The parameter <math>\lambda</math> in each of above functions adjusts the functions’ respective shapes.<br />Step 2 Construction process:<br />The ant's movement is based on 4-connected pixels or 8-connected pixels. The probability with which the ant moves is given by the probability equation <math>P_{x,y}</math><br />Step 3 and Step 5 Update process:<br />The pheromone matrix is updated twice. in step 3 the trail of the ant (given by <math>\tau_{(x,y)}</math> ) is updated where as in step 5 the evaporation rate of the trail is updated which is given by the below equation.<br /><math> | The parameter <math>\lambda</math> in each of above functions adjusts the functions’ respective shapes.<br />Step 2 Construction process:<br />The ant's movement is based on 4-connected pixels or 8-connected pixels.
