Based on the theory of clonal selection in immunology, by introducing Baldwin effect, an improved clonal selection algorithm, termed as Baldwin clonal selection algorithm (BCSA), is proposed to solve the optimal approximation of linear systems. For engineering computing, the novel algorithm adopts three operations to evolve and improve the population: clonal proliferation operation, Baldwinian learning operation and clonal selection operation. The experimental study on the optimal approximation of a stable linear system and an unstable one show that the approximate models searched by the new algorithm have better performance indices than those obtained by some existing algorithms including the differential evolution algorithm, multi-agent genetic algorithm and artificial immune response algorithm.

Multi-robot tracking of mobile target is studied in the paper, which is based on the communication and sensors. For an independent tracking robot, the processes are separated into three layers and four tasks, and allocated to different robots for distinct roles in tracking, which is named the Distributed Decision control System (DDCS). After that, two tracking models, centralized and distributed models, are designed for multi-robot tracking. Furthermore, a Proportional Navigation Guidance Law (PNGL) and l-ϕ formation control algorithm are mentioned to realize the robot motion control. At last the simulation has shown the feasibility and validity of both models.

In this paper, we introduce Lamarckian learning theory into the clonal selection algorithm and propose a sort of Lamarckian clonal selection algorithm, termed as LCSA. The major aim is to utilize effectively the information of each individual to reinforce the exploitation with the help of Lamarckian local search. Recombination operator and tournament selection operator are incorporated into LCSA to further enhance the ability of global exploration. We compared LCSA with the clonal selection algorithm (CSA) in solving twenty benchmark problems to test the performance of LCSA. The results demonstrate that LCSA is effective and efficient in solving numerical optimization problems.

Multiobjective evolutionary clustering approach has been successfully utilized in data clustering. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised machine learning algorithm namely multiobjective evolutionary clustering ensemble algorithm (MECEA) to perform the texture image segmentation. MECEA comprises two main phases. In the first phase, MECEA uses a multiobjective evolutionary clustering algorithm to optimize two complementary clustering objectives: one based on compactness in the same cluster, and the other based on connectedness of different clusters. The output of the first phase is a set of Pareto solutions, which correspond to different tradeoffs between two clustering objectives, and different numbers of clusters. In the second phase, we make use of the meta-clustering algorithm (MCLA) to combine all the Pareto solutions to get the final segmentation. The segmentation results are evaluated by comparing with three known algorithms: K-means, fuzzy K-means (FCM), and evolutionary clustering algorithm (ECA). It is shown that MECEA is an adaptive clustering algorithm, which outperforms the three algorithms in the experiments we carried out.

Combining bottom-up and top-down attention influences, a novel region extraction model which based on object-accumulated visual attention mechanism is proposed in this paper. Compared with early research, the new approach brings in prior information at the proper time, updates scan path dynamically, needs less computational resources and reduces the probability to direct the attention to a less-meaning area. The application to search an airport target in remote sensing image was provided, through which the novel mechanism that how visual attention chose the area was described. Compared with another two region extraction models, experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the approach proposed in this paper.

To infrared images, the contrast of target and background is low, dim small targets have no concrete shapes and their textures cannot be reliable predicted. The paper puts forward a novel algorithm to fuse mid-wave and long-wave infrared images and detect targets. Firstly, the source images are decomposed by wavelet transformation. In usual, targets in infrared images are man-made, and their fractal dimension is different comparing with natural background. In wavelet transformation domain high-frequency part, we calculate local fractal dimension and set up fusion rule to merge corresponding sub-images of two matching source images. In low-frequency, we extract local maximum gray level to fuse them. Then reconstruct image by wavelet inverse transformation and obtain fused result image. In fusion results, the contrast between targets and background has obvious changes. And targets can be detected using contrast threshold. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper using wavelet transformation fractal dimension to fuse dual band infrared images, and then detect targets is better than using mid-wave or long -wave infrared images detect targets alone.

Most experimental and decoding algorithm studies of brain neural signals assume that neurons transmit information as a rate coding, but recent studies on the fast cortical computations indicate that temporal coding is probably a more biologically plausible scheme used by neurons. We introduce spiking neural networks (SNN) which consist of spiking neurons propagate information by the timing of spikes to analyze the cortical neural spike trains directly without temporal information lost. The SNN based temporal pattern classification is compared with the conventional artificial neural networks (ANN) based firing rate analysis. The results show that the SNN algorithm can achieve higher accuracy, which demonstrates that temporal coding is a viable code for fast neural information processing and the SNN approach is suitable for recognizing the temporal pattern in the cortical neural signals.
