Dominant Symmetry Plane Detection for Point-Based 3D Models by Chen He, Lei Wang, Yonghui Zhang, Chunmeng Wang

“…The proposed algorithm works as follows: first, using the point element’s area as the initial weight, a weighted PCA is performed and a plane is selected as the initial symmetry plane; and then an iterative method is used to adjust the approximate symmetry plane step by step to make it tend to perfect symmetry plane (dominant symmetry plane). …”

SOLUTION OF FULLY FUZZY NONLINEAR EQUATION SYSTEMS USING GENETIC ALGORITHM by Fatimatuzzahra Fatimatuzzahra, Aang Nuryaman, La Zakaria, Agus Sutrisno

“…In this research, the steps to find the solution of nonlinear fully fuzzy equation systems using genetic algorithms are studied, which in the solution process is based on the theory of evolution and natural selection. The solution steps taken are first converting the fully fuzzy system of equations into a system of crisp equations, next constructing the system of strict equations as a multi-objective optimization problem, and lastly solving the optimization problem using a genetic algorithm which includes initialization, evaluation, selection, crossover, and mutation. …”
