A Novel Approach to Binary Neighbourhood Operations Utilising a Hardware based RBF Network

چکیده

In this paper we present a novel approach employing a radial basis function (RBF) network to implement binary neighbourhood operations such as dilation, erosion, opening and closing. The network used is a parallel electronic hardware device (ZISC Neuroboard 576) designed by IBM Microelectronics Division. Despite increases in serial processor speed, neighbourhood operations have proven to be computationally intensive, but by utilising a multi-purpose, generalised parallel device computation overheads can be significantly reduced.

Adaptive RBF network control for robot manipulators

TThe uncertainty estimation and compensation are challenging problems for the robust control of robot manipulators which are complex systems. This paper presents a novel decentralized model-free robust controller for electrically driven robot manipulators. As a novelty, the proposed controller employs a simple Gaussian Radial-Basis-Function Network as an uncertainty estimator. The proposed netw...

A Novel Hybrid Modified Binary Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for the Uncertain p-Median Location Problem

Here, we investigate the classical p-median location problem on a network in which the vertex weights and the distances between vertices are uncertain. We propose a programming model for the uncertain p-median location problem with tail value at risk objective. Then, we show that it is NP-hard. Therefore, a novel hybrid modified binary particle swarm optimization algorithm is presented to obtai...

An Integrated Approach for Reliable Facility Location/Network Design Problem with Link Disruption

Proposing a robust designed facility location is one of the most effective ways to hedge against unexpected disruptions and failures in a transportation network system. This paper considers the combined facility location/network design problem with regard to transportation link disruptions and develops a mixed integer linear programming formulation to model it. With respect to the probability o...
