Abstract

To solve white blood cell scanning routing problem, an improved optimization algorithm based on ant colony algorithm was proposed. The shortest equivalent time was selected as evaluating function. Pheromone updating rule and convergence strategy were added as well. Four algorithms were applied to the same WBC image frame and series of WBC image frames. The experimental results prove the effectiveness and excellence of the improved algorithm.
