Abstract

An improved particle swarm optimization algorithm, CSPSO (Chaotic Species-based particle swarm optimization), is proposed for solving the template matching problem. Template matching is one of the image comparison techniques widely applied to component existence checking in the printed circuit board (PCB) and electronics assembly industries. The proposed approach adopts the special nonlinear characteristic and ergodicity of chaos to enrich the search ability of the species-based particle swarm optimization (SPSO). To test its performance, the proposed CSPSO-based approach is compared with SPSO-based approach using two experimental studies. The CSPSO-based approach is proven to be superior to the original SPSO-based one in term of efficiency.
