Edge Collapse

Large-scale 3D models consume large computing and storage resources. To address this challenging problem, this paper proposes a new method to obtain the optimal simplified 3D mesh models with the minimum approximation error. First, we propose a feature-preservation edge collapse operation to maintain the feature edges, in which the collapsing cost is calculated in a novel way by combining Gauss curvature and Quadratic Error Metrics (QEM). Second, we introduce the edge splitting operation into the mesh simplification process and propose a hybrid ‘undo/redo’ mechanism that combines the edge splitting and edge collapse operation to reduce the number of long and narrow triangles. Third, the proposed ‘undo/redo’ mechanism can also reduce the approximation error; however, it is impossible to manually choose the best operation sequence combination that can result in the minimum approximation error. To solve this problem, we formulate the proposed mesh simplification process as an optimization model, in which the solution space is composed of the possible combinations of operation sequences, and the optimization objective is the minimum of the approximation error. Finally, we propose a novel optimization algorithm, WOA-DE, by replacing the exploration phase of the original Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) with the mutate and crossover operations of Differential Evolution (DE) to compute the optimal simplified mesh model more efficiently. We conduct numerous experiments to test the capabilities of the proposed method, and the experimental results show that our method outperforms the previous methods in terms of the geometric feature preservation, triangle quality, and approximation error.

Economic Emission Dispatch

Introduction. Dynamic Economic Emission Dispatch is the extended version of the traditional economic emission dispatch problem in which ramp rate is taken into account for the limit of generators in a power network. Purpose. Dynamic Economic Emission Dispatch considered the treats of economy and emissions as competitive targets for optimal dispatch problems, and to reach a solution it requires some conflict resolution. Novelty. The decision-making method to solve the Dynamic Economic Emission Dispatch problem has a goal for each objective function, for this purpose, the multi-objective problem is transformed into single goal optimization by using the weighted sum method and then control/solve by Whale Optimization Algorithm. Methodology. This paper presents a newly developed metaheuristic technique based on Whale Optimization Algorithm to solve the Dynamic Economic Emission Dispatch problem. The main inspiration for this optimization technique is the fact that metaheuristic algorithms are becoming popular day by day because of their simplicity, no gradient information requirement, easily bypass local optima, and can be used for a variety of other problems. This algorithm includes all possible factors that will yield the minimum cost and emissions of a Dynamic Economic Emission Dispatch problem for the efficient operation of generators in a power network. The proposed approach performs well to perform in diverse problem and converge the solution to near best optimal solution. Results. The proposed strategy is validated by simulating on MATLAB® for 5 IEEE standard test system. Numerical results show the capabilities of the proposed algorithm to establish an optimal solution of the Dynamic Economic Emission Dispatch problem in a several runs. The proposed algorithm shows good performance over the recently proposed algorithms such as Multi-Objective Neural Network trained with Differential Evolution, Particle swarm optimization, evolutionary programming, simulated annealing, Pattern search, multi-objective differential evolution, and multi-objective hybrid differential evolution with simulated annealing technique.

Wireless Access Network

: Fiber Wireless Access Network is the blend of passive optical network and wireless access network. This network provides higher capacity, better flexibility, more stability and improved reliability to the users at lower cost. Network component (such as Optical Network Unit (ONU)) placement is one of the major research issues which affects the network design, performance and cost. Considering all these concerns, we implement customized Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) for ONU placement. Initially whale optimization algorithm is applied to get optimized position of ONUs, which is followed by reduction of number of ONUs in the network. Reduction of ONUs is done such that with fewer number of ONUs all routers present in the network can communicate. In order to ensure the performance of the network we compute the network parameters such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Total Time for Delivering the Packets in the Network (TTDPN) and percentage reduction in power consumption for the proposed algorithm. The performance of the proposed work is compared with existing algorithms (deterministic and centrally placed ONUs with predefined hops) and has been analyzed through extensive simulation. The result shows that the proposed algorithm is superior to the other algorithms in terms of minimum required ONUs and reduced power consumption in the network with almost same packet delivery ratio and total time for delivering the packets in the network. Therefore, present work is suitable for developing cost-effective FiWi network with maintained network performance.
