Abstract Image segmentation is a crucial stage in the investigation of medical images and is predominantly implemented in various medical applications. In the case of investigating MRI brain images, the image segmentation is mainly employed to measure and visualize the anatomic structure of the brain that underwent modifications to delineate the regions. At present, distinct segmentation approaches with various degrees of accurateness and complexities are available. But, it needs tuning of various parameters to obtain optimal results. The tuning of parameters can be considered as an optimization issue using a similarity function in solution space. This… More >

Abstract The optimization of network topologies to retain the generalization ability by deciding when to stop overtraining an artificial neural network (ANN) is an existing vital challenge in ANN prediction works. The larger the dataset the ANN is trained with, the better generalization the prediction can give. In this paper, a large dataset of atmospheric corrosion data of carbon steel compiled from several resources is used to train and test a multilayer backpropagation ANN model as well as two conventional corrosion prediction models (linear and Klinesmith models). Unlike previous related works, a grid searchbased hyperparameter tuning… More >

Abstract Due to the coupled motion between the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and the manipulator, the underactuation characteristics of the system itself, and the influence of external uncertainties, the stability of the rotor UAV’s manipulator control system is difficult to control. Based on the dynamic model of the rotor UAV, the stability of the whole UAV manipulator control system is improved by using the piecewise cost function, the compression factor particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and the sliding mode PID to establish the sliding mode PID control stability method based on the PSO.
