Salima Nebti . Bio-Inspired Algorithms for Color Image Segmentation. International Journal of Computer Applications. 73, 18 ( July 2013), 11-16. DOI=10.5120/12840-9810
Effective image segmentation remains a challenging process as it constitutes a critical step to higher level image processing applications such as pattern recognition. In this paper,we present bio-inspired formulationto perform unsupervised image segmentation. Specifically,we used the Quantum PSO, the hybrid Gravitational PSO algorithm, a cooperative gravitational approach and the bees approach as powerful global classifiers to optimize the partition of image data into homogenous regions. The segmentation accuracy based on the bees' algorithm has the highest accuracy.
