Wireless Sensor Network Deployment Optimization Based on Two Flower Pollination Algorithms

Abstract: For the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) heterogeneous node deployment optimization problem with obstacles in the monitoring area, two new flower pollination algorithms (FPA) are proposed to deploy the network. Firstly, an improved flower pollination algorithm (IFPA) is proposed based on FPA, aiming at the shortcomings of the convergence speed is slow and the precision is not high enough of FPA. The nonlinear convergence factor is designed to correct the scaling factor of FPA, the Tent chaotic map effectively maintains the diversity of the population in the late iteration, and a greedy crossover strategy is designed to assist the remaining individual search with better individuals. Secondly, based on FPA, a non-dominated sorting multi-objective flower pollination algorithm (NSMOFPA) is proposed. The external archive strategy and leader strategy are introduced, to solve the global pollination problem. The proposed crowding degree method and the introduced elite strategy effectively maintain the diversity of the population. Then, IFPA is applied to WSN deployment aiming at optimizing coverage rate, simulation experiments show that IFPA can obtain a higher coverage rate with shorter iterations, which can save network deployment costs. Finally, applying NSMOFPA to the WSN deployment with optimization objectives for coverage rate, node radiation overflow rate and energy consumption rate. The experimental results verify that NSMOFPA has a good optimization effect and can provide a better solution for WSN deployment.

Automatic Registration of Terrestrial and Airborne Point Clouds Using Building Outline Features

Abstract: Terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) and airborne laser scanner (ALS) can effectively capture point clouds from side or top view, respectively. Registering point clouds captured by ALS and TLS provides an integrated data source for three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction. However, registration is difficult between TLS and ALS data because of the differences in scanning perspectives, scanning area, and spatial resolutions. A new method that can achieve automatic horizontal registration with ALS and TLS data based on building contour features is proposed in this study. The key steps include horizontal and vertical registrations based on 2-D building outlines and ground planes in ALS and TLS data, respectively. First, the 2-D building outlines are extracted from both ALS and TLS data. Second, the horizontal registration is accomplished by using the four-point congruent sets method for initial registration and the global optimization method for refined registration. Finally, the ground surface in the same region of ALS and TLS data are fitted for vertical registration, and the average elevation difference between the corresponding ground planes is calculated as the translation parameter value in the vertical direction. The results indicate that the proposed method can successfully match ALS and TLS data with an accuracy of 0.2-m both in the horizontal and vertical directions.
