A modified ant colony optimization based approach for image edge detection

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is used to detect edges in digital images. Such techniques generate a pheromone matrix that represents the edge information at each pixel position on the routes formed by ants dispatched on the image. In this paper a modified ACO-based edge detection is proposed. Ants t...

Abstract Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is used to detect edges in digital images. Such techniques generate a pheromone matrix that represents the edge information at each pixel position on the routes formed by ants dispatched on the image. In this paper a modified ACO-based edge detection is proposed. Ants try to find possible edges by using a heuristic information based on the degree of edginess of each pixel. The proposed ACO-based approach also takes advantage of the fuzzy clustering to determine whether a pixel is edge or not. Experimental results demonstrate superior performance of the proposed approach.
