Abstract
Image segmentation is an essential technique and plays vital role in image analysis system and computer vision. Image segmentation is to partitions an input image into its constituent parts and extracting useful information from complex images. Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a cooperative search algorithm inspired by the behaviour of real ants. In order to achieve an approving performance of ACO is global optimization algorithm to solve image segmentation problems. Consequently, the image segmentation can be performed more effectively by finding disease in medical images by using conventional optimization algorithms. The proposed method has been successfully applied to detect the tumour from brain images by using image segmentation techniques. Experimental results show that the proposed segmentation methods produce satisfactory outcome.
