Multi-objective optimization of the U-shaped assembly line ‎balancing and worker assignment considering setup-times ‎and workers' skill by Ali Husseinzadeh Kashan, Saeed Afkhami, Parisa Maroofkhani

“…We use four criteria for analyzing the results of the mathematical model and evaluating the performance of the multi-objective evolutionary algorithms. The experimental results demonstrate that NSGA-II is superior to SPEA-II.Originality/Value: A bi-objective mathematical model for the U-shaped assembly line balancing problem considering setup-times and workers' skill is developed, and the problem is solved using two algorithms.…”

Multiple Target Localization with Bistatic Radar Using Heuristic Computational Intelligence Techniques by Fawad Zaman, Ijaz Mansoor Qureshi, Ata Ur Rehman, Shujaat Ali Khan Tanoli

“…In this connection, first the global search optimizers, that is,are developed separately Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) are developed separately, and, to enhance the performances further, both of them are hybridized with a local search optimizer called Active Set Algorithm (ASA). Initially, the performance of PSO, DE, PSO hybridized with ASA, and DE hybridized with ASA are compared with each other and then with some traditional techniques available in literature using root mean square error (RMSE) as figure of merit.…”

Adaptable privacy protection scheme in JPEG images by Hongxin WEN, Fei HU, Nenghai YU

“…The JPEG format is widely used for its high compression rate in image storage.Privacy protection schemes applied to JPEG images not only need to safeguard the content of the privacy region but also maintain the file size.Furthermore, the region of interest (ROI), which contains private information, often occupies only a portion of the entire JPEG image.Protecting only the ROI can help preserve the file size.In light of this, an adaptable privacy protection scheme for JPEG images was proposed.Privacy regions were identified using methods like face detection within the JPEG images.These regions were then modified using the block-based adaptable reversible modification algorithm presented in this study.Reconstruction information was embedded into the image through reversible data hiding.The application of reversible algorithms in the privacy protection process enabled authorized users to fully restore the protected area.By introducing variable parameters, this scheme allowed for the selection of appropriate parameters to meet different practical requirements and achieve optimal encryption results.Additionally, the complex scenario of multiple overlapping ROIs was discussed and resolved.Experimental evaluations were conducted to investigate the influence of parameters on performance, considering both peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and file size increment.The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms existing schemes in terms of privacy protection and file size when suitable parameters are employed.…”

Study of kinematic parameters of android robot in automated synthesis of motions on velocity vector by F. N. Pritykin

“…The modernization of the method of synthesis of motions of manipulators by speed vector allows to exclude motions the emergence of dead ends in the process of computer simulation. The developed algorithm is based on the use of a database characterising the values of kinematic parameters that specify the permissible instantaneous states of the mechanism of the manipulator at different positions. …”
