The invention relates to an
image edge detection method based on a
memristor array
ant colony
algorithm, and belongs to the technical field of
image processing and
computer vision. The
memristor has the characteristics of programmability, non-volatility and high-density arrangement, and fusion of storage and calculation can be realized. And each
ant selects an optimal path for edge search in the image according to the pixel contrast as a
heuristic factor. Through the
memristor array, parallel path selection and
pheromone updating of the
ant colony optimization
algorithm are realized, a plurality of pixel points of the image can be processed at the same time, and the calculation efficiency is greatly improved. According to the invention, large-scale path selection and updating are carried out by using the
parallel computing capability of memristor elements through a cross array structure. According to the method, finer image edges can be detected, and meanwhile, the method has remarkable advantages in the aspects of calculation speed and
energy consumption. The method can be applied to the fields of
image processing, mode recognition and
artificial intelligence, and has high practical value and wide application prospect.
