Image segmentation using evolutionary computation
Image segmentation denotes a process by which a raw input image is partitioned into nonoverlapping regions such that each region is homogeneous and the union of any two adjacent regions is heterogeneous. A segmented image is considered to be the highest ...
System design by constraint adaptation and differential evolution
A simple optimization procedure for constraint-based problems is described which works with a simplified cost function or even without one. The simplification of the problem formulation makes this method particularly attractive. The new method lends ...
A MS-GS VQ codebook design for wireless image communication using genetic algorithms
An image compression technique is proposed that attempts to achieve both robustness to transmission bit errors common to wireless image communication, as well as sufficient visual quality of the reconstructed images. Error robustness is achieved by ...
An orthogonal genetic algorithm for multimedia multicast routing
Many multimedia communication applications require a source to send multimedia information to multiple destinations through a communication network. To support these applications, it is necessary to determine a multicast tree of minimal cost to connect ...
A multistage evolutionary algorithm for the timetable problem
It is well known that timetabling problems can be very difficult to solve, especially when dealing with particularly large instances. Finding near-optimal results can prove to be extremely difficult, even when using advanced search methods such as ...
