The Potential Use of Bioinspired Algorithms Applied in the Segmentation of Mammograms

摘要

In this article, we present the potential use of bioinspired algorithms for segmentation. The comparison is done with 3 bioinspired algorithms and Otsu method, which is an algorithm currently used to perform image segmentation. The vast majority of bioinspired algorithms were designed for optimization, however in this work, an adjustment is done to use the function to be optimized as a function that allows us to segment an image. The results in this work showed that the bioinspired algorithms are a good alternative to perform the task of segmentation in medical images, specifically mammography.
