An enhanced artificial bee colony algorithm using radial bases function neural networks for color image segmentation

Abstract

The aim of segmentation process is to partition the image into homogeneous regions or objects. The proposed segmentation algorithms using adaptive feature weighting to distinguish the significance of various features. To extract effective feature extraction could be used for establishing regions in region based image segmentation. The main goal of this exploration work is to segment objects that separating the foreground and background of the color images. The segmentation for color images is focused on the Enhanced Artificial Bee Colony segmentation algorithm that utilizes the Radial Basis Function (EABCRBF) neural network algorithm. This work arranges RBF neural networks to predict the end limits of the segmentation, which are formed from the artificial bee colony province made in the image histogram topography. The radial basis function initial parameters, for instance, centers and widths are automatically set upon the histogram peaks and minima. The proposed EABCRBF strategy is compared with two existing techniques of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM). The EABCRBF method gives great outcomes for color image segmentation as it extracts additional information from color images. The experimentation results are shown through Mat Lab R2013a.
