Spatial spectrum estimation, also known as direction of arrival (DOA) detection, is a popular issue in many fields, including remote sensing, radar, communication, sonar, seismic exploration, radio astronomy, and biomedical engineering. MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) Estimation Signal Parameter via Rotational Invariance Technique (ESPRIT), which are well-known for their high-resolution ...

In this paper, quantum computing (QC) inspired particle swarm optimization (QPSO) technique is utilized to solve economic dispatch (ED) problem, which has strong, robust and reliable search capability with powerful convergence properties. Here, authors use cubic criterion function to represent ED instead of the traditional quadratic function, to make the system robust against nonlinearities of ...

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a swarm intelligence optimization method inspired from birds’ flocking or fish schooling. Many improved versions of PSO are reported in literature, including some by the authors. Original as well as improved versions of PSO have proven their applicability to various fields like science, engineering and industries. Economic dispatch (ED) problem is one of the...

The classification system is generally categorized into Neural Network(NN) Classification or Data Mining classification and it comprises the tasks of pre-processing, feature extraction, classification and evaluation. The choice of classification method is related to the classes/groups, patterns/features, feature extraction, feature selection, the selection of training, testing samples and its t...

Using robot manipulators for high accuracy applications require precise value of the kinematics parameters. Since measurement of kinematics parameters are usually associated with errors and accurate measurement of them is an expensive task, automatic calibration of robot link parameters makes the task of kinematics parameters determination much easier. In this paper a simple and easy to use alg...

The conventional parameter optimisation of PID controller is easy to produce surge and big overshoot, and therefore heuristics such as genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimisation (PSO) are employed to enhance the capability of traditional techniques. But the major problem of these algorithms is that they may be trapped in the local optima of the objective and lead to poor performance. I...
