摘要
In this paper a new algorithm for edge detection using ant colony search is proposed. The problem is represented by a directed graph in which nodes are the pixels of an image. To adapt the problem, some modifications on original ant colony search algorithm (ACSA) are applied. A large number of experiments are employed to determine suitable algorithm parameters. We drive an experimental relationship between the size of the image to be analyzed and algorithm parameters. Several experiments are made and the results suggest the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
