Waste Containment Systems

Slope stability of different waste containment systems is a matter of serious concern due to its impact on air, land, and water pollution, affecting human and aquatic lives. It has been observed that most of the waste containment slope failures are translational failure. In this chapter, the slope stability analysis of the waste containment is discussed with translational failure (wedge analysis) in single and multi-objective optimization framework using genetic algorithm (GA). Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is found to efficient in developing the Pareto front in terms of factor of safety (FOS), height of embankment, and volume of the failed slope. The FOS decreased with increase in height of the slope and the volume of the slope also increased. The optimized slope in terms of different slope angle and with seismic coefficients is also discussed. Such a study will help the professional in deciding the height of the slope as per the FOS in a specified seismic zone.

In this paper, we propose a method to detect Braille blocks from an egocentric viewpoint, which is a key part of many walking support devices for visually impaired people. Our main contribution is to cast this task as a multi-objective optimization problem and exploits both the geometric and the appearance features for detection. Specifically, two objective functions were designed under an evolutionary optimization framework with a line pair modeled as an individual (i.e., solution). Both of the objectives follow the basic characteristics of the Braille blocks, which aim to clarify the boundaries and estimate the likelihood of the Braille block surface. Our proposed method was assessed by an originally collected and annotated dataset under real scenarios. Both quantitative and qualitative experimental results show that the proposed method can detect Braille blocks under various environments. We also provide a comprehensive comparison of the detection performance with respect to different multi-objective optimization algorithms.
