Enhanced ant colony optimization improves melanoma image segmentation

Melanoma, a type of cancerous tumor, presents challenges in accurately segmenting medical images due to the presence of non-uniformly distributed noise.

This approach aims to efficiently identify multiple threshold values for image segmentation. To evaluate […]
