Bacterial Foraging Based Edge Detection for Cell Image Segmentat...

Edge detection is the most popular and common choices for cell image segmentation, in which local searching strategies are commonly used. In spite of their computational efficiency, traditional edge detectors, however, may either produce discontinued edges or rely heavily on initializations. In this paper, we propose a bacterial foraging based edge detection(BFED) algorithm for cell image segmentation. We model the gradients of intensities as the nutrient concentration and propel bacteria to for
