In this book, differential evolution and its modified variants are applied to the clustering of data and images. Metaheuristics have emerged as potential algorithms for dealing with complex optimization problems, which are otherwise difficult to solve using traditional methods. In this regard, differential evolution is considered to be a highly promising technique for optimization and is being used to solve various real-time problems. The book studies the algorithms in detail, tests them o...

This book explores the use of a socio-inspired optimization algorithm (the Cohort Intelligence algorithm), along with Cognitive Computing and a Multi-Random Start Local Search optimization algorithm. One of the most important types of media used for steganography is the JPEG image. Considering four important aspects of steganography techniques – picture quality, high data-hiding capacity, secret text security and computational time – the book provides extensive information on four novel im...

This book provides an emerging computational intelligence tool in the framework of collective intelligence for modeling and controlling distributed multi-agent systems referred to as Probability Collectives. In the modified Probability Collectives methodology a number of constraint handling techniques are incorporated, which also reduces the computational complexity and improved the convergence and efficiency. Numerous examples and real world problems are used for illustration, which may a...

This book examines distributed video coding (DVC) and multiple description coding (MDC), two novel techniques designed to address the problems of conventional image and video compression coding. Covering all fundamental concepts and core technologies, the chapters can also be read as independent and self-sufficient, describing each methodology in sufficient detail to enable readers to repeat the corresponding experiments easily. Topics and features: provides a broad overview of DVC and MDC...

This Volume discusses the underlying principles and analysis of the different concepts associated with an emerging socio-inspired optimization tool referred to as Cohort Intelligence (CI). CI algorithms have been coded in Matlab and are freely available from the link provided inside the book. The book demonstrates the ability of CI methodology for solving combinatorial problems such as Traveling Salesman Problem and Knapsack Problem in addition to real world applications from the healthcar...

The wide gap between the existing security solutions and the actual practical deployment in smart manufacturing, smart home, and remote environments (with respect to wireless robotics) is one of the major reasons why we require novel strategies, mechanisms, architectures, and frameworks. Furthermore, it is also important to access and understand the different level of vulnerabilities and attack vectors in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and Wireless Robotics. This book includes an in-depth e...
