Lévy Flight Shuffle Frog Leaping Algorithm Based on Differential Perturbation and Quasi-Newton Search by Xinming Zhang, Zihao Fu, Haiyan Chen, Wentao Mao, Shangwang Liu, Guoqi Liu

“…Firstly, the way of updating only one solution which is the worst one at every sub-iteration in LSFLA is replaced with an all-solution updating way in the subgroup to improve the probability of obtaining the best solution, to omit one sorting step at every sub-iteration and the sub-iteration number parameter setting, to reduce the computational complexity and to enhance the optimization efficiency. Secondly, a random differential perturbation approach and an improved Lévy flight updating one are created and used in the subgroup updating to form DLSFLA, that is, the first half frogs in the subgroup use the random differential perturbation updating approach to improve the global search ability, and the last half adopt the improved Lévy flight updating method to keep the advantage of the Lévy flight updating method and overcome its defects. …”

Iris recognition based on generalized Gaussian distribution FDCT_Wrap and FSVM by Zhenhong HE

“…In order to improve the accuracy rate of iris recognition,an improved curvelet transform algorithm for iris recognition was proposed.Firstly,the iris image was decomposed with fast discrete curvelet transform by wrapping algorithm.Mean variance and energy of curvelet sub-band coefficients in different scales and different orientations were extracted.The weights of sub-bands were estimated by generalized Gaussian distribution.The feature vectors with stronger classification ability had large weight,which were calculated to constitute feature vectors of iris image.Finally,feature vectors were matched and recognized by classifier combined with fuzzy support vector machine and binary decision tree.The algorithm performances were tested with UBIRIS and CASIA iris database.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has higher recognition accuracy rate and efficiency.It is feasibility.…”
