Saliency-directed color image segmentation using modified particle swarm optimization

Color image segmentation, an ill-posed problem, can be treated as a process of dividing a color image into some constituent regions and each region is homogeneous. In this study, a saliency-directed color image segmentation approach using “simple” modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed, in which both low-level features and high-level image semantics extracted from each color image are employed. To extract high-level image semantics from each color image, the visual attention saliency map for each color image is generated by three (color, intensity, and orientation) feature maps, which is used to guide region merging using “simple” modified PSO and a hybrid fitness function for color image segmentation. The proposed approach contains four stages, namely, color quantization, feature extraction, small region elimination, and region merging using “simple” modified PSO. Based on the experimental results obtained in this study, as compared with four comparison approaches, the proposed approach usually provides the better color image segmentation results.     

Cognitive radio adaptation using particle swarm optimization

One of the basic capabilities of cognitive radio is to adapt the radio parameters according to the changing environment and user needs. This paper proposes a new adaptation method which uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) to optimize cognitive radio parameters given a set of objectives. The procedure of the proposed method is presented and multicarrier system is used for simulation analysis. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs far better than genetic algorithm (GA)‐based adaptation method in terms of convergence speed, converged fitness values, and stability. The proposed method can also provide the tradeoffs of the objective functions, and the resulting parameter configuration is consistent with the weights of the objective functions.

An analog/digital pre-distorter using particle swarm optimization for RF power amplifiers

In this paper, a novel pre-distorter is presented using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) for an RF power amplifier linearization has been presented. We used the PSO in order to design of an efficient pre-distorter for the linearization of the output of an RF power amplifier by using the output data of the proposed power amplifier. The PSO is implemented to estimate and optimize the coefficient parameters of the work function in the proposed pre-distorter block diagram. The proposed method using PSO is most efficient because this approach is independent of the output of the power amplifier. The proposed method has been simulated with two-tone input signal and output power spectrum has been compared, where the obtained adjacent channel leakage ration (ACLR) is better than 50 dBc for both channels. Therefore, a quite significant improvement in linearity is achieved.     

Design and optimization of a non-cross feed printed log periodic dipole array antenna using particle swarm optimization

This paper presents an optimized design of non-cross feed Printed Log Periodic Dipole Array (PLPDA) antenna using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique. An improved feed structure of non-cross fed dipoles is chosen as reference antenna, which avoids the complexity of conventional feeding with long coaxial line and CPW feed. A simple fitness function based on S₁₁ parameter is used in PSO to achieve the goal of size reduction and bandwidth enhancement. Simulation results on CST software are verified by a manufactured prototype of proposed PSO optimized non-cross feed PLPDA antenna using FR 4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm. The measured bandwidth of proposed antenna is 4.2–11.6 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 93.6%, whereas the reference antenna covers the frequency range from 4.2 to 9.2 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 74.6%. The effective area of the proposed design is 30% lesser than reference antenna. Proposed antenna is offering peak gain of 7.6 dBi with an average gain of 5.5 dBi in desired band. The electrical size of optimized structure is 0.53λ at center frequency. Thus, proposed antenna is offering higher bandwidth and significantly smaller size with less complexity and lower cost, while maintaining the log periodic nature and gain.

Linear antenna array synthesis using cat swarm optimization

Antenna arrays with high directivity and low side lobe levels need to be designed for increasing the efficiency of communication systems. A new evolutionary technique, cat swarm optimization (CSO), is proposed for the synthesis of linear antenna arrays. The CSO is a high performance computational method capable of solving linear and non-linear optimization problems. CSO is applied to optimize the antenna element positions for suppressing side lobe levels and for achieving nulls in desired directions. The steps involved in the problem formulation of the CSO are presented. Various design examples are considered and the obtained CSO based results are validated by comparing with the results obtained using particle swarm optimization (PSO) and ant colony optimization (ACO). The flexibility and ease of implementation of the CSO algorithm is evident from this analysis, showing the algorithm's usefulness in electromagnetic optimization problems.

Robust loop shaping-fuzzy gain scheduling control of a servo-pneumatic system using particle swarm optimization approach

In this paper, a new technique called robust loop shaping-fuzzy gain scheduled control (RLS-FGS) is proposed to design an effective nonlinear controller for a long stroke pneumatic servo system. In our technique, a nonlinear dynamic model of a long stroke pneumatic servo plant is identified by the fuzzy identification method and is used as the plant for our design. The structure of local controllers is selected as PID control which is proven by many research works that this type of control has many advantages such as simple structure, well understanding, and high performance. The proposed technique uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) to find the optimal local controllers which maximize the average stability margin. In addition, performance weighting function which is normally difficult to obtain is automatically determined by PSO. By the proposed technique, the RLS-FGS controller can be designed, and the structure of local controllers is still not complicated. As seen in the simulation and experimental results, our proposed technique is better than the classical gain scheduled PID controller tuned by pole placement and the conventional fuzzy PID controller tuned by ISE method in terms of robust performance.

Symbol detection in spatial multiplexing system using particle swarm optimization meta-heuristics

Symbol detection in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication systems using different particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms is presented. This approach is particularly attractive as particle swarm intelligence is well suited for real-time applications, where low complexity and fast convergence is of absolute importance. While an optimal maximum likelihood (ML) detection using an exhaustive search method is prohibitively complex, PSO-assisted MIMO detection algorithms give near-optimal bit error rate (BER) performance with a significant reduction in ML complexity. The simulation results show that the proposed detectors give an acceptable BER performance and computational complexity trade-off in comparison with ML detection. These detection techniques show promising results for MIMO systems using high-order modulation schemes and more transmitting antennas where conventional ML detector becomes computationally non-practical to use. Hence, the proposed detectors are best suited for high-speed multi-antenna wireless communication systems. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
