It creates mathematical models according to the habits and social behaviors of coatis: (1) In the group organization of the coatis, half of the coatis climb trees to chase their prey away, while the other half waits beneath to catch it; (2) Coatis avoidance predators behavior. Which gives the algorithm strong global exploration ability. However, over the course of our experiment, we uncovered opportunities for enhancing the algorithm's performance. When confronted with intricate optimization problems, certain limitations surfaced. Much like a long-nosed raccoon gradually narrowing its search range as it approaches the optimal solution, COA algorithm exhibited tendencies that could result in reduced convergence speed and the risk of becoming trapped in local optima. In this paper, we propose an improved coatis optimization algorithm (ICOA) to enhance the algorithm's efficiency. Through a sound-based search envelopment strategy, coatis can capture prey more quickly and accurately, allowing the algorithm to converge more rapidly. By employing a physical exertion strategy, coatis can have a greater variety of escape options when being chased, thereby enhancing the algorithm's exploratory capabilities and the ability to escape local optima. Finally, the lens opposition-based learning strategy is added to improve the algorithm's global performance.

They can be used as an auxiliary means to collect data for current geospatial information systems, which are also widely used in city public safety. Therefore, it is necessary to research remote-sensing images. Therefore, we adopt the multi-threshold image segmentation method in this paper to segment the remote-sensing images for research. We first introduce salp foraging behavior into the continuous ant colony optimization algorithm (ACOR) and construct a novel ACOR version based on salp foraging (SSACO). The original algorithm's convergence and ability to avoid hitting local optima are enhanced by salp foraging behavior. In order to illustrate this key benefit, SSACO is first put up against 14 fundamental algorithms using 30 benchmark test functions in IEEE CEC2017. Then, SSACO is compared against 14 other algorithms. The experimental results are examined from various angles, and the findings convincingly demonstrate the main selling point of SSACO. We performed segmentation comparison studies based on 12 remote sensing images between SSACO segmentation techniques and several peer segmentation approaches to demonstrate the benefits of SSACO in remote sensing image segmentation. Peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity index, and feature similarity index evaluation of the segmentation results demonstrated the benefits of the SSACO-based segmentation approach. SSACO is an excellent optimizer since it seeks to serve as a guide and a point of reference for using remote sensing image algorithms in urban public safety.","PeriodicalId":48611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Design and Engineering","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136079375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, whether different levels of BIM prior knowledge affect students’ VR experimental learning, if at all, has not been examined. Therefore, this study employs a teaching intervention experiment to access the VR learning process based on the BIM prior knowledge. A total of 47 students, from the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, participated in the experiment. They were grouped according to whether they had taken the prior BIM tutorial section, with twenty-three participants in the group having completed the tutorial and twenty-four participants in the group that had not. Experiment materials were created and rendered via Autodesk Revit and Iris VR; the materials supported three tasks related to the underground design review scenarios and three other tasks about site planning review scenarios. After the experiment, a comparison study was done to discuss their differences based on VR task performances and satisfaction. The results revealed that the BIM prior knowledge mediated both the two-dimension and three-dimension navigations when students performed the tasks. Moreover, the relationship differences within the satisfactions showed that BIM prior knowledge effectively affected the learning outcomes. In conclusion, the comparison study implies that students’ BIM prior knowledge is efficacious in the students’ VR task performance and their VR satisfaction from cognitive and memory perspectives.","PeriodicalId":48611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Design and Engineering","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136015591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a modified beluga whale optimization(MBWO) with a multi-strategy. It was inspired by beluga whales' two behaviors: group gathering for foraging and searching for new habitats in long-distance migration. This paper proposes a group gathering strategy (GAs) and a migration strategies (Ms). The group aggregation strategy can improve the local development ability of the algorithm and accelerate the overall Rate of convergence through the group aggregation fine search; The migration strategy randomly moves towards the periphery of the population, enhancing the ability to jump out of local optima. In order to verify the optimization ability of MBWO, this article conducted comprehensive testing on MBWO using 23 benchmark functions, IEEE CEC2014, and IEEE CEC2021.
