Abstract

Image segmentation is the key step for image processing to image analysis. In order to deal with the difficulties in automatic selection and the vast computation of multi- threshold image segmentationïŒa multi-threshold segmentation algorithm based on Ant Colony is proposed. Compared with traditional multi-threshold segmentation algorithm, the proposed algorithm has better segmentation result and decreases the computation greatly. The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm given in this paper can cope with multil-threshold image segmentation efficiently and rapidly.
