This study integrates a tunicate swarm algorithm (TSA) with a local escaping operator (LEO) for overcoming the weaknesses of the original TSA. The LEO strategy in TSA-LEO prevents searching deflation in TSA and improves the convergence rate and local search efficiency of swarm agents. The efficiency of the proposed TSA-LEO was verified on the CEC'2017 test suite, and its performance was compared with seven metaheuristic algorithms (MAs). The comparisons revealed that LEO significantly helps TSA by improving the quality of its solutions and accelerating the convergence rate. TSA-LEO was further tested on a real-world problem, namely, segmentation based on the objective functions of Otsu and Kapur. A set of well-known evaluation metrics was used to validate the performance and segmentation quality of the proposed TSA-LEO. The proposed TSA-LEO outperforms other MA algorithms in terms of fitness, peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity, feature similarity, and segmentation findings.
