Evolutionary algorithm for surface modification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complex shapes bounded by free form surfaces are designed and modified by specifying the parameters of their mathematical descriptions. Although most graphics and design systems provide high level tools for free form shape modifications, they are not intuitive and suitable for a creative designer or a stylist. In the paper a technique is proposed for the modification of the shape of a parametric B-spline surface through embedding a set of predefined characteristic curves. Shape modification is performed by an evolutionary algorithm. The evolutionary algorithm minimises the distance between the curve and the surface while maintains the global shape and smoothness of the original surface. Several experimental results are presented.

متن کاملDesign of IIR Digital Filter using Modified Chaotic Orthogonal Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)
There are two types of digital filters including Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) and Finite Impulse Response (FIR). IIR filters attract more attention as they can decrease the filter order significantly compared to FIR filters. Owing to multi-modal error surface, simple powerful optimization techniques should be utilized in designing IIR digital filters to avoid local minimum. Imperialist compe...
