Artificial Bee Colony algorithm for curve reconstruction

There are four main processes involved during the reconstruction of bitmap images, which include boundary detection, corner points detection, parameterization and curve fitting. This paper presents the use of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm during the process of parameterization and cubic Bezier curve was used for the reconstruction of generic shapes by using Least Square method. Since the purpose of this study is to minimize the distance between boundary of the original image and parametric curve, Sum Square Error (SSE) has been used to calculate the error given by these two curves. The results obtained by using ABC algorithm will be compared with the results obtained when using chord length method during the parameterization process. Note that, for the comparison purpose, the same images have been used and the procedure remains the same except for parameterization process. The finding of this study illustrates that the proposed method has successfully generated fitted cubic Bezier curve that resem...
