Particle Swarm Optimisation and Genetic Algorithm

2011-12-19T09:40:00.002+01:00

"Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a relatively recent heuristic search method whose
mechanics are inspired by the swarming or collaborative behavior of biological populations.
PSO is similar to the Genetic Algorithm (GA) in the sense that these two evolutionary
heuristics are population-based search methods. In other words, PSO and the GA move
from a set of points (population) to another set of points in a single iteration with likely
improvement using a combination of deterministic and probabilistic rules. The GA and its
many versions have been popular in academia and the industry mainly because of its
intuitiveness, ease of implementation, and the ability to effectively solve highly nonlinear,
mixed integer optimization problems that are typical of complex engineering systems. The
drawback of the GA is its expensive computational cost." queted from "A COMPARISON OF PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION AND THE GENETIC ALGORITHM"

_____
The pseudo code of PSO procedure is as follows

For each particle
Initialize particle
END

Do
For each particle
Calculate fitness value
If the fitness value is better than the best fitness value (pBest) in history
set current value as the new pBest
End

Choose the particle with the best fitness value of all the particles as the gBest
For each particle
Calculate particle velocity according equation (a)
Update particle position according equation (b)
End
While maximum iterations or minimum error criteria is not attained
_____

Most of evolutionary techniques have the following procedure:
1. Random generation of an initial population
2. Evaluate the fitness value for each subject.
3. Reproduction of the population based on fitness values, add random solution to explore the space of solution.
4. If requirements are met, then stop. Otherwise go back to 2.
_____

Using evolutionary algorithm or PSO are nice formulation for some complex problem but visualizing the evolutionary process is fun.

A short but simple GDB tutorial

Quoted from Geeks3D "Here is a short tutorial about GBD for beginners. GDB is the powerful command line based debugger available with Linux. If you usually use a visual debugger like the one integrated in Visual Studio, a command line debugger like GDB can be a bit… frightening. But actually it’s quite easy to step into your code with it. Few commands are necessary to quickly start using GDB for basic debugging tasks."

Spark: Modular, Composable Shaders for Graphics Hardware

Spark: Modular, Composable Shaders for Graphics Hardware

By Tim Foley (Intel Corporation and Stanford University), Pat Hanrahan (Stanford University)

In creating complex real-time shaders, programmers should be able to decompose code into independent, localized modules of their choosing. Current real-time shading languages, however, enforce a fixed decomposition into per-pipeline-stage procedures. Program concerns at other scales - including those that cross-cut multiple pipeline stages - cannot be expressed as reusable modules.

We present a shading language, Spark, and its implementation for modern graphics hardware that improves support for separation of concerns into modules. A Spark shader class can encapsulate code that maps to more than one pipeline stage, and can be extended and composed using object-oriented inheritance. In our tests, shaders written in Spark achieve performance within 2% of HLSL.

Official Microsoft Kinect SDK is out

2011-06-17T11:25:00.002+02:00

"The Kinect for Windows SDK beta is a starter kit for applications developers that includes APIs, sample code, and drivers. This SDK enables the academic research and enthusiast communities to create rich experiences by using Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect sensor technology on computers running Windows 7."

Source : Microsoft

They have put focus on skeletal recognition and tracking. As sample you will have a game... and more

Official samples:

"Skeletal Viewer—Capturing Data with the NUI API (C++ and C#)
The Kinect sensor includes two cameras: one delivers depth information and the other delivers color data. The NUI API enables applications to access and manipulate this data. The SkeletalViewer sample uses the NUI API to render data from the Kinect sensor’s cameras as images on the screen. The managed sample uses WPF to render captured images, and the native application uses DirectX.

ShapeGame—Creating a Game with Audio and Skeletal Tracking
Displays the tracked skeletons of two players together with shapes falling from the sky. Players can control the shapes by moving and speaking commands.

Audio Capture Raw (C++)
The Kinect sensor’s audio component is a four-element microphone array. The AudioCaptureRaw sample uses the Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) to capture the raw audio stream from the Kinect sensor’s microphone array and write it to a .wav file.

MicArrayEchoCancellation—Acoustic Echo Cancellation, Beam Forming, and Source Localization (C++)
The primary way for C++ applications to access the Kinect sensor’s microphone array is through the MSRKinectAudio DirectX Media Object (DMO). The MSRKinectAudio DMO supports all standard microphone array functionality, and adds support for beamforming and source localization. The MicArrayEchoCancellation sample shows how to use the KinectAudio DMO as a DirectShow® source to access the Kinect sensor’s microphone array. This sample uses acoustic echo cancellation to record a high-quality audio stream and beamforming and source localization to determine the selected beam and the direction of the sound source.

MFAudioFilter—Media Foundation Audio Filter (C++)
Shows how to capture an audio stream from the Kinect sensor’s microphone array by using the MSRKinectAudio DMO in filter mode in a Windows Media Foundation topology.

RecordAudio—Recording an Audio Stream and Monitoring Direction (C#)
Demonstrates how to capture an audio stream from the Kinect sensor’s microphone array and monitor the currently selected beam and sound source direction.

Speech—Recognizing Voice Commands (C#)
Demonstrates how to use the Kinect sensor’s microphone array with the Microsoft.Speech API to recognize voice commands."

AMD gDEBugger, an advanced OpenGL and OpenCL debugger

2011-06-15T08:46:00.000+02:00

AMD have released an integrated debugger for OpenGL and OpenCL to Visual Studio.

AMD gDEBugger is an advanced OpenGL and OpenCL debugger, profiler and memory analyzer. Actually AMD gDEBugger is based on the well known gDEBugger by Graphic Remedy. This new debugger is a plugin for Visual Studio and supports all capabilities of the original gDEBugger as well as new features.

"gDEBugger takes the mystery out of debugging OpenCL and OpenGL, allowing developers to peer into computer and graphic memory objects such as OpenCL images to view their contents as they change from write, copy, and kernel operations. Allocated OpenCL and OpenGL objects are monitored to allow detecting memory leaks and the scenarios that caused the leaking objects to be created, API function call logs can be viewed and saved and unrecommended and deprecated functions and behaviors are marked, with best-practice alternatives offered. "

AMD gDEBugger download should be available shortly.

To install the patch:<br /><br />1. Download the patch attached to this Solution. The patch includes files needed to support these combinations of MATLAB and Visual C++ 2010:<br />• Visual C++ 2010 Professional and 64-bit MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a)<br />• Visual C++ 2010 Professional and 32-bit MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a)<br />• Visual C++ 2010 Express (Windows SDK 7.1 also required) and 64-bit MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a)<br />• Visual C++ 2010 Express and 32-bit MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a)<br /><br />2. Confirm that you are running MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a). You can check this using the About box available at Help->About MATLAB.<br /><br />3. Unzip the contents of the patch into your MATLAB installation. This can be done from within MATLAB itself with the command:<br />unzip( path_to_zip_file, matlabroot);<br /><br />4. Set up MEX to use Visual C++ 2010 with the command:<br /><br /><code> mex –setup</code> Visual C++ 2010 should now be among the listed options.<br /><br />Note that this patch will only work with MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a). Using this patch with any version of MATLAB is not supported.<br /><br />Other MathWorks products such as Real-Time Workshop do not support Visual C++ 2010.<br /><br />Source : <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-D5W493/?solution=1-D5W493">MathWorks</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Panoramic video acquisition</h1> <p>2011-03-11T14:03:00.000+01:00</p> Giroptic French company purpose a nice tiny box to perform 360°*180° acquisitions up to 30mega pixels.<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #767676; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Helvetica, Geneva, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #767676; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Helvetica, Geneva, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">3 fisheye lenses apparently share one imaging sensor, everything hard-mounted into one device, so you'd have zero alignment issues. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #767676; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Helvetica, Geneva, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #767676; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Helvetica, Geneva, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #767676; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Helvetica, Geneva, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">It can shoot panoramic video and take 7000x3000 (= 21 MP) panoramas with HDR bracketing.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.girocam.com/img/product/face_canard.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.girocam.com/img/home/dessus_no_capot.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It replaces nicely the old Giroptic camera :</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.giroptic.com/img/bg_home.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Source : <a href="http://www.girocam.com/">Girocam</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #767676; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Helvetica, Geneva, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Not new idea...

Cinder is cross-platform, and in general the exact same code works under Mac OS X, Windows and a growing list of other platforms — most recently the iPhone and iPad.<br /><br />Cinder is designed to take advantage of platforms’ native capabilities whenever it’s possible, and relies on a minimum of 3rd party libraries. This makes for much lighter, faster applications, and means Cinder apps get free performance, security and capability upgrades whenever the operating system does.<br /><br />We also have worked hard to create a library that feels familiar and intuitive to C++ programmers, building on the idioms and techniques the C++ community has developed over its long history. Cinder’s modern internal memory management virtually eliminates leaks, not only of memory but also of resources like OpenGL textures. We make use of the exceptional Boost libraries to fill in any gaps, and always favor techniques built on features which are currently or soon will be standard C++ (such as std::thread or std::shared_ptr).<br /><br />We are proud of Cinder, and while we think you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more powerful environment for creative coding, we’re just getting started. We hope you’ll take the time to experiment with Cinder yourself, and if you like what you see, come join our community.<br /><br />A example of "demo" application with Kinect :<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/18103562">Hand Tracking</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3981330">Andrew Berg</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.<br /><br />In the same vein you have also <a href="http://code.google.com/p/toxiclibs/">TOXICLIBS </a>:<br /><br />I particularly like this demo :<br />http://toxiclibs.org/2010/01/re-inventing-the-wheel/<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2680/4280053262_5e0676cd13.jpg" imageanchor="1"></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"></div> </article> <article> <h1>More Kinect ( a musical clip )</h1> <p>2011-02-04T15:14:00.000+01:00</p> In the same spirit as the clip with laser point cloud, a music clip with Kinect point cloud :<br /><br /><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/19356569">Echo Lake - Young Silence</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/danielnixon">Dan Nixon</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />Source <a href="http://www.3dvf.com/actualite-181-un-clip-realise-sous-kinect-echo-lake-young-silence.html">3DVF.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Kinect for fun</h1> <p>2011-02-02T16:21:00.003+01:00</p> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Tj2oXnegq8?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><br /><br /><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1Qx8NzuSSJ4?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><div class="blogger-post-footer"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Special effect for "Black swan" film</h1> <p>2011-01-28T10:16:00.001+01:00</p> <div style="text-align: center;"></div><br /><param name="swliveconnect" value="true"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/yo033.swf"><param name="flashvars" value="e=4bffc0037b3a3a49328d685cccfc7c21cc002973d57a44951a38fddf065f5c696a66be9b89ee2d2f0947d4e15d253124c7d296b9a2a5d695fdd446d15f64f11765e48a3f69f68735f6c3da0c05967dbf383ccf85d3b0fcebe03d34a7&width=610&height=368&pid=ro002&autostart=false&allowscriptaccess=always&usefullscreen=true"></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Ati Stream becomes AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) SDK</h1> <p>2011-01-28T09:59:00.000+01:00</p> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">"AMD has renamed its wellknown <b>OpenCL</b> SDK, called <b>ATI Stream SDK</b>, in <b>AMD APP SDK</b>.
