This paper presents a novel technique to detect irregular shell clusters using an algorithm that is inspired by Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Till now major work on shell clustering has been based on regular shells using a fuzzy-based technique. However the proposed algorithm can separate irregular shell clusters from the solid clusters very efficiently. The algorithm is tested on seven test images and it is seen to give very good results.
