A mathematical model must be established to study the motions of ships in order to control them effectively. An assessment of the model depends on the accuracy of hydrodynamic parameters. An algorithm for the parameter identification of the coupled pitch and heave motions in ships is, thus, put forward in this paper. The algorithm proposed is based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the opposition-based learning theory known as opposition-based particle swarm optimization (OPSO). A definition of the opposition-based learning algorithm is given first of all, with ideas on how to improve this algorithm and its process being presented next. Secondly, the design of the parameter identification algorithm is put forward, modeling the disturbing force and disturbing moment of the identification system and the output parameters of the identification system. Then, the problem involving the hydrodynamic parameters of motions is identified and the coupled pitch and heave motions of a ship described as an optimization problem with constraints. Finally, the numerical simulations of different sea conditions with unknown parameters are carried out using the PSO and OPSO algorithms. The simulation results show that the OPSO algorithm is relatively stable in terms of the hydrodynamic parameters identification of the coupled pitch and heave motions.

This paper proposes a new application of dynamic particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for parameter identification of vector controlled asynchronous propulsion motor (APM) in electric propulsion ship. The dynamic PSO modifies the inertia weight, learning coefficients and two independent random sequences which affect the convergence capability and solution quality, in order to improve the performance of the standard PSO algorithm. The standard PSO and dynamic PSO algorithms use measurements of the mt-axis currents, voltages of APM as the inputs to parameter identification system. The experimental results obtained compare the identified parameters with the actual parameters. There is also a comparison of the solution quality between standard PSO and dynamic PSO algorithms. The results demonstrate that the dynamic PSO algorithm is better than standard PSO algorithm for APM parameter identification. Dynamic PSO algorithm can improve the performance of ship propulsion motor under abrupt load variation.

A parameter identification method for generator speed governor system, which combines decoupling parameter identification and overall recognition with measured data, was proposed in the paper. The method bases on particle swarm optimization, and takes parameter identification as a parameters optimization problem under evaluation function. According to an intelligent optimization algorithms evolutionary strategy, the individual's status is continuously adjusted until the identification system and actual system output error is sufficiently small. Case studies show that the proposed method can be applied to the measured parameters and model validation work.

In the electro-hydraulic servo system for steam turbine, there are many components with nonlinear behaviors. It is difficult to identify these nonlinear parameters with regular identification methods. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a relatively new optimization algorithm which has been applied to a variety of problems. However, it may easily get trapped in local optima when solving complex problems. In this study, a nonlinear model including dead zone is established first and a multi-particle swarm optimization (MPSO) method based on double-layer evolution is studied in detail. Then the parameter identification with this optimization method for the electro-hydraulic servo system of steam turbine are discussed in the paper. Moreover, numerical simulation demonstrates that the accuracy of the proposed parameter identification algorithm can be guaranteed.

Abstract This paper proposes a new refractivity profile estimation method based on the use of AIS signal power and quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm to solve the inverse problem. Automatic identification system (AIS) is a maritime navigation safety communication system that operates in the very high frequency mobile band and was developed primarily for collision avoidance. Since AIS is a one-way communication system which does not need to consider the target echo signal, it can estimate the atmospheric refractivity profile more accurately. Estimating atmospheric refractivity profiles from AIS signal power is a complex nonlinear optimization problem, the QPSO algorithm is adopted to search for the optimal solution from various refractivity parameters, and the inversion results are compared with those of the particle swarm optimization algorithm to validate the superiority of the QPSO algorithm. In order to test the anti-noise ability of the QPSO algorithm, the synthetic AIS signal power with different Gaussian noise levels is utilized to invert the surface-based duct. Simulation results indicate that the QPSO algorithm can invert the surface-based duct using AIS signal power accurately, which verify the feasibility of the new atmospheric refractivity estimation method based on the automatic identification system.

This paper proposes combining the biometric fractal pattern and particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based classifier for fingerprint recognition. Fingerprints have arch, loop, whorl, and accidental morphologies, and embed singular points, resulting in the establishment of fingerprint individuality. An automatic fingerprint identification system consists of two stages: digital image processing (DIP) and pattern recognition. DIP is used to convert to binary images, refine out noise, and locate the reference point. For binary images, Katz's algorithm is employed to estimate the fractal dimension (FD) from a two-dimensional (2D) image. Biometric features are extracted as fractal patterns using different FDs. Probabilistic neural network (PNN) as a classifier performs to compare the fractal patterns among the small-scale database. A PSO algorithm is used to tune the optimal parameters and heighten the accuracy. For 30 subjects in the laboratory, the proposed classifier demonstrates greater efficiency and higher accuracy in fingerprint recognition.
