A Multi-Agent System for Image Segmentation A Bio-Inspired Approach

چکیده
We explore the artificial life domain which opens new horizons to find bio-inspired solutions to image processing problems. Besides the ants which were successfully used, we investigate a new approach based on the interaction of social spiders, where we adapt the collective web weaving to an image segmentation on regions. Spiders were successfully used to extract regions on grey level images. We resume this method and try to adapt it for an image segmentation. The spiders which are considered as simple, autonomous agents, in limited perception, communicate by stigmergy of the silk that they weave, and so build several webs comparable to regions on an image.

An Automated MR Image Segmentation System Using Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network
Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...

This paper describes a bio-inspired method that enables the production of artificial multiagent organisms starting from a single agent. This method relies on two complementary computing approaches: (1) mimicking the functioning of segmentation genes and homeotic genes in the development of natural embryos and (2) using techniques from the evolutionary computing and the artificial embryogeny fie...

متن کاملUne approche multi-agent pour la segmentation d’images de profondeur A Multi-agent Approach for Range Image Segmentation
In this paper, we present and evaluate a multi-agent approach for range image segmentation. The approach consists in using a population of autonomous agents to segment a range image in its planar regions. The agents adapt to the regions on which they move, then perform cooperative and competitive actions allowing a collective segmentation of the image. An artificial potential field is introduce...
متن کاملBio-Inspired Deployment of Software over Distributed Systems
This paper presents a middleware system for multi-agents on a distributed system as a general test-bed for bio-inspired approaches. The middleware is unique to other approaches, including distributed object systems, because it can maintain and migrate a dynamic federation of multiple agents on different computers. It enables each agent to explicitly define its own deployment policy as a relocat...
