Swarm intelligence studies collective behaviors in biological systems
that consist of a population of individuals that interact with one
another, as well as with their environment. Various algorithms have been
developed to model such swarm systems, including ant colonies, schools
of fish, colonies of honey bees, and so on. Image and video processing
is a very important research area due to the rapid development of image
sensors and visual communication techniques. Inspirations from swarm
intelligence have been used in recent years to address challenging
real-world image and video processing problems. There are a number of
critical issues regarding the modeling of swarm evolutionary systems,
the formulation of image and video processing problems, the design of
efficient optimization algorithms, and so on. This special issue aims to
provide a collection of high quality research articles that address the
broad challenges in both theoretical and application aspects of swarm
intelligence in image and video processing.
