A new Swarm Intelligence algorithm for image alignment
Giovanni Da San Martino, Franco Alberto Cardillo, Antonina Starita · 2006
Swarm Intelligence is the emergent collective intelligence of groups composed of simple and quasi-independent agents. Algorithms following this paradigm show many desirable properties: flexibility, decentralized control, robustness, fault tolerance. This paper presents a new agent coordination model loosely inspired by the way some species of ants collectively transport large preys. The model is used to build a Swarm Intelligence algorithm for the problem of image alignment. The novelty of the approach and its effectiveness are discussed. (4 pages)
