This paper proposes a modified artificial bee colony optimizer (MABC) by combining bee-to-bee communication pattern and multipopulation cooperative mechanism. In the bee-to-bee communication model, with the enhanced information exchange strategy, individuals can share more information from the elites through the Von Neumann topology. With the multipopulation cooperative mechanism, the hierarchical colony with different topologies can be structured, which can maintain diversity of the whole community. The experimental results on comparing the MABC to several successful EA and SI algorithms on a set of benchmarks demonstrated the advantage of the MABC algorithm. Furthermore, we employed the MABC algorithm to resolve the multilevel image segmentation problem. Experimental results of the new method on a variety of images demonstrated the performance superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Segmentation of noisy images is one of the most challenging problems in image analysis. It hasn’t yet been solved very well. In this paper, we propose a new method for image segmentation, which is able to segment two kinds of noisy images. The experimental results prove that Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm performs better for two types of noisy images.

This paper presents a novel optimization algorithm, namely, hierarchical artificial bee colony optimization (HABC), for multilevel threshold image segmentation, which employs a pool of optimal foraging strategies to extend the classical artificial bee colony framework to a cooperative and hierarchical fashion. In the proposed hierarchical model, the higher-level species incorporates the enhanced information exchange mechanism based on crossover operator to enhance the global search ability between species. In the bottom level, with the divide-and-conquer approach, each subpopulation runs the original ABC method in parallel to part-dimensional optimum, which can be aggregated into a complete solution for the upper level. The experimental results for comparing HABC with several successful EA and SI algorithms on a set of benchmarks demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Furthermore, we applied the HABC to the multilevel image segmentation problem. Experimental results of the new algorithm on a variety of images demonstrated the performance superiority of the proposed algorithm.

As a novel swarm intelligence algorithm, artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm inspired by individual division of labor and information exchange during the process of honey collection has advantage of simple structure, less control parameters, and excellent performance characteristics and can be applied to neural network, parameter optimization, and so on. In order to further improve the exploration ability of ABC, an artificial bee colony algorithm with random location updating (RABC) is proposed in this paper, and the modified search equation takes a random location in swarm as a search center, which can expand the search range of new solution. In addition, the chaos is used to initialize the swarm population, and diversity of initial population is improved. Then, the tournament selection strategy is adopted to maintain the population diversity in the evolutionary process. Through the simulation experiment on a suite of unconstrained benchmark functions, the results show that the proposed algorithm not only has stronger exploration ability but also has better effect on convergence speed and optimization precision, and it can keep good robustness and validity with the increase of dimension.
