Novel 'cuckoo search algorithm' beats particle swarm optimization in engineering design Date: May 28, 2010 Source: Inderscience Summary: The familiar early summer call of the cuckoo has inspired ...

Different from the method used in most of the previous studies, discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) algorithm was used to identify and classify emergent vegetation (EV), yellow algae (YA), ...

Particle swarm optimization is a meta-heuristic rather than a specific algorithm, meaning there are many possible implementations. The movement of a particle is controlled by the particle's velocity ...
