Ahybrid computational intelligent approachwhich combineswavelet fuzzy neural network (WFNN) with switching particle swarm optimization (SPSO) algorithm is proposed to control the nonlinearity, wide variation in loads, time variation, and uncertain disturbance of the high-powerACservo system. TheWFNNmethod integratedwavelet transforms with fuzzy rules and is proposed to achieve precise positioning control of the AC servo system. As the WFNN controller, the back-propagation method is used for the online learning algorithm. Moreover, the SPSO is proposed to adapt the learning rates of theWFNN online, where the velocity updating equation is according to aMarkov chain, whichmakes it easy to jump the local minimum, and acceleration coefficients are dependent on mode switching. Furthermore, the stability of the closed loop system is guaranteed by using the Lyapunov method. The results of the simulation and the prototype test prove that the proposed approach can improve the steady-state performance and possess strong robustness to both parameter perturbation and load disturbance.

Previous research demonstrated that global phase alone can be used to faithfully represent visual scenes. Here we provide a reconstruction algorithmby using only local phase information. We also demonstrate that local phase alone can be effectively used to detect local motion. The local phase-based motion detector is akin to models employed to detect motion in biological vision, for example, the Reichardt detector. The local phase-based motion detection algorithm introduced here consists of two building blocks. The first building block measures/evaluates the temporal change of the local phase. The temporal derivative of the local phase is shown to exhibit the structure of a second order Volterra kernel with two normalized inputs. We provide an efficient, FFT-based algorithm for implementing the change of the local phase. The second processing building block implements the detector;it compares the maximum of the Radon transform of the local phase derivative with a chosen threshold. We demonstrate examples of applying the local phase-based motion detection algorithm on several video sequences. We also show how the locally detected motion can be used for segmenting moving objects in video scenes and compare our local phase-based algorithm to segmentation achieved with a widely used optic flow algorithm.

Cloud storage has become an important part of a cloud system nowadays. Most current cloud storage systems perform well for large files but they cannot manage small file storage appropriately. With the development of cloud services, more and more small files are emerging. Therefore, we propose an optimized data replication approach for small files in cloud storage systems. A small file merging algorithm and a block replica placement algorithm are involved in this approach. Small files are classified into four types according to their access frequencies. A number of small files will be merged into the same block based on which type they belong to. And the replica placement algorithm helps to improve the access efficiencies of small files in a cloud system. Related experiment results demonstrate that our proposed approach can effectively shorten the time spent reading and writing small files, and it performs better than the other two already known data replication algorithms: HAR and SequenceFile.

In order to accurately identify the dynamic health of shearer, reducing operating trouble and production accident of shearer and improving coal production efficiency further, a dynamic health assessment approach for shearer based on artificial immune algorithm was proposed. The key technologies such as system framework, selecting the indicators for shearer dynamic health assessment, and health assessment model were provided, and the flowchart of the proposed approach was designed. A simulation example, with an accuracy of 96%, based on the collected data from industrial production scene was provided. Furthermore, the comparison demonstrated that the proposed method exhibited higher classification accuracy than the classifiers based on back propagation-neural network (BP-NN) and support vector machine (SVM) methods. Finally, the proposed approach was applied in an engineering problem of shearer dynamic health assessment. The industrial application results showed that the paper research achievements could be used combining with shearer automation control system in fully mechanized coal face. The simulation and the application results indicated that the proposed method was feasible and outperforming others.

The concept of supercomputer technologies is traditionally related to mapping algorithms onto the computer architecture, which, taking into account the explosive growth of computational capabilities, implies the necessity for an adequate increase in the performance of algorithms and programs. At the same time, it is well known that the rate of building "computer muscles" far exceeds the rate of increasing the labor productivity of software developers, which becomes a bottleneck of computer evolution. The only way to deal with this problem is to automate the construction of models, algorithms, and programs, which directly implies the revolutionary change in the level of artificial intelligence in supercomputer technologies. In this paper, it is from this standpoint that main computational stages of mathematical modeling of various processes and phenomena are discussed, some aspects of high logical complexity of modern high-performance methods for solving "large" applied problems are pointed out, and some intelligent solutions for various modeling problems are proposed.

This study addresses the delineation of areas that contribute baseflow to a stream reach, also known as stream capture zones. Such areas can be delineated using standard well capture zone delineation methods, with three important differences: (1) natural gradients are smaller compared to those produced by supply wells and are therefore subject to greater numerical errors, (2) stream discharge varies seasonally, and (3) stream discharge varies spatially. This study focuses on model-related uncertainties due to model characteristics, discretization schemes, delineation methods, and particle tracking algorithms. The methodology is applied to the Alder Creek watershed in southwestern Ontario. Four different model codes are compared: HydroGeoSphere, WATFLOW, MODFLOW, and FEFLOW. In addition, two delineation methods are compared: reverse particle tracking and reverse transport, where the latter considers local-scale parameter uncertainty by using a macrodispersion term to produce a capture probability plume. The results from this study indicate that different models can calibrate acceptably well to the same data and produce very similar distributions of hydraulic head, but can produce different capture zones. The stream capture zone is found to be highly sensitive to the particle tracking algorithm. It was also found that particle tracking by itself, if applied to complex systems such as the Alder Creek watershed, would require considerable subjective judgement in the delineation of stream capture zones. Reverse transport is an alternative and more reliable approach that provides probability intervals for the baseflow contribution areas, taking uncertainty into account. The two approaches can be used together to enhance the confidence in the final outcome. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of a gunshot is an important issue in shooter localisation. As the distance between the firing position and the sensor array increases, the signal-to-noise ratio decreases, which degrades the accuracy of the DOA estimation. Strong noise may lead to false peaks in cross-correlation functions, which may result in spurious time difference of arrival (TDOA) estimates and hence spurious DOA estimates. The proposed gunshot DOA estimation algorithm [exhaustive search-searching consistent fundamental loop (ES-SCFL)] reduces this problem by combining the methods of standard estimation, ES, and SCFL. The ES-SCFL method looks for the best set of microphone pairs and the correct peaks of their cross-correlation functions, and uses the time lags of these peaks as the TDOA estimates for DOA estimation. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using real gunshot data recorded from a field experiment.

The max-cut problem is NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem with many real world applications. In this paper, we propose an integrated method based on particle swarm optimization and estimation of distribution algorithm (PSO-EDA) for solving the max-cut problem. The integrated algorithm overcomes the shortcomings of particle swarm optimization and estimation of distribution algorithm. To enhance the performance of the PSO-EDA, a fast local search procedure is applied. In addition, a path relinking procedure is developed to intensify the search. To evaluate the performance of PSO-EDA, extensive experiments were carried out on two sets of benchmark instances with 800 to 20000 vertices from the literature. Computational results and comparisons show that PSO-EDA significantly outperforms the existing PSO-based and EDA-based algorithms for the max-cut problem. Compared with other best performing algorithms, PSO-EDA is able to find very competitive results in terms of solution quality.

Real-time structural identification and damage detection are necessary for on-line structural damage detection and optimal structural vibration control during severe loadings. Frequently, structural damage can be reflected in the stiffness degradation of structural elements. In this article, a time-domain three-stage algorithm with computational efficiency is proposed for real-time tracking the onsets, locations, and extents of abrupt stiffness degradations of structural elements using measurements of structural acceleration responses. Structural dynamic parameters before damage are recursively estimated in stage I. Then, the time instants and possible locations of degraded structural elements are detected by tracking the errors between the measured data and the corresponding estimated values in stage II. Finally, the exact locations and extents of stiffness degradations of structural elements are determined by solving simple constrained optimization problems in stage III. Both numerical examples and an experimental test are used to validate the proposed algorithm for real-time tracking the abrupt stiffness degradations of structural elements in linear or nonlinear structures using measurements of structural acceleration responses polluted by noises.

This article proposes a new filter for interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) phase denoising. Traditional phase filters generally face two major challenges: to preserve texture details while reducing noise and to perform well in less time. The local linear model-based guided filter and Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE)-based filter, in contrast, have a high quality of edge-preserving performance and high efficiency owing to the feature of SURE formula and simplicity. Nevertheless, as these filters are designed for general digital images, they are not suitable for periodic and high-noise-level interferometric phase images. In this article, we modified the original filters by considering the coherence coefficient and features of the interferometric phase image, creating a new patch-based filter adapted to areas characterized by different coherences. Moreover, after obtaining the solution of a patch, considering the geometric closeness and the phasic similarity, we used a bilateral filter combining the pixels in the patch to obtain the estimate. Experimental results based on the simulated and real data confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
