Abstract

In this paper, an algorithm built on the notion of evolutionary system is proposed. During the evolution of distributed tribes, the individuals making up the tribes cooperatively effect pixel communication from one agent to the other in order to improve the homogeneity of the ensemble of the image regions that they represent. The proposed Artificial Coevolving Tribes, containing evolution, mature, propagate, and die, is explored in the context of image. Meanwhile, the given image is recognized and segmented. Stability and scale control of the algorithm is maintained. Results obtained on natural scenes are presented with the evolutionary process.
