In this study, a novel type of swarm intelligence algorithm referred as the anas platyrhynchos optimizer is proposed by simulating the cluster action of the anas platyrhynchos. Starting from the core of swarm intelligence algorithm, on the premise of the use of few parameters and ease in implementation, the mathematical model and algorithm flow of the anas platyrhynchos optimizer are given, and the balance between global search and local development in the algorithm is ensured. The algorithm was applied to a benchmark function and a cooperative path planning solution for multi-UAVs as a means of testing the performance of the algorithm. The optimization results showed that the anas platyrhynchos optimizer is more superior in solving optimization problems compared with the mainstream intelligent algorithm. This study provides a new idea for solving more engineering problems.

<p>Evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence meta-heuristics are exceptional instances that environment has been a never-ending source of creativeness. The behavior of bees, bacteria, glow-worms, fireflies and other beings have stirred swarm intelligence scholars to create innovative optimization algorithms. This paper proposes the Meerkat Clan Algorithm (MCA) that is a novel swarm intelligence algorithm resulting from watchful observation of the Meerkat (Suricata suricatta) in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. This animal shows an exceptional intelligence, tactical organizational skills, and remarkable directional cleverness in its traversal of the desert when searching for food. A Meerkat Clan Algorithm (MCA) proposed to solve the optimization problems through reach the optimal solution by efficient way comparing with another swarm intelligence. Traveling Salesman Problem uses as a case study to measure the capacity of the proposed algorithm through comparing its results with another swarm intelligence. MCA shows its capacity to solve the Traveling Salesman’s Problem. Its dived the solutions group to sub-group depend of meerkat behavior that gives a good diversity to reach an optimal solution. Paralleled with the current algorithms for resolving TSP by swarm intelligence, it has been displayed that the size of the resolved problems could be enlarged by adopting the algorithm proposed here.</p>

A new metaheuristic algorithm is proposed. The algorithm integrates the information sharing as well as the evolution operators in the swarm intelligence algorithm and evolutionary algorithm respectively. The basic soccer player movement is used as the analogy to describe the algorithm. The new method has two basic operators; the move off and the move forward. The proposed method elaborates the reproduction process in evolutionary algorithm with the powerful information sharing in the swarm intelligence algorithm. Examples of implementations are provided for continuous and discrete problems. The experiment results reveal that the proposed method has the potential to become a powerful optimization method. As a new method, the proposed algorithm can be enhanced in many different ways such as investigating the parameter setting, elaborating more aspects of the soccer player movement as well as implementing the proposed method to solve various optimization problems.

With the development of the computer vision field, the acquisition of scene depth information is one of the important topics in the three-dimensional reconstruction of the computer vision field, and its significance is particularly important. The purpose of this paper is to study the virtual viewpoint video synthesis for image restoration based on the intelligent algorithm of wireless network communication. Aiming at the hole problem caused by the change of occlusion relationship, this paper proposes a hole-filling method based on background recognition. A threshold segmentation algorithm is used to reduce the filling priority of foreground pixels at the boundary of the hole and fully solve the hole problem. This paper also proposes a wireless sensor network node positioning model with swarm intelligence algorithm, which combines swarm intelligence algorithm with some key issues of wireless sensor network, speeds up the convergence, and improves the traditional intelligence algorithm. According to the experimental data in this paper, the algorithm in this paper is about 20% higher than the traditional algorithm in PSNR. On SSIM, the performance of the algorithm in this paper is 4.6% higher than the traditional algorithm at most, and the lowest is 2.2%.

Swarm intelligence is a discipline which makes use of a number of agents for solving optimization problems by producing low cost, fast and robust solutions. The dragonfly algorithm (DA), a recently proposed swarm intelligence algorithm, is inspired by the dynamic and static swarming behaviors of dragonflies, and it has been found to have a higher performance in comparison to other swarm intelligence and evolutionary algorithms in numerous applications. There are only a few surveys about the dragonfly algorithm, and we have found that they are limited in certain aspects. Hence, in this paper, we present a more comprehensive survey about DA, its applications in various domains, and its performance as compared to other swarm intelligence algorithms. We also analyze the hybrids of DA, the methods they employ to enhance the original DA, their performance as compared to the original DA, and their limitations. Moreover, we categorize the hybrids of DA according to the type of problem that they have been applied to, their objectives, and the methods that they utilize.

This paper proposes a new hybrid swarm intelligence algorithm that encompasses the feature of three major swarm algorithms. It combines the fast convergence of the Cuckoo Search (CS), the dynamic root change of the Firefly Algorithm (FA), and the continuous position update of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The Compound Swarm Intelligence Algorithm (CSIA) will be used to solve a set of standard benchmark functions. The research study compares the performance of CSIA with that of CS, FA, and PSO, using the same set of benchmark functions. The comparison aims to test if the performance of CSIA is Competitive to that of the CS, FA, and PSO algorithms denoting the solution results of the benchmark functions.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are gradually used in logistics transportation. They are forbidden to fly in some airspace. To ensure the safety of UAVs, reasonable path planning and design is one of the key factors. Aiming at the problem of how to improve the success rate of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) maneuver penetration, a method of UAV penetration path planning and design is proposed. Ant colony algorithm has strong path planning ability in biological swarm intelligence algorithm. Based on the modeling of UAV planning and threat factors, improved ant colony algorithm is used for UAV penetration path planning and design. It is proposed that the path with the best pheromone content is used as the planning path. Some principles are given for using ant colony algorithm in UAV penetration path planning. By introducing heuristic information into the improved ant colony algorithm, the convergence is completed faster under the same number of iteratives. Compared with classical methods, the total steps reduced by 56% with 50 ant numbers and 200 iterations. 62% fewer steps to complete the first iteration. It is found that the optimal trajectory planned by the improved ant colony algorithm is smoother and the shortest path satisfying the constraints.
