Abstract:In this work, we use the principles of Swarm Intelligence to establish a novel algorithm for detecting and describing straight edges in images. The algorithm uses a set of individual mobile agents with limited cognitive possibilities. Using their memory and communication abilities, the agents can establish fast and robust solutions. The agents initially move randomly in a two dimensional space defined by an arbitrary input image or image sequence. In every time step, each agent calculates the derivative values… Show more
