基于基准点的蚂蚁算法在胎儿脊柱裂超声图像边缘检测中的应用

摘要

The spinal bifida in the ultrasound images is usually blur and difficult to discern and analyze. A new algorithm which is based on the ant colony algorithm(ACA) for extracting the edges of spinal bifida in ultrasound images is presented. Taking the characters of ultrasound images into account, the method of setting up the pheromone and the food-source is developed and the algorithm is elaborated. Compared with other image segmentation algorithms, such as the Sobel operator, this new method can achieve better segmentation results.%胎儿脊柱裂超声图像一般较为模糊不易判断识别,该文基于蚁群算法,提出了一种新的胎儿脊柱裂超声图像边沿检测方法.针对超声图像特点,算法对信息素及食物源的设置进行了改进,阐述了该算法,同时将检测结果与Sobel算法的结果进行了比较,实验证明该改进的蚂蚁算法提取出了清晰的胎儿脊柱裂的边沿.
