Abstract

In this paper, we give a solution for the segmentation problem using membrane computing techniques. There is an important difference with respect to the solution presented in Christinal et al. [6], we use multiple membranes. Hence, the parallel behavior of the algorithm with respect to the previous works has been improved.
