Cauchy Biogeography-Based Optimization based on lateral inhibition for image matching

In this paper, a hybrid method of Cauchy Biogeography-Based Optimization (CBBO) and Lateral Inhibition (LI) is proposed to complete the task of complicated image matching. Lateral inhibition mechanism is adopted for image pre-process to make the intensity gradient in the image contrastively strengthened. Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) is a bio-inspired algorithm for global optimization which is based on the science of biogeography, searching for the global optimum mainly through two steps: migration and mutation. To promote the optimization performance, an improved version of the BBO method using Cauchy mutation operator is proposed. Cauchy mutation operator enhances the exploration ability of the algorithm and improves the diversity of population. The proposed LI-CBBO method for image matching inherits both the advantages of CBBO and lateral inhibition mechanism. Series of comparative experiments using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), LI-PSO, BBO and LI-BBO have been conducted to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed LI-CBBO.

Application of the edge of chaos in combinatorial optimization

Many problems in science, engineering and real life are related to the combinatorial optimization. However, many combinatorial optimization problems belong to a class of the NP-hard problems, and their globally optimal solutions are usually difficult to solve. Therefore, great attention has been attracted to the algorithms of searching the globally optimal solution or near-optimal solution for the combinatorial optimization problems. As a typical combinatorial optimization problem, the traveling salesman problem(TSP) often serves as a touchstone for novel approaches. It has been found that natural systems, particularly brain nervous systems, work at the critical region between order and disorder, namely,on the edge of chaos. In this work, an algorithm for the combinatorial optimization problems is proposed based on the neural networks on the edge of chaos(ECNN). The algorithm is then applied to TSPs of 10 cities, 21 cities, 48 cities and 70 cities. The results show that ECNN algorithm has strong ability to drive the networks away from local minimums.Compared with the transiently chaotic neural network(TCNN), the stochastic chaotic neural network(SCNN) algorithms and other optimization algorithms, much higher rates of globally optimal solutions and near-optimal solutions are obtained with ECNN algorithm. To conclude, our algorithm provides an effective way for solving the combinatorial optimization problems.     

A Hybrid Rao-NM Algorithm for Image Template Matching

This paper proposes a hybrid Rao-Nelder–Mead (Rao-NM) algorithm for image template matching is proposed. The developed algorithm incorporates the Rao-1 algorithm and NM algorithm serially. Thus, the powerful global search capability of the Rao-1 algorithm and local search capability of NM algorithm is fully exploited. It can quickly and accurately search for the high-quality optimal solution on the basis of ensuring global convergence. The computing time is highly reduced, while the matching accuracy is significantly improved. Four commonly applied optimization problems and three image datasets are employed to assess the performance of the proposed method. Meanwhile, three commonly used algorithms, including generic Rao-1 algorithm, particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), are considered as benchmarking algorithms. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective and efficient in solving image matching problems.

Biological image processing via Chaotic Differential Search and lateral inhibition

In this paper, we propose a hybrid biological image processing approach, which is based on Chaotic Differential Search (CDS) algorithm and lateral inhibition (LI) mechanism. We named this hybrid biological image processing approach as LI-CDS. Differential Search (DS) algorithm is a new bio-inspired optimization algorithm mimicking the migration behavior of an organism, and has been successfully used for solution of coordinate system transformation. The property of chaotic variable is integrated into DS to improve its search strategy so that it can escape from the local optimum. Furthermore, lateral inhibition mechanism, which is verified to have good effects on image edge extraction and image enhancement, is employed to pre-process images involved. In this hybrid biological image processing mechanism, our proposed LI-CDS method incorporates both advantages of chaos theory and lateral inhibition mechanism. Series of comparative experimental results by using LI-CDS, DS, CDS and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) demonstrate that the proposed LI-CDS performs better than the other three methods.     

Chaotically Temporal Retrieval of Memory

A neural network with nonlinear delays to produce temporal retrieval of memory is presented. In this network, chaotic motion of the local fields provides a mechanism for the system to escape from one memory to another. It is proved by numerical investigations that the chaotic temporal process can explore the topological structure of the state space and the system has better efficiency of searching global minimum of the energy function than the Hopfield model. The characters of the system show that it may have great potential use in solving combinatorial optimization problems with its complex dynamics.
