Abstract Angle detection is a crucial aspect of industrial automation, ensuring precise alignment and orientation of components in manufacturing processes. Despite the widespread application of computer vision in industrial settings, angle detection remains an underexplored domain, with limited integration into production lines. This paper addresses the need for automated angle detection in industrial environments by presenting a methodology that eliminates training time and higher computation cost on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) from machine learning in computer vision (e.g., Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)). Our approach leverages advanced image processing techniques and a strategic combination of algorithms, including More >

Abstract While many metaheuristic optimization algorithms strive to address optimization challenges, they often grapple with the delicate balance between exploration and exploitation, leading to issues such as premature convergence, sensitivity to parameter settings, and difficulty in maintaining population diversity. In response to these challenges, this study introduces the Chase, Pounce, and Escape (CPE) algorithm, drawing inspiration from predator-prey dynamics. Unlike traditional optimization approaches, the CPE algorithm divides the population into two groups, each independently exploring the search space to efficiently navigate complex problem domains and avoid local optima. By incorporating a unique search mechanism that integrates More >

Abstract This paper investigates the impact of reducing feature-vector dimensionality on the performance of machine learning (ML) models. Dimensionality reduction and feature selection techniques can improve computational efficiency, accuracy, robustness, transparency, and interpretability of ML models. In high-dimensional data, where features outnumber training instances, redundant or irrelevant features introduce noise, hindering model generalization and accuracy. This study explores the effects of dimensionality reduction methods on binary classifier performance using network traffic data for cybersecurity applications. The paper examines how dimensionality reduction techniques influence classifier operation and performance across diverse performance metrics for seven ML models. Four… More >

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a collection of sensor nodes distributed in space and connected through wireless communication. The sensor nodes gather and store data about the real world around them. However, the nodes that are dependent on batteries will ultimately suffer an energy loss with time, which affects the lifetime of the network. This research proposes to achieve its primary goal by reducing energy consumption and increasing the network’s lifetime and stability. The present technique employs the hybrid Mayfly Optimization Algorithm-Enhanced Ant Colony Optimization (MFOA-EACO), where the Mayfly Optimization Algorithm (MFOA) is used to… More >

Abstract This study is trying to address the critical need for efficient routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) from dynamic topologies that pose great challenges because of the mobility of nodes. The main objective was to delve into and refine the application of the Dijkstra's algorithm in this context, a method conventionally esteemed for its efficiency in static networks. Thus, this paper has carried out a comparative theoretical analysis with the Bellman-Ford algorithm, considering adaptation to the dynamic network conditions that are typical for MANETs. This paper has shown through detailed algorithmic analysis that Dijkstra’s… More >

Abstract Hybridizing metaheuristic algorithms involves synergistically combining different optimization techniques to effectively address complex and challenging optimization problems. This approach aims to leverage the strengths of multiple algorithms, enhancing solution quality, convergence speed, and robustness, thereby offering a more versatile and efficient means of solving intricate real-world optimization tasks.

Abstract In blood or bone marrow, leukemia is a form of cancer. A person with leukemia has an expansion of white blood cells (WBCs). It primarily affects children and rarely affects adults. Treatment depends on the type of leukemia and the extent to which cancer has established throughout the body. Identifying leukemia in the initial stage is vital to providing timely patient care. Medical image-analysis-related approaches grant safer, quicker, and less costly solutions while ignoring the difficulties of these invasive processes. It can be simple to generalize Computer vision (CV)-based and image-processing techniques and eradicate human… More >

Abstract The denoising of microseismic signals is a prerequisite for subsequent analysis and research. In this research, a new microseismic signal denoising algorithm called the Black Widow Optimization Algorithm (BWOA) optimized Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) joint Wavelet Threshold Denoising (WTD) algorithm (BVW) is proposed. The BVW algorithm integrates VMD and WTD, both of which are optimized by BWOA. Specifically, this algorithm utilizes VMD to decompose the microseismic signal to be denoised into several Band-Limited Intrinsic Mode Functions (BLIMFs). Subsequently, these BLIMFs whose correlation coefficients with the microseismic signal to be denoised are higher than a threshold… More >
