Ant Colony Optimization Approaches to Clustering of Lung Nodules from CT Images
Algorithm 5
Refined ant colony optimization algorithm.
Input: Lung CT image. | Output: Edge detected image using refined ACO algorithm. | begin | Initialize threshold for performance | do | apply Ant Colony Optimization algorithm (given in Algorithm 4) | get the output of previous iteration as the input to the next iteration | compare two subsequent outputs | while (threshold is not equal to difference value) | output of last iteration is the output of refined Ant Colony Optimization algorithm | end |
