Paper Abstract
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a computational method used for optimization problems. The ACO algorithm
uses virtual ants to create candidate solutions that are represented by paths on a mathematical graph. We develop
an algorithm using ACO that takes a multispectral image as input and outputs a cluster map denoting a cluster
label for each pixel. The algorithm does this through identication of a series of one dimensional manifolds on
the spectral data cloud via the ACO approach, and then associates pixels to these paths based on their spectral
similarity to the paths. We apply the algorithm to multispectral imagery to divide the pixels into clusters based
on their representation by a low dimensional manifold estimated by the best t ant path" through the data
cloud. We present results from application of the algorithm to a multispectral Worldview-2 image and show that
it produces useful cluster maps.
