Image Edge Detection using Modified Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm based on Weighted Heuristics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is nature inspired algorithm based on foraging behavior of ants. The algorithm is based on the fact how ants deposit pheromone while searching for food. ACO generates a pheromone matrix which gives the edge information present at each pixel position of image, formed by ants dispatched on image. The movement of ants depends on local variance of image’s intensity value. This paper proposes an improved method based on heuristic which assigns weight to the neighborhood. Experimental results are provided to support the superior performance of the proposed approach.

Noisy images edge detection: Ant colony optimization algorithm
The edges of an image define the image boundary. When the image is noisy, it does not become easy to identify the edges. Therefore, a method requests to be developed that can identify edges clearly in a noisy image. Many methods have been proposed earlier using filters, transforms and wavelets with Ant colony optimization (ACO) that detect edges. We here used ACO for edge detection of noisy ima...
