Abstract :
An approach of ant colony optimization combing gradient and relative difference of statistical means to image edge detection is proposed in this paper. The values of gradient and the relative difference of statistical means are extracted for the ants´ searching. Experimental results show that the superior performances of the proposed algorithm.
