New optimal algorithm of data association for multi-passive-sensor location system

The traditional multi-objective efficient global optimization (EGO) algorithms have been hybridized and adapted to solving the expensive aerodynamic shape optimization problems based on high-fidelity numerical simulations. Although the traditional EGO algorithms are highly efficient in solving some of the optimization problems with very complex landscape, it is not preferred to solve most of the aerodynamic shape optimization problems with relatively low-degree multi-modal design spaces. A new infill criterion encouraging more local exploitation has been proposed by hybridizing two traditional multi-objective expected improvements (EIs), namely, statistical multi-objective EI and expected hypervolume improvement, in order to improve their robustness and efficiency in aerodynamic shape optimization. Different analytical test problems and aerodynamic shape optimization problems have been investigated. In comparison with traditional multi-objective EI algorithms and a standard evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm, the proposed method is shown to be more robust and efficient in the tests due to its hybrid characteristics, easier handling of sub-optimization problems, and enhanced exploitation capability.

In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, people’s demand for the quality of daily production and life has gradually increased, and all localities are gradually urbanized. The convenient use of water conservancy, transportation, environment, medical treatment, power grid and other aspects of cities in any country affects people’s healthy life. Therefore, it is urgent to build a smart city. For smart city, intelligent identification and management is a very large and complex problem. As one of the high and new technologies, the intelligent recognition of machine vision derived from artificial intelligence has always been a hot spot of great concern. It just provides convenience for the development of smart city and becomes the development direction of smart city construction in the future. Based on this, the role of machine vision is to connect with the computer through wireless sensors such as cameras to simulate an eye that can represent human visual function. This simulated eye can be recognized intelligently in real time. It transmits the recognized information to the computer, and the computer will analyze and process the obtained information for judgment and recognition. This paper will mainly use the optimal threshold segmentation algorithm based on Machine Vision video processing to solve the problem of urban intelligent recognition, and use a specific algorithm to solve some difficulties and obstacles in intelligent recognition. The traditional optimal threshold segmentation algorithm, the optimal threshold segmentation algorithm and the improved optimal threshold segmentation algorithm are experimentally compared. After experimental comparison, it is found that the optimal threshold segmentation algorithm, the improved optimal threshold segmentation algorithm and the traditional optimal threshold segmentation algorithm can intelligently identify the types of buildings and urban traffic signs in the city, Compared with the improved optimal threshold segmentation algorithm, the improved optimal threshold segmentation algorithm improves the response speed, real-time performance, stability and accuracy of the algorithm. Therefore, the optimal threshold segmentation algorithm after the well meets the needs of building the system, and can be useful in the process of intelligent recognition. This improvement is also necessary, which is conducive to the subsequent system construction.

Optimizing multi-chiller dispatch in HVAC system using equilibrium optimization algorithm

With the development of science and technology, many optimization problems in real life have developed into high-dimensional optimization problems. The meta-heuristic optimization algorithm is regarded as an effective method to solve high-dimensional optimization problems. However, considering that traditional meta-heuristic optimization algorithms generally have problems such as low solution accuracy and slow convergence speed when solving high-dimensional optimization problems, an adaptive dual-population collaborative chicken swarm optimization (ADPCCSO) algorithm is proposed in this paper, which provides a new idea for solving high-dimensional optimization problems. First, in order to balance the algorithm’s search abilities in terms of breadth and depth, the value of parameter G is given by an adaptive dynamic adjustment method. Second, in this paper, a foraging-behavior-improvement strategy is utilized to improve the algorithm’s solution accuracy and depth-optimization ability. Third, the artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA) is introduced to construct a dual-population collaborative optimization strategy based on chicken swarms and artificial fish swarms, so as to improve the algorithm’s ability to jump out of local extrema. The simulation experiments on the 17 benchmark functions preliminarily show that the ADPCCSO algorithm is superior to some swarm-intelligence algorithms such as the artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA), the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm in terms of solution accuracy and convergence performance. In addition, the APDCCSO algorithm is also utilized in the parameter estimation problem of the Richards model to further verify its performance.

Hyperspectral remote sensing imagery, due to its rich source of spectral information, provides an efficient tool for land cover classifications in complex geographical areas. However, the high-dimensional space of this imagery poses two important challenges in the classification process: the Hughes phenomena and the existence of relevant and redundant features. The robustness of Support Vector Machines (SVM) in high-dimensional space makes them an efficient tool for classifying hyperspectral imagery. However, optimum SVM parameter determination and optimum feature selection are the two optimization issues that strongly effect SVM performance. Traditional optimization algorithms can discover optimum solutions in a limited search space with one local optimum. Nevertheless, in high-dimensional space traditional optimization algorithms usually get trapped in a local optimum, therefore it is necessary to apply meta-heuristic optimization algorithms to obtain near-global optimum solutions. This study evaluates the potential of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for determining SVM parameters and selecting features. Results obtained from AVIRIS and ROSIS hyperspectral datasets demonstrate the superior performance of SVM, achieved by simultaneously optimizing SVM parameters and subsets of the input feature. For comparison, the evaluation is also performed by applying it to other meta-heuristic optimization algorithms such as simulated annealing, tabu search, and genetic algorithm. The results demonstrate a better performance of the ACO-based algorithm in regards to improving the classification accuracy and decreasing the size of selected feature subsets.

Microstructure design using a human computation game

To address the challenges of accurately modeling the motion of deep-sea aquaculture vessels under the combined effects of dynamic disturbances from the external environment and coupled disturbances from the liquid levels within the aquaculture tanks, as well as the performance limitations of traditional Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC), this study proposes an improved Active Disturbance Rejection Control strategy based on the ADRC structure, and applies it to the design of the controller for the dynamic positioning system of aquaculture vessels. Furthermore, to tackle the issues of numerous uncertain parameters and tuning difficulties inherent in ADRC, an Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm (IWOA) is introduced for parameter tuning. The optimization algorithm incorporates a chaotic optimization strategy and an improved adaptive inertia weight ω with nonlinear characteristics, which simplifies the complex process of constructing an adaptive function in the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm and addresses the slow global search speed and poor local optimization ability of the traditional Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The final Simulink simulation results demonstrate that the ADRC controller designed with IWOA outperforms traditional WOA, GWO, and Genetic Algorithm-optimized ADRC controllers in terms of control effectiveness and disturbance rejection capability, improved the dynamic positioning control performance of aquaculture vessels.

Task scheduling is considered as one of the most critical problems in cloud computing environment. The main target of task scheduling includes scheduling jobs on virtual machines as well as improves performance. This study employed Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm with modifications on the fitness function by making it handles multi-objectives insingle fitness; the makespan and cost are the objectives included in the fitness in order to solve task scheduling problem. The main target of this technique is to reduce both cost and makespan. CloudSim tool is used to evaluate the objectives of the proposed method. The simulation results showed that the proposed method (Modified Grey Wolf Optimizer - MGWO) has better performance than both the traditional Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm (GWO) and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) with makespan based fitness in terms of makespan, cost and degree of imbalance.

Correct modelling and estimation of solar cell characteristics are crucial for effective performance simulations of PV panels, necessitating the development of creative approaches to improve solar energy conversion. When handling this complex problem, traditional optimisation algorithms have significant disadvantages, including a predisposition to get trapped in certain local optima. This paper develops the Mantis Search Algorithm (MSA), which draws inspiration from the unique foraging behaviours and sexual cannibalism of praying mantises. The suggested MSA includes three stages of optimisation: prey pursuit, prey assault, and sexual cannibalism. It is created for the R.TC France PV cell and the Ultra 85-P PV panel related to Shell PowerMax for calculating PV parameters and examining six case studies utilising the one-diode model (1DM), two-diode model (1DM), and three-diode model (3DM). Its performance is assessed in contrast to recently developed optimisers of the neural network optimisation algorithm (NNA), dwarf mongoose optimisation (DMO), and zebra optimisation algorithm (ZOA). In light of the adopted MSA approach, simulation findings improve the electrical characteristics of solar power systems. The developed MSA methodology improves the 1DM, 2DM, and 3DM by 12.4%, 44.05%, and 48.88%, 28.96%, 43.19%, and 55.81%, 37.71%, 32.71%, and 60.13% relative to the DMO, NNA, and ZOA approaches, respectively. For the Ultra 85-P PV panel, the designed MSA technique achieves improvements for the 1DM, 2DM, and 3DM of 62.05%, 67.14%, and 84.25%, 49.05%, 53.57%, and 74.95%, 37.03%, 37.4%, and 59.57% compared to the DMO, NNA, and ZOA techniques, respectively.

Many swarm intelligence optimisation algorithms have been inspired by the collective behaviour of natural and artificial, decentralised, self-organised systems. Swarm intelligence optimisation algorithms have unique advantages in solving certain complex problems that cannot be easily solved by traditional optimisation algorithms. Inspired by the adaptive phenomena of plants, a novel evolutionary algorithm named the bean optimisation algorithm (BOA) is proposed, which combines natural evolutionary tactics and limited random searches. It demonstrates stable behaviour in experiments and is a promising alternative to existing optimisation methods for engineering applications. A novel distribution model for BOA is built through research and study on the relevant research results of biostatistics. This model is based on a combination of the negative binomial and normal distributions, and the resulting algorithm is called NBOA. To validate NBOA, function optimisation experiments are carried out, which include ten typical benchmark functions. The results indicate that NBOA performs better than particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and BOA. We also investigate the characteristics of NBOA and conduct a contrast analysis to verify our conclusions about the relationship between its parameters and its performance.

In the context of Internet of Things (IoT), optimizing quality of service (QoS) parameters is a critical challenge due to its heterogeneous and resource-constrained nature. This paper proposes a novel quantum-inspired multi-objective optimization algorithm for IoT service management. Traditional multi-objective optimization algorithms often face limitations such as slow convergence and susceptibility to local optima, reducing their effectiveness in complex IoT environments. To address these issues, we introduce a quantum-inspired hybrid algorithm that combines the strengths of Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm (MOGWOA) and Multi-Objective Whale Optimization Algorithm (MOWOA), enhanced with quantum principles. This novel integration overcomes the limitations of traditional algorithms by improving convergence speed and avoiding local optima. The hybrid algorithm enhances QoS in IoT applications by achieving superior optimization in terms of energy efficiency, latency reduction, convergence, and coverage cost. The incorporation of quantum-inspired mechanisms, such as quantum position and behavior, strengthens the exploration and exploitation capabilities of the algorithm, enabling faster and more accurate optimization. Extensive simulations and testing demonstrate the proposed method’s superior performance compared to existing algorithms, validating its effectiveness in addressing key IoT challenges.

Power transformers are important parts in power supply systems. The stability, safety and reliability of transformers are especially important for electricity systems. This paper uses dissolved gas value as a feature parameter and creates a power transformer fault detection model by support vector machine classifier. In order to address the difficulty of determining the parameters for support vector machine, an optimization algorithm based on chaos particle swarm is proposed. The approach is not easy to be trapped into local optimum and improves population diversity and particle ergodicity. The experiment results prove that the support vector machine using chaos particle swarm optimization can achieve classification with higher precision and faster speed in power transformer fault diagnosis, compared to the support vector machine using traditional optimization algorithm.

Pipelines are often used for transmission of oil, gas, water and other resources to neighboring countries. These pipelines often pose risk and sometimes intervene with national security. Hence, to safeguard the pipeline, various technological usage is often encouraged. Unlike traditional non-linear structure, pipeline systems demand linear structure. Pipeline systems are often setup for greater transmission distance, for maximum utilization. Linear communication in wireless sensor network is always a time-consuming aspect due to variability in the coordinator node selection. To cater the surveillance needs of such transmission pipeline systems, we propose a cost-efficient optimization scheme which enables the network for greater communication efficiency through which maximum coverage can be achieved. The proposed scheme uses a hybrid optimization approach which encompasses ACO-PSO-GA-LOA to address the routing challenges. The proposed hybrid scheme is evaluated against traditional optimization algorithm using metrics such as communication end-to end delay, network throughput and normalized lifetime. The simulation results establish the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
