An Advanced Whale Optimization Algorithm for Grayscale Image Enhancement.
Article in Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Image enhancement is an important step in image processing to improve contrast and information quality. Intelligent enhancement algorithms are gaining popularity due to the limitations of traditional methods. This paper utilizes a transformation function to enhance the global and local information of grayscale images, but the parameters of this function can produce significant changes in the processed images. To address this, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is employed for parameter optimization. New equations are incorporated into WOA to improve its global optimization capability, and exemplars and advanced spiral updates improve the convergence of the algorithm. Its performance is validated on four different types of images. The algorithm not only outperforms comparison algorithms in the objective function but also excels in other image enhancement metrics, including peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), feature similarity index (FSIM), structural similarity index (SSIM), and patch-based contrast quality index (PCQI). It is superior to the comparison algorithms in 11, 6, 11, 13, and 7 images in these metrics, respectively. The results demonstrate that the algorithm is suitable for image enhancement both subjectively and statistically.
