The adaptation of the k -means algorithm to solving the multiple ellipses detection problem by using an initial approximation obtained by the DIRECT global optimization algorithm

Rudolf Scitovski, Kristian Sabo (2019)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider the multiple ellipses detection problem on the basis of a data points set coming from a number of ellipses in the plane not known in advance, whereby an ellipse E is viewed as a Mahalanobis circle with center S , radius r , and some positive definite matrix Σ . A very efficient method for solving this problem is proposed. The method uses a modification of the k -means algorithm for Mahalanobis-circle centers. The initial approximation consists of the set of circles whose centers are determined...

The island model as a Markov dynamic system

Robert Schaefer, Aleksander Byrski, Maciej Smołka (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Parallel multi-deme genetic algorithms are especially advantageous because they allow reducing the time of computations and can perform a much broader search than single-population ones. However, their formal analysis does not seem to have been studied exhaustively enough. In this paper we propose a mathematical framework describing a wide class of island-like strategies as a stationary Markov chain. Our approach uses extensively the modeling principles introduced by Vose, Rudolph and their collaborators....

The use of graphics card and nVidia CUDA architecture in the optimization of the heat radiation intensity

Mlýnek, Jaroslav, Srb, Radek, Knobloch, Roman (2015)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

The paper focuses on the acceleration of the computer optimization of heat radiation intensity on the mould surface. The mould is warmed up by infrared heaters positioned above the mould surface, and in this way artificial leathers in the automotive industry are produced (e.g. for car dashboards). The presented heating model allows us to specify the position of infrared heaters over the mould to obtain approximately even heat radiation intensity on the whole mould surface. In this way we can obtain...
