis, particularly for accurately isolating tumors and lesions. Effective segmentation improves diagnostic precision and facilitates quantitative analysis, which is vital for medical professionals. However, traditional segmentation methods often struggle with multilevel thresholding due to the associated computational complexity. Therefore, determining the optimal threshold set is an NP-hard problem, highlighting the pressing need for efficient optimization strategies to overcome these challenges. This paper introduces a multi-threshold image segmentation (MTIS) method that integrates a hybrid approach combining Differential Evolution (DE) and the Crayfish Optimization Algorithm (COA), known as HADECO. Utilizing two-dimensional (2D) Kapur's entropy and a 2D histogram, this method aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent image analysis and diagnosis. HADECO is a hybrid algorithm that combines DE and COA by exchanging information based on predefined rules, leveraging the strengths of both for superior optimization results. It employs Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) to generate a high-quality initial population. HADECO introduces an improved DE algorithm (IDE) with adaptive and dynamic adjustments to key DE parameters and new mutation strategies to enhance its search capability. In addition, it incorporates an adaptive COA (ACOA) with dynamic adjustments to the switching probability parameter, effectively balancing exploration and exploitation. To evaluate the effectiveness of HADECO, its performance is initially assessed using CEC’22 benchmark functions. HADECO is evaluated against several contemporary algorithms using the Wilcoxon signed rank test (WSRT) and the Friedman test (FT) to integrate the results. The findings highlight HADECO's superior optimization abilities, demonstrated by its lowest average Friedman ranking of 1.08. Furthermore, the HADECO-based MTIS method is evaluated using M

In autonomous driving, accurately interpreting the movements of other road users and leveraging this knowledge to forecast future trajectories is crucial. This is typically achieved through the integration of map data and tracked trajectories of various agents. Numerous methodologies combine this information into a singular embedding for each agent, which is then utilized to predict future behavior. However, these approaches have a notable drawback in that they may lose exact location information during the encoding process. The encoding still includes general map information. However, the generation of valid and consistent trajectories is not guaranteed. This can cause the predicted trajectories to stray from the actual lanes. This paper introduces a new refinement module designed to project the predicted trajectories back onto the actual map, rectifying these discrepancies and leading towards more consistent predictions. This versatile module can be readily incorporated into a wide range of architectures. Additionally, we propose a novel scene encoder that handles all relations between agents and their environment in a single unified heterogeneous graph attention network. By analyzing the attention values on the different edges in this graph, we can gain unique insights into the neural network’s inner workings leading towards a more explainable prediction.
