Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a method that imitates the foraging behavior of ants that can be applied to improve the edge detection. Generally, pheromone of ants is guided by local variation in image intensity which is less sensitive for detect edge, thus we need addition of edge information. In this study we propose Directional ACO (DACO) which uses the addition of edge information based on gradient magnitude and direction. In the proposed method, the weight of gradient magnitude and directional initialized firstly, and then ant construct edge using probabilistic which is not only considered by pheromone and local variation of intensity, but also gradient magnitude and direction. in the each iteration, the edge is constructed by applying a threshold using Otsu. Final edge is determined if the difference of edge number has reach a threshold. Experiments were conducted using images from private synthetic dataset and CID’s natural image dataset*. Figure of merit was used to evaluate quantitatively performance of the proposed method. The experiment showed that DACO reached 0.812 (81.2%), whereas standard ACO reached 0.494 (49.4%). Experiment results showed that DACO outperforms standard ACO.

MNK Publication was founded in 2012 to upholder revolutionary ideas that would advance the research and practice of business and management. Today, we comply with to advance fresh thinking in latest scientific fields where we think we can make a real difference and growth now also including medical and social care, education,management and engineering.
We offers several opportunities for partnership and tie-up with individual, corporate and organizational level. We are working on the open access platform. Editors, authors, readers, librarians and conference organizer can work together. We are giving open opportunities to all. Our team is always willing to work and collaborate to promote open access publication.
Our Journals provide one of the strongest International open access platform for research communities. Our conference proceeding services provide conference organizers a privileged platform for publishing extended conference papers as journal publications. It is deliberated to disseminate scientific research and to establish long term International collaborations and partnerships with academic communities and conference organizers.
