Image fusion has gained huge popularity in the field of medical and satellite imaging for image analysis. The lack of usages of image fusion is due to a deficiency of suitable optimization techniques and dedicated hardware. In recent days WOA (whale optimization algorithm) is gaining popularity. Like another straightforward nature-inspired algorithm, WOA has some problems in its searching process. In this paper, we have tried to improve the WOA algorithm by modifying the WOA algorithm. This MWOA (modified whale optimization algorithm) algorithm is amalgamed with LSA (local search algorithm) and BA (bat algorithm). The LSA algorithm helps the system to be faster, and BA algorithm helps to increase the accuracy of the system. This optimization algorithm is checked using MATLAB R2018b. Simulated using ModelSim, and the synthesizing is done using Xilinx Vivado 18.2 synthesis tool. The outcome of the simulation result and the synthesis result outshine other metaheuristic optimization algorithms.


Curvelet transform is a multiscale directional transformer, which allows optimal non-adaptive sparse representation of object with edge. In this paper, a new image fusion technique has been developed by combination of whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and simulated annealing (SA) along with curvelet transform. The resulting combined algorithm is abbreviated as hybrid whale optimization algorithm with simulated annealing. Initially, hWOA-SA has been applied to enhancing the quality of image using de-noising scheme. Afterwards, the curvelet transform has been employed to carry out the fusion of images. In terms of PSNR, the curvelet transform exhibits the better performance. The effectiveness and validation of the proposed scheme has been carried-out using quality matrices. The performance analysis is carried out after checking the effectiveness of proposed approach by evaluating the various parameters such as: RSME, PFE, MAE, CORR, SNR, PSNR, MI, UQI and SSIM and compared with numerous techniques. Simulation results obtained from proposed hWOA-SA based image fusion are very competitive and better than other image fusion technique available in the literature.

Abstract In the era of Web 2.0, the data are growing immensely and is assisting E-commerce websites for better decision-making. Collaborative filtering, one of the prominent recommendation approaches, performs recommendation by finding similarity. However, this approach fails in managing large-scale datasets. To mitigate the same, an efficient map-reduce-based clustering recommendation system is presented. The proposed method uses a novel variant of the whale optimization algorithm, tournament selection empowered whale optimization algorithm, to attain the optimal clusters. The clustering efficiency of the proposed method is measured on four large-scale datasets in terms of F-measure and computation time. The experimental results are compared with state-of-the-art map-reduce-based clustering methods, namely map-reduce-based K-means, map-reduce-based bat algorithm, map-reduce-based Kmeans particle swarm optimization, map-reduce-based artificial bee colony, and map-reduce-based whale optimization algorithm. Furthermore, the proposed method is tested as a recommendation system on the publicly available movie-lens dataset. The performance validation is measured in terms of mean absolute error, precision and recall, over a different number of clusters. The experimental results assert that the proposed method is a permissive approach for the recommendation over large-scale datasets.
