I need mat-lab code for image segmentation using artificial bee colony algorithm.please help

Abstract

This chapter explores the use of the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm to compute pixel classification for image segmentation. ABC is a heuristic algorithm motivated by the intelligent behaviour of honey-bees which has been successfully employed to solve complex optimization problems. In this approach, an image 1-D histogram is approximated through a Gaussian mixture model whose parameters are calculated by the ABC algorithm. For the approximation scheme, each Gaussian function represents a pixel class and therefore a threshold. Unlike the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, the ABC-based method shows fast convergence and low sensitivity to initial conditions. Remarkably, it also improves complex time-consuming computations commonly required by gradient-based methods. Experimental results demonstrate the algorithm’s ability to perform automatic multi-threshold selection yet showing interesting advantages by comparison to other well-known algorithms.
