Harvester ants maintain complex nests built several metres underground, with an entire colony of 10,000 ants lasting between 20 and 30 years – matching the lifespan of a queen ant, whose death ...

In this work, it was introduced the ant colony algorithm as a novel approach to optimize density functionals. ... Finally, Figure 1d presents a flowchart of the ACO-based optimization algorithm ...

Ant colony optimization is a simulated evolutionary algorithm which imitates the ants foraging to determine the shortest path between the anthill and a food source. This is a heuristic system with a ...

This paper presents a new linear algorithm for estimating 3D motion from 2D image sequence. The main contribution of the algorithm contains two parts: the establishment of straight-line optical flow ...
