Abstract

In this paper a new algorithm for edge detection using ant colony search is proposed. First, an initial ants' site determination is imposed at beginning of ACS working that can reduce the ants' number and make the ant close to edge's neighborhood. In edge detection process, some unapparent edges should be regard as a gap in the whole line, or noise changed the continuity of the line, therefore we add inertia-based information to the ant's memory. The ant takes a directional accumulation of inertia information that driving ants to bridge the gap. And bigger inertia, longer gap span. With inertia information applied in ACS, the edge detected has more integral and the experiment approves it.
