![Vitorino Ramos - "A Strange Metamorphosis" [From Kafka to Red Ant] - Swarm Intelligence in Image Perception, Image Analysis, Contour Detection and Pattern Recognition](K2RA.jpg)
Fig. - "A Strange Metamorphosis"
[From Kafka 2 Red Ant]. Created
with an Artificial Ant Colony, that uses images as Habitats, being
sensible to their gray levels. At the second row, "Kafka" image is
replaced as a substrate, by "Red Ant". In black, the higher levels of
pheromone (a chemical evaporative sugar substance used by swarms on
their orientation trought out the trails). It’s exactly this artificial
evaporation and the computational ant collective group sinergy
realocating their upgrades of pheromone at interesting places, that
allows for the emergence of adaptation and "perception" of new images.
Only some of the 6000 iterations processed are represented. The system
does not have any type of hierarchy, and ants communicate only in
indirect forms, through out the sucessive alteration that they found on
the Habitat. (full article).

Fig. - One application example among
others on Genetic algorithms applied to Image Segmentation: detecting Melanoma
Skin Cancer by Colour Cube Evolved Image Segmentation. Two types of
information are crucial; perimeter evolution of the skin mark and his
colour evolution, on time (both can be adressed by this technique) [on
the left the original and noisy image with flash obtained from an
regular photo camera, and on the rigth the Evolutionary colour
segmentation Algorithm result]. (full article).
