Combining Cellular Automata and Particle Swarm Optimization for Edge Detection
Safia Djemame, Mohamed Batouche · 2012
Cellular Automata can be successfully applied in image processing. In this paper, we propose a new edge detection algorithm, based on cellular automata to extract edges of different types of images, using a totalistic transition rule. The metaheuristic PSO is used to find out the optimal and appropriate transition rules set of cellular automata for edge detection task. This combination increases the efficiency of the algorithm, and ensures its convergence to an optimal edge as shown in various experiments. Comparisons are made with standard methods (Canny) and other algorithms based on
