Abstract

Digital image processing is a research topic that has been studied from different perspectives. In this paper we propose an approach based on a paradigm that arises from artificial life; more specifically ant colonies foraging behavior. Ant based algorithms have shown interesting results in a wide variety of situations, including optimization and clustering. In this work we compare different ant colony algorithms on a set of images, for the detection of edges. Results are presented as images, in which ants have built specific solutions, and discussed within an image-processing framework. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
