Ant Colony Optimization based MRI Brain Image Despeckling
Keywords:
MRI, ACO, Median Filter, MaskingAbstract
This paper determines the Magnetic resonance image despeckling issues with ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) in wavelet domain.this paper proposes the approach for image noise redduction with comaparion of generalized unsupervised masking used median filter. This method consists three approaches. firstly, it masks the image ,secondly applies ant searching then and finally denoise it. Proposed method is automatically adpt to observing image data in lieu of imposed assumptions of image data. experimental results included for the comparisons of this approach.
