Bilateral Filter for the Optimization of Composite Structures

In the present study,we propose to integrate the bilateral filter into the Shepard-interpolation-based method for the optimization of composite structures.The bilateral filter is used to avoid defects in the structure that may arise due to the gap/overlap of adjacent fiber tows or excessive curvature of fiber tows.According to the bilateral filter,sensitivities at design points in the filter area are smoothed by both domain filtering and range filtering.Then,the filtered sensitivities are used to update the design variables.Through several numerical examples,the effectiveness of the method was verified.

Particle swarm optimization and its application to the design of a compact tunable guided-mode resonant filter

A compact tunable guided-mode resonant filter （GMRF） in the telecommunication region near the 1550 nm wave-length is proposed in this paper. Particle swarm optimization （PSO） is used to design the GMRF. The tunability of the GMRF is achieved by an MEMS-based physical movement （in the horizontal or vertical direction） combined with an incident angle in a certain range. The results show that the resonant wavelength tuning of 110 nm （140mm） is obtained by horizontal movement of 168 nm （vertical movement of 435 nm） combined with an about 11° variation of incident angle.

Robust H-Filtering for Lipschitz Nonlinear Systems via Multiobjective Optimization

In this paper, a new method of filtering for Lipschitz nonlinear systems is proposed in the form of an LMI optimization problem. The proposed filter has guaranteed decay rate (exponential convergence) and is robust against unknown exogenous disturbance. In addition, thanks to the linearity of the proposed LMIs in the admissible Lipschitz constant, it can be maximized via LMI optimization. This adds an extra important feature to the observer, robustness against nonlinear uncertainty. Explicit bound on the tolerable nonlinear uncertainty is derived. The new LMI formulation also allows optimizations over the disturbance attenuation level ( cost). Then, the admissible Lipschitz constant and the disturbance attenuation level of the filter are simultaneously optimized through LMI multiobjective optimization.

Design of Optical Filter Using Bald Eagle Search Optimization Algorithm

Controlled thermonuclear reactors require consistent monitoring of plasma in the toroidal chamber.Better working conditions of such machines can be monitored by analyzing its radiations.Various wavelengths such as 656.3,486.1,464.7 nm are quite significant which are used for health monitoring of thermonuclear machines.The optical thinfilmfilters which work on construc-tive and destructive interference are the ideal choices.Thesefilters are multi-layered with a pair of high and low refractive index dielectric materials.Significantly high transmission index at the desired wavelength and relatively low transmission at the other wavelengths are desired.With this as the objective,it is necessary to design thefilter.Various optimization techniques are used for identifying the suitable design of thefilters.To choose the parameter combination that provides the most excellent performance,optimization of the design para-meters is entailed.The goal of this work is to improve the optical bandfilter using the Bald eagle search optimization(BES)method.The ideal design is determined by assessing several characteristics such as thickness,refractive index,Full-Width at Half-Maximum(FWHM),and the impact of choosing optical properties,which increases transmission potential.Initially,an alternate multi-layer stack with 28,30,and 32 layers is created by altering the thickness while keeping the dielectric substances high and low refractive indices constant.By adjusting the thickness of each layer,the BES algorithm achieves the best practical solution.The proposed method is implemented using MATLAB and the outcomes show the efficacy of the proposed technique.The transmittance,reflectance,and FWHM using the pro-posed BES are found to be 99.9356%,0.065%,and 1.2 nm respectively.

Adaptive multi-feature tracking in particle swarm optimization based particle filter framework

This paper proposes a particle swarm optimization（PSO） based particle filter（PF） tracking framework,the embedded PSO makes particles move toward the high likelihood area to find the optimal position in the state transition stage,and simultaneously incorporates the newest observations into the proposal distribution in the update stage.In the proposed approach,likelihood measure functions involving multiple features are presented to enhance the performance of model fitting.Furthermore,the multi-feature weights are self-adaptively adjusted by a PSO algorithm throughout the tracking process.There are three main contributions.Firstly,the PSO algorithm is fused into the PF framework,which can efficiently alleviate the particles degeneracy phenomenon.Secondly,an effective convergence criterion for the PSO algorithm is explored,which can avoid particles getting stuck in local minima and maintain a greater particle diversity.Finally,a multi-feature weight self-adjusting strategy is proposed,which can significantly improve the tracking robustness and accuracy.Experiments performed on several challenging public video sequences demonstrate that the proposed tracking approach achieves a considerable performance.

THE EFFECT OF SAMPLE OPTIMIZATION ON THE ENSEMBLE KALMAN FILTER IN FORECASTING TYPHOON RAMMASUN(2014)

In a limited number of ensembles, some samples do not adequately reflect the true atmospheric state and can in turn affect forecast performance. This study explored the feasibility of sample optimization using the ensemble Kalman filter(EnKF) for a simulation of the 2014 Super Typhoon Rammasun, which made landfall in southern China in July 2014. Under the premise of sufficient ensemble spread, keeping samples with a good fit to observations and eliminating those with poor fit can affect the performance of En KF. In the sample optimization, states were selected based on the sample spatial correlation between the ensemble state and observations. The method discarded ensemble states that were less representative and, to maintain the overall ensemble size, generated new ensemble states by reproducing them from ensemble states with a good fit by adding random noise. Sample selection was performed based on radar echo data. Results showed that applying En KF with optimized samples improved the estimated track, intensity,precipitation distribution, and inner-core structure of Typhoon Rammasun. Therefore, the authors proposed that distinguishing between samples with good and poor fits is vital for ensemble prediction, suggesting that sample optimization is necessary to the effective use of En KF.

Gabor Filter Optimization Design for Iris Texture Analysis

This paper deals with an optimization design method for the Gabor filters based on the analysis of an iris texture model. By means of analyzing the properties of an iris texture image, the energy distribution regularity of the iris texture image measured by the average power spectrum density is exploited, and the theoretical ranges of the efficient valued frequency and orientation parameters can also be deduced. The analysis shows that the energy distribution of the iris texture is generally centralized around lower frequencies in the spatial frequency domain. Accordingly, an iterative algorithm is designed to optimize the Gabor parameter field. The experimental results indicate the validity of the theory and efficiency of the algorithm.

Global Optimization of Norris Derivative Filtering with Application for Near-Infrared Analysis of Serum Urea Nitrogen

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics methods was applied to the rapid and reagent-free analysis of serum urea nitrogen (SUN). The mul-partitions modeling was performed to achieve parameter stability. A large-scale parameter cyclic and global optimization platform for Norris derivative filter (NDF) of three parameters (the derivative order: d, the number of smoothing points: s and the number of differential gaps: g) was developed with PLS regression. Meantime, the parameters’ adaptive analysis of NDF algorithm was also given, and achieved a significantly better modeling effect than one without spectral pre-processing. After eliminating the interference wavebands of saturated absorption, the modeling performance was further improved. In validation, the root mean square error (SEP), correlation coefficient (RP) for prediction and the ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) were 1.66 mmol?L-1, 0.966 and 4.7, respectively. The results showed that the high-precision analysis of SUN was feasibility based on NIR spectroscopy and Norris-PLS. The global optimization method of NDF is also expected to be applied to other analysis objects.

Power System Reactive Power Optimization Based on Fuzzy Formulation and Interior Point Filter Algorithm

Considering the soft constraint characteristics of voltage constraints, the Interior-Point Filter Algorithm is applied to solve the formulation of fuzzy model for the power system reactive power optimization with a large number of equality and inequality constraints. Based on the primal-dual interior-point algorithm, the algorithm maintains an updating “filter” at each iteration in order to decide whether to admit correction of iteration point which can avoid effectively oscillation due to the conflict between the decrease of objective function and the satisfaction of constraints and ensure the global convergence. Moreover, the “filter” improves computational efficiency because it filters the unnecessary iteration points. The calculation results of a practical power system indicate that the algorithm can effectively deal with the large number of inequality constraints of the fuzzy model of reactive power optimization and satisfy the requirement of online calculation which realizes to decrease the network loss and maintain specified margins of voltage.

It is a time-consuming and often iterative procedure to determine design parameters based on fine, accurate but expensive, models. To decrease the number of fine model evaluations, space mapping techniques may be employed. In this approach, it is assumed both fine model and coarse, fast but inaccurate, one are available. First, the coarse model is optimized to obtain design parameters satisfying design objectives. Next, auxiliary parameters are calibrated to match coarse and fine models’ responses. Then, the improved coarse model is re-optimized to obtain new design parameters. The design procedure is stopped when a satisfactory solution is reached. In this paper, an implicit space mapping method is used to design a microstrip low-pass elliptic filter. Simulation results show that only two fine model evaluations are sufficient to get satisfactory results.
