Computational intelligence: revised and selected papers of the International Joint Conference, IJCCI 2013, Vilamoura, Portugal, September 20-22, 2013

摘要

This book is composed of selected papers that were submitted and presented at the Fifth International Joint Conference on Computational Intelligence (IJCCI), held in Portugal in 2013. The conference is divided into three categories: evolutionary computation theory and applications (ECTA), fuzzy computation theory and applications (FCTA), and neural computation theory and applications (NCTA). The first part of the book consists of ten papers. This review discusses three that I found very interesting. In "Incremental Hough Transform: A New Method for Circle Detection," the authors present an extension to the circle Hough transform (CHT) algorithm, which they call incremental CHT (ICHT), where they include the use of trigonometric functions in order to recognize the shape of a circle. The CHT algorithm works by mapping the image space to a parameter space of curves that fit the feature points of the image. The use of trigonometric functions makes ICHT easy to use and fast in computational performance. The hardware implementation of CHT, the algorithm of ICHT, error analysis, and a comparison between CHT and ICHT processing times are well presented.
