Adaptive infrared image contrast enhancement is presented based on modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) and incomplete Beta Function. On the basis of traditional PSO, modified PSO integrates into the theory of Multi-Particle Swarm and evolution theory algorithm. By using separate search space optimal solution of multiple particles, the global search ability is improved. And in the iteration procedures, timely adjustment of acceleration coefficients is convenient for PSO to find the global optimal solution in the later iteration. Through infrared image simulation, experimental results show that the modified PSO is better than the standard PSO in computing speed and convergence.

Image contrast enhancement is mostly preferred approach for Medical Image Processing field. In this work, a new Histogram Specification (HS) based image contrast enhancement scheme is described. The optimal values of the weighing constraints are progressed through the standard of Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) with respect to the histogram of the input processed images. The proposed scheme improves the contrast of the input processed image superior than its existing histogram equalization methods. Henceforth, this method can efficiently be utilized in the fields including image processing, electronics etc. The overall evaluation of the HS scheme can be computed by means of Discrete Entropy (DE) and Contrast Improvement Index (CII).

This research aims at solving the special case of multistate assignment problem. The problem includes many special characteristics which are not normally included in the assignment problem. There are many types and conditions of vehicles included in the planning and different road conditions of traveling, which would have different effects on fuel consumption, which is the objective function of the study. The proposed problem is determined as a large and complicated problem making the optimization software unable to find an optimal solution within the proper time. Therefore, the researchers had developed a method for determining the optimal solution by using particle swarm optimization (PSO) in which the methods were developed for solving the proposed problem. This method is called the modified particle swarm optimization (modified PSO). The proposed method was tested with three groups of tested instances, i.e., small, medium, and large groups. The computational result shows that, in small-sized and medium-sized problems, the proposed method performed not significantly different from the optimization software, and in the large-sized problems, the modified PSO method gave 3.61% lower cost than the cost generated from best solution generated from optimization software within 72 hours and it gave 11.03% better solution than that of the best existing heuristics published so far (differential evolution algorithm).

The time synchronization network provides time benchmark tasks for various services in electric power system. With the development of the power grid, the applications require more and more accurate time synchronization precision. In this paper, a method of time synchronization based on adaptive filtering with a modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO-AF) was presented to satisfy the high precision and high security requirements of the time synchronization for smart grid. The modified PSO was introduced for tuning the weight coefficients of the adaptive filter to improve the filtering property. The proposed MPSO-AF hybrid algorithm can combine the advantageous properties of the modified PSO and the adaptive filtering algorithm to enhance the performance of the time synchronization. A comparison of simulation results shows the optimization efficacy of the algorithm.

Due to the influence of artificial factor and slow convergence of particle swarm algorithm (PSO) during parameters selection of support vector machine (SVM), this paper proposes a modified particle swarm optimization support vector machine (MPSO-SVM). A Steam turbine vibration fault diagnosis model was established and the failure data was used in fault diagnosis. The results of application show the model can get automatic optimization about the related parameters of support vector machine and achieve the ideal optimal solution globally. MPSO-SVM strategy is feasible and effective compared with traditional particle swarm optimization support vector machine (PSO-SVM) and genetic algorithm support vector machine (GA-SVM).

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a popular optimization technique which is inspired by the social behavior of birds flocking or fishes schooling for finding food. It is a new metaheuristic search algorithm developed by Eberhart and Kennedy in 1995. However, the standard PSO has a shortcoming, i.e., premature convergence and easy to get stack or fall into local optimum. Inertia weight is an important parameter in PSO, which significantly affect the performance of PSO. There are many variations of inertia weight strategies have been proposed in order to overcome the shortcoming. In this paper, a new modified PSO with random activation to increase exploration ability, help trapped particles for jumping-out from local optimum and avoid premature convergence is proposed. In the proposed method, an inertia weight is decreased linearly until half of iteration, and then a random number for an inertia weight is applied until the end of iteration. To emphasis the role of this new inertia weight adjustment, the modified PSO paradigm is named Modified PSO with random activation (MPSO-RA). The experiments with three famous benchmark functions show that the accuracy and success rate of the proposed MPSO-RA increase of 43.23% and 32.95% compared with the standard PSO.
