Abstract

This study offers a novel solution to deal with the low signal-to-noise ratio and slow execution rate of the first derivative edge detection algorithms namely, Roberts, Prewitt and Sobel algorithms. Since the two problems are brought about by the complex mathematical operations being used by the algorithms, these were replaced by a discriminant. The developed discriminant, equivalent to the product of total difference and intensity divided by the normalization values, is based on the “pixel pair formation” that produces optimal peak signal to noise ratio. Results of the study applying the discriminant for the edge detection of green coffee beans shows improvement in terms of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), and execution time. It was determined that accuracy level varied according to the total difference of pixel values, intensity, and normalization values. Using the developed edge detection technique led to improvements in the PSNR of 2.091%, 1.16 %, and 2.47% over Sobel, Prewitt, and Roberts respectively. Meanwhile, improvement in the MSE was measured to be 13.06%, 7.48 %, and 15.31% over the three algorithms. Likewise, improvement in execution time was also achieved at values of 69.02%, 67.40 %, and 65.46% over Sobel, Prewitt, and Roberts respectively.

Abstract

This study introduced the Inversed Bi-segmented Average Crossover (IBAX), a novel crossover operator that enhanced the offspring generation of the genetic algorithm (GA) for variable minimization and numerical optimization problems. An attempt to come up with a new mating scheme in generating new offspring under the crossover function through the novel IBAX operator has paved the way to a more efficient and optimized solution for variable minimization particularly on premature convergence problem using GA. A total of 597 records of student-respondents in the evaluation of the faculty instructional performance, represented by 30 variables, from the four State Universities and Colleges (SUC) in Caraga Region, Philippines were used as the dataset.  The simulation results showed that the proposed modification on the Average Crossover (AX) of the genetic algorithm outperformed the genetic algorithm with the original AX operator. The GA with IBAX operator combined with rank-based selection function has removed 20 or 66.66% of the variables while 13 or 43.33% of the variables were removed when GA with AX operator and roulette wheel selection function was used.
