Abstract: In order to improve the accuracy of image edge detection, this paper proposes a color image edge detection algorithm based on K-means ant colony optimization. By embedding the clustering in edge detection, the two kinds of algorithms about image segmentation are combined effectively and the advantages are enhanced. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm solves the problem of slow convergence in traditional ACO. Compared with the typical segmentation methods, it also better retains the image edge details and reduces the computational complexity, which has a better performance.
