Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To realize an accurate releasing by a drug-delivery capsule in the gastrointestinal tract, a method of magnetic vector detection with angle sensing has been presented to track the capsule in real time; and a prototype of the tracking system has been developed. Based on the fundamentals of spatial distribution of magnetic vector fields, a nonlinear model of tracking is established. An improved artificial bee colony algorithm is studied to solve the magnetic inverse problem. In the improved algorithm, a chaos operator is used to generate an initial population and a sort selection is used to prevent premature convergence. …
