PalmPrints: A Novel Co-evolutionary Algorithm for Clustering Finger Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study is to explore an alternative means of hand image classification, one that requires minimal human intervention. The main tool for accomplishing this is a Genetic Algorithm (GA). This study is more than just another GA application; it introduces (a) a novel cooperative coevolutionary clustering algorithm with dynamic clustering and feature selection; (b) an extended fitness function, which is particularly suited to an integrated dynamic clustering space. Despite its complexity, the results of this study are clear: the GA evolved an average clustering of 4 clusters, with minimal overlap between them.

Palmprints: a Cooperative Co-evolutionary Algorithm for Clustering Hand Images
The main objective of Project PalmPrints is to develop and demonstrate a special co-evolutionary genetic algorithm (GA) that optimizes (a clustering fitness function) with respect to three quantities, (a) the dimensions of the clustering space; (b) the number of clusters; and (c) and the locations of the various clusters. This genetic algorithm is applied to the specific practical problem of ha...
متن کاملMulti-layer Clustering Topology Design in Densely Deployed Wireless Sensor Network using Evolutionary Algorithms
Due to the resource constraint and dynamic parameters, reducing energy consumption became the most important issues of wireless sensor networks topology design. All proposed hierarchy methods cluster a WSN in different cluster layers in one step of evolutionary algorithm usage with complicated parameters which may lead to reducing efficiency and performance. In fact, in WSNs topology, increasin...
متن کاملProposing a Novel Cost Sensitive Imbalanced Classification Method based on Hybrid of New Fuzzy Cost Assigning Approaches, Fuzzy Clustering and Evolutionary Algorithms
In this paper, a new hybrid methodology is introduced to design a cost-sensitive fuzzy rule-based classification system. A novel cost metric is proposed based on the combination of three different concepts: Entropy, Gini index and DKM criterion. In order to calculate the effective cost of patterns, a hybrid of fuzzy c-means clustering and particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized. This ...
متن کاملDetection of lung cancer using CT images based on novel PSO clustering
Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases that cause a large number of deaths. Early detection and analysis can be very helpful for successful treatment. Image segmentation plays a key role in the early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer. K-means algorithm and classic PSO clustering are the most common methods for segmentation that have poor outputs. In t...
متن کاملThe ensemble clustering with maximize diversity using evolutionary optimization algorithms
Data clustering is one of the main steps in data mining, which is responsible for exploring hidden patterns in non-tagged data. Due to the complexity of the problem and the weakness of the basic clustering methods, most studies today are guided by clustering ensemble methods. Diversity in primary results is one of the most important factors that can affect the quality of the final results. Also...
