In IBMSMA, the chaotic grouping mechanism and dynamic regrouping strategy are employed to improve population diversity;the shift density estimation is used to assess the superiority of search agents and to provide selection pressure for population evolution;and the Pareto external archive is utilized to maintain the convergence and distribution of the non-dominated solution set. To evaluate the performance of IBMSMA, it is applied to eight multi-objective truss optimization problems. The results obtained by IBMSMA are compared with other 14 well-known optimization algorithms on hypervolume, inverted generational distance and spacing-to-extent indicators. The Wilcoxon statistical test and Friedman ranking are used for statistical analysis. The results of this study reveal that IBMSMA can find the Pareto front with better convergence and diversity in less time than state-of-the-art algorithms, demonstrating its capability in tackling large-scale engineering design problems.展开更多

Combining with the characteristics of genetic algorithm （GA） and particle swarm optimization （PSO）, a three-stage calibration method based on hybrid intelligent optimization is pro- posed for nonlinear camera models in this paper. The motivation is to improve the accuracy of the calibration process. In this approach, the stereo vision calibration is considered as an optimization problem that can be solved by the GA and PSO. The initial linear values can be obtained in the frost stage. Then in the second stage, two cameras＇ parameters are optimized separately. Finally, the in- tegrated optimized calibration of two models is obtained in the third stage. Direct linear transforma- tion （DLT）, GA and PSO are individually used in three stages. It is shown that the results of every stage can correctly find near-optimal solution and it can be used to initialize the next stage. Simula- tion analysis and actual experimental results indicate that this calibration method works more accu- rate and robust in noisy environment compared with traditional calibration methods. The proposed method can fulfill the requirements of robot sophisticated visual operation.展开更多
