A High-Level And Adaptive Metaheuristic Selection Algorithm For Solving Highdimensional Bound-Constrained Continuous Optimization Problems, Osman Gökalp, Aybars Uğur

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Metaheuristic algorithms are used to find sufficiently good solutions for the optimization problems that are not solvable in a polynomial time. Although metaheuristics offer a general problem-solving framework and can be applied to various types of optimization problems, their performances depend heavily on the problem to be solved. Thus, hybrid metaheuristics are used to combine strong parts of different algorithms. In this study, a novel adaptive metaheuristic selection algorithm is proposed for solving bound-constrained continuous optimization problems. The developed method hybridizes artificial bee colony, differential evolution, and particle swarm optimization at a high level where each algorithm works independently from …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we first design a sensor with low power and low cost components, namely an MSP430G2553 microcontroller (MCU), nRF24L01+ communication unit, and a light-dependent resistor (LDR). Then, connecting these custom-designed sensors with a central node, a fusion center (FC), we form a wireless sensor network (WSN) in which sensors measure light intensities and send their measurements to the FC for final inference. Since the default addressing structure of nRF24L01+ can simultaneously connect up to 6 devices, in order to have more connections, we define a new addressing scheme for the transmissions between sensors and the FC.

Multiplicative-Additive Despeckling In Sar Images, Gülay Aksoy, Fati̇h Nar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Visual and automatic analyses using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are challenging because of inherently formed speckle noise. Thus, reducing speckle noise in SAR images is an important research area for SAR image analysis. During speckle noise reduction, homogeneous regions should be smoothed while details such as edges and point scatterers need to be preserved. General speckle noise model contains gamma distributed multiplicative part which is dominant and Gaussian distributed additive part which is in low amount and mostly neglected in literature. In this study, a novel sparsity-driven speckle reduction method is proposed that takes both multiplicative noise model and …
