The Breeder Genetic Algorithm (BGA) is based on the equation for the response to selection. In order to use this equation for prediction , the variance of the tness of the population has to be estimated. For the usual sexual recombination this can be diicult. In this paper the new points (oospring) are generated from distributions, a uniform distribution and a distribution generated by univaria...

This work explains an advanced and accurate brain MRI segmentation method. MR brain image segmentation is to know the anatomical structure, to identify the abnormalities, and to detect various tissues which help in treatment planning prior to radiation therapy. This proposed technique is a Multilevel Thresholding (MT) method based on the phenomenon of Electromagnetism and it segments the image ...

Eliminating noise from the original image is still a challenging task for researchers. Several algorithms have been proposed and each of them has its own assumptions, advantages & limitations. The paper proposes the noise reduction method for the medical images by using Hybrid BFO i.e the fusion of BFO (Bacteria foraging optimization) and the technique of contourlet transform and the results ar...

Feature selection (FS) is a global optimization problem in machine learning, which reduces the number of features, removes irrelevant, noisy and redundant data, and results in acceptable recognition accuracy. This paper presents a novel feature selection algorithm based on Bacteria Foraging Optimization (BFO). The algorithm is applied to coefficients extracted by discrete cosine transforms (DCT...

This Paper Presents A Method Of Obtaining Optimal Pi Gains For A Fuzzy-Pi Controller To Control The Frequency Of Micro Hydro Power Plant (Mhpp).Conventional Control Techniques Such As Proportional, Integral And Derivative (Pid) Controllers Have Been Used As Controllers To Control The Frequency Of Mhpp, But These Controllers Attain Poor Control Performances, Such As High Overshoots And Long Sett...

Robust face recognition and classification has been an area of interest for researchers in many disciplines of science and engineering. In this paper, we present a new technique for designing optimal filters for face classification using the bacteria foraging algorithm. The simulation results show that the optimal filter is able to classify the face images correctly into the target and anti-tar...

This paper presents the speed control of a DC series motor supplied by Photovoltaic (PV) system. The proposed design problem of speed controller is formulated as an optimization problem. Bacteria Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) is employed to search for optimal Proportional Integral (PI) parameters of speed controller by minimizing the time domain objective function. The performance of t...

Today due to increasing development and importance of petroleum activities andmarine transport as well as due to the mining of seabed, building activities such as construction of docks, platforms and structures as those in coastal areas and oceans has increased significantly. Concrete strength as one of the most important necessary parameters for designing, depends on many factors such as mixtu...
