Abstract

Soft Computing becomes visible in the field of computer science. The soft computing (SC) comprises of several basic methods such as Fuzzy logic (FL), Evolutionary Computation (EC) and Machine Learning (ML). Soft computing has many real-world applications in domestic, commercial and industrial situations. Edge detection in image processing is the most important applications where soft computing becomes popular. Edge detection decreases the measure of information and filters out undesirable information and gives the desirable information in an image. In image processing edge detection is a fundamental step. For this, high level Computational Intelligence based edge detections methods are required for different images. Computational Intelligence deals with ambiguous and low cost solution. The mind of the human is the key factor of the soft computing. In this paper, we included Binary particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO), Distinct Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Ant Colony optimization (ACO) techniques. The ground truth images are taken as reference edge images and all the edge images acquired by different computational intelligent techniques for edge detection systems are contrasted with reference edge image with ascertain the Precision, Recall and F-Score. The techniques are tested on 100 test images from the BSD500 datasets. Experimental results show that the BPSO provides promising results in comparison with the other techniques such as DPSO, GA and ACO.
