This paper presents a parallel artificial immune model termed as tower master-slave model (TMSM) for solving optimising problems. Based on TMSM, the parallel immune memory clonal selection algorithm (PIMCSA) is also proposed. TMSM is a two level coarse-grained parallel artificial immune model with distributed immune response and distributed immune memory. In PIMCSA, vaccines are extracted and migrated between populations rather than individual migration as has been done in parallel genetic algorithms. It is a good balance between population diversity and the convergent speed. Experimental results on the numerical optimization and TSP problems show that PIMCSA achieves good performance in terms of both solution quality and computation time.

An adaptive fusion method of multisensor images based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform is proposed in this paper, which can select the fusion weights of the low-frequency coefficients adaptively via golden section algorithm. The nonsubsampled contourlet transform is a flexible multi-scale, multi-direction and shift-invariant image decomposition, which is suitable for representing images bearing abundant detail and directional information. This is employed for fusing the directional high-frequency coefficients. For the directional high-frequency coefficients, the higher adding level of the directional subbands is used to select the better coefficient for fusion. The nonsubsampled contourlet transform can also avoids introducing ringing artifacts to fused images compared to ordinary method. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better fusion efficiency compared to image fusion methods based on Laplacian pyramid transform, wavelet transform, stationary wavelet transform and contourlet transform respectively.

Based on the mechanisms of immunodominance and clonal selection theory, we propose a new multiobjective optimization algorithm, immune dominance clonal multiobjective algorithm (IDCMA). IDCMA is unique in that its fitness values of current dominated individuals are assigned as the values of a custom distance measure, termed as Ab-Ab affinity, between the dominated individuals and one of the nondominated individuals found so far. According to the values of Ab-Ab affinity, all dominated individuals (antibodies) are divided into two kinds, subdominant antibodies and cryptic antibodies. Moreover, local search only applies to the subdominant antibodies, while the cryptic antibodies are redundant and have no function during local search, but they can become subdominant (active) antibodies during the subsequent evolution. Furthermore, a new immune operation, clonal proliferation is provided to enhance local search. Using the clonal proliferation operation, IDCMA reproduces individuals and selects their improved maturated progenies after local search, so single individuals can exploit their surrounding space effectively and the newcomers yield a broader exploration of the search space. The performance comparison of IDCMA with MISA, NSGA-Ⅱ, SPEA, PAES, NSGA, VEGA, NPGA, and HLGA in solving six well-known multiobjective function optimization problems and nine multiobjective 0/1 knapsack problems shows that IDCMA has a good performance in converging to approximate Pareto-optimal fronts with a good distribution.

This paper introduced a novel high performance algorithm and VLSI architectures for achieving bit plane coding (BPC) in word level sequential and parallel mode. The proposed BPC algorithm adopts the techniques of coding pass prediction and parallel & pipeline to reduce the number of accessing memory and to increase the ability of concurrently processing of the system, where all the coefficient bits of a code block could be coded by only one scan. A new parallel bit plane architecture (PA) was proposed to achieve word-level sequential coding. Moreover, an efficient high-speed architecture (HA) was presented to achieve multi-word parallel coding. Compared to the state of the art, the proposed PA could reduce the hardware cost more efficiently, though the throughput retains one coefficient coded per clock. While the proposed HA could perform coding for 4 coefficients belonging to a stripe column at one intra-clock cycle, so that coding for an NxN code-block could be completed in approximate N2/4 intra-clock cycles. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed designs have high throughput rate with good performance in terms of speedup to cost, which can be good alternatives for low power applications.

On visual tracking, a particle filter algorithm was presented to track a moving target under clutter environment which can deal with rotation, scale changes, variations in the light source and partial occlusions. So it can track the target with robustness. The proposed method was based on particle filter, integrated with color histogram in the measurement model, and the system model was second order autoregressive process. The algorithm took into account the latest observations and the tracked target can be rigid or non-rigid. Also the method can run in real-time. The experimental results confirm that the method is effective even when the monocular camera is moving and the target object is partially occluded in a clutter background.
