A novel method to solve visual tracking problem: hybrid algorithm of grasshopper optimization algorithm and differential evolution

Abstract

To provide effective resolutions for complex real-life problems and other optimization problems, abundant, various procedures have been presented in the last few decades. This paper proposes a simple but efficient hybrid evolutionary algorithm called GOA-DE for solving visual tracking problems. In the proposed hybrid algorithm, Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) operates in refining the vector. In contrast, the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is used for transforming the decision vectors based on genetic operators. The improvement in maintaining the balance between exploration and exploitation abilities is made by incorporating genetic operators, namely, mutation and crossover in GOA. The success of GOA-DE is estimated by 23 classical benchmark functions, CEC05 functions, and CEC 2014 functions. The GOA-DE algorithm results prove that it is very viable associated with the metaheuristic up-to-date procedures. Similarly, visual tracking problems are resolved by the GOA-DE algorithm as a real challenging case study. Visual tracking several objects robustly in a video stream with complex backgrounds and objects are beneficial in subsequent generation computer vision structures. But, in exercise, it is problematic to plan an effective video-based visual tracking scheme owing to the fast-moving objects, probable occlusions, and diverse light circumstances. Investigational outcomes indicate that the GOA-DE-based tracker can energetically track a random target in many thought-provoking cases.
