Concerning the problems of poor classification of Capsule Network (CapsNet) on complex datasets and large number of parameters in the routing process, a Capsule Network based on Multipath feature (MCNet) was proposed, including a novel capsule feature extractor and a novel capsule pooling method. By the capsule feature extractor, the features of different layers and locations were extracted in parallel from multiple paths, and then the features were encoded into capsule features containing more semantic information. In the capsule pooling method, the most active capsules at each position of the capsule feature map were selected, and the effective capsule features were represented by a small number of capsules. Comparisons were performed on four datasets (CIFAR-10, SVHN, Fashion-MNIST, MNIST) with models such as CapsNet. Experimental results show that MCNet has the classification accuracy of 79.27% on CIFAR-10 dataset and the number of trainable parameters of 6.25×106; compared with CapsNet, MCNet has the classification accuracy improved by 8.7%, and the number of parameters reduced by 46.8%. MCNet can effectively improve the classification accuracy while reducing the number of trainable parameters.
Aiming at the shortcomings of Wolf Pack Algorithm (WPA), such as slow convergence, being easy to fall into local optimum and unsatisfactory artificial wolf interactivity, a wolf pack algorithm based on modified search strategy was proposed, which named Modified Wolf Pack Algorithm (MWPA). In order to promote the exchange of information between the artificial wolves, improve the wolves' grasp of the global information and enhance the exploring ability of wolves, the interactive strategy was introduced into scouting behaviors and summoning behaviors. An adaptive beleaguering strategy was proposed for beleaguering behaviors, which made the algorithm have a regulatory role. With the constant evolution of algorithm, the beleaguered range of wolves decreased constantly and the exploitation ability of algorithm strengthened constantly. Thus the convergence rate of algorithm was enhanced. The simulation results of six typical complex functions of optimization problems show that compared to the Wolf Colony search Algorithm based on the strategy of the Leader (LWCA), the proposed method obtains higher solving accuracy, faster convergence speed and is especially suitable for function optimization problems.
In order to manage the metadata of massive spatial data storage effectively, a distributed metadata server management structure based on consistent hashing was introduced, and on this basis, a metadata wheeled backup strategy was proposed in this paper, which stored Hash metadata node after excuting a consistent Hash algorithm according to the method of data backup, and it effectively alleviated the single point of metadata management and access bottleneck problems. Finally testing wheel backup strategy, it obtained the optimum number of metadata node backup solution. Compared with the single point of metadata servers, the proposed strategy improves the metadata safety, reduces the access delay, and improves the load balance of distributed metadata server combined with virtual nodes.
Aiming at the shortcomings of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm and its improved algorithms in solving high-dimensional complex function optimization problems, such as low solution precision, slow convergence, being easy to fall in local optimum and too many control parameters of improved algorithms, an improved artificial bee colony algorithm using phased search was proposed. In this algorithm, to reduce the probability of being falling into local extremum, the segmental-search strategy was used to make the employed bees have different characteristics in different stages of search. The escape radius was defined to guide the precocity individual to jump out of the local extremum and avert the blindness of escape operation. Meanwhile, to improve the quality of initialization food sources, the uniform distribution method and opposition-based learning theory were used. The simulation results of eight typical high-dimensional complex functions of optimization problems show that the proposed method not only obtains higher solving accuracy, but also has faster convergence speed. It is especially suitable for solving high-dimensional optimization problems.
To satisfy ε-sample condition for Delaunay-based triangulation surface reconstruction algorithm, a Delaunay-based non-uniform sampling algorithm for noisy point clouds was proposed. Firstly, the surface Medial Axis (MA) was approximated by the negative poles computed by k-nearest neighbors Voronoi vertices. Secondly, the Local Feature Size (LFS) of surface was estimated with the approximated medial axis. Finally, combined with the Bound Cocone algorithm, the unwanted interior points were removed. Experiments show that the new algorithm can simplify noisy point clouds accurately and robustly while keeping the boundary features well. The simplified point clouds are suitable for Delaunay-based triangulation surface reconstruction algorithm.
