Abstract
There is a lot of discussion in the literature on the advantages of one soft computing technique over the other. Number of new meta heuristic algorithms are made available for solving different optimization problems. But always there is some ambiguity in deciding which technique is better than the other to solve a specific optimization problem in a particular context. A new methodology has been proposed in this paper which provides some theoretical frame work to use multiple optimization techniques at the same time onto a single optimization problem. This new approach has been implemented to solve image enhancement problem in a fingerprint. First the methodology of this new approach has been described then the application of the proposed methodology is presented with some experimental results.
