Nowadays, wireless power transfer is ubiquitously used in wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WSNs). Currently, the energy limitation is a grave concern issue for WSNs. However, lifetime enhancement of sensor networks is a challenging task need to be resolved. For addressing this issue, a wireless charging vehicle is an emerging technology to expand the overall network efficiency. The present study focuses on the enhancement of overall network lifetime of the rechargeable wireless sensor network. To resolve the issues mentioned above, we propose swarm intelligence based hard clustering approach using fireworks algorithm with the adaptive transfer function (FWA-ATF). In this work, the virtual clustering method has been applied in the routing process which utilizes the firework optimization algorithm. Still now, an FWA-ATF algorithm yet not applied by any researcher for RWSN. Furthermore, the validation study of the proposed method using the artificial neural network (ANN) backpropagation algorithm incorporated in the present study. Different algorithms are applied to evaluate the performance of proposed technique that gives the best results in this mechanism. Numerical results indicate that our method outperforms existing methods and yield performance up to 80% regarding energy consumption and vacation time of wireless charging vehicle.
This paper presents a new method for the segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of brain tumor. First, discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based soft-thresholding technique is used for removing noise in the MRI. Second, intensity inhomogeneity (IIH) independent of noise is removed from the MRI image. Third, again DWT is used to sharpen the de-noised and IIH corrected image. In this method, the image is decomposed into first level using wavelet decomposition and approximate values are assigned to zero and reconstruct the image results in detailed image. The detailed image is added with the pre-processed image to produce sharpened image. Entropy maximization using Grammatical Swarm (GS) algorithm is used to obtain a set of threshold values and a threshold value is selected with the expert knowledge to separate the lesion part from the other non-diseased cells in the image.
This paper presents segmentation of brain's Magnetic Resonance image for tumor detection using Grammatical Swarm based clustering algorithm. Grammatical Swarm is a variant of Grammatical Evolution which can generate computer programs. First, MR images of brain are de-noised using Discrete Wavelet Transform based soft-thresholding technique. Grammatical Swarm based clustering algorithm is developed to segment the de-noised images to separate the mass lesion or tumor from the non-diseased objects in the image.
