1. Optimization-based downscaling of satellite-derived isotropic broadband albedo to high resolutionNiko Lukač, Domen Mongus, Marko Bizjak, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In this paper, a novel method for estimating high-resolution isotropic broadband albedo is proposed, by downscaling satellite-derived albedo using an optimization approach. At first, broadband albedo is calculated from the lower-resolution multispectral satellite image using standard narrow-to-broadband (NTB) conversion, where the surfaces are considered Lambertian with isotropic reflectance. The high-resolution true orthophoto for the same location is segmented with the deep learning-based Segment Anything Model (SAM), and the resulting segments are refined with a classified digital surface model (cDSM) to exclude small transient objects. Afterwards, the remaining segments are grouped using K-means clustering, by considering orthophoto-visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) bands. These segments present surfaces with similar materials and underlying reflectance properties. Next, the Differential Evolution (DE) optimization algorithm is applied to approximate albedo values to these segments so that their spatial aggregate matches the coarse-resolution satellite albedo, by proposing two novel objective functions. Extensive experiments considering different DE parameters over an 0.75 km2 large urban area in Maribor, Slovenia, have been carried out, where Sentinel-2 Level-2A NTB-derived albedo was downscaled to 1 m spatial resolution. Looking at the performed spatiospectral analysis, the proposed method achieved absolute differences of 0.09 per VIS band and below 0.18 per NIR band, in comparison to lower-resolution NTB-derived albedo. Moreover, the proposed method achieved a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.0179 and a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 4.0299% against ground truth broadband albedo annotations of characteristic materials in the given urban area. The proposed method outperformed the Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks (ESRGANs), which achieved an RMSE of 0.0285 and an MAPE of 9.2778%, and the Blind Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (BSRGAN), which achieved an RMSE of 0.0341 and an MAPE of 12.3104%.

2. Procedure for the determination of the appropriate protective foil size to reduce step voltage using a FEM model and evolutionary methodsMarko Jesenik, Peter Kitak, Robert Maruša, Janez Ribič, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: When a fault occurs in a power transmission system, voltages that are dangerous to people may occur. The aim of this work is to present the following method of protection: the use of protective foil installed at the appropriate depth around the transmission pole. Moreover, a procedure is presented for determining the optimal size of the protective film using a minimum number of finite element method calculations. In addition to the finite element method, evolutionary methods are used to determine the appropriate coefficients. Real earthing system data, earth data, and the fault current are obtained from the Slovenian system operator (ELES, d.o.o.) and used exclusively in the presented analyses. The results of determining the appropriate size of the protective foil for two transmission poles are presented, and the determination of the required breakthrough strength of the materials used is shown. The suitability of the proposed method is confirmed. This method is practical and useful when protection with protective foil is required, ensuring only as much as necessary is applied.

3. The approach of using a horizontally layered soil model for inhomogeneous soil, by taking into account the deeper layers of the soil, and determining the model’s parameters using evolutionary methodsMarko Jesenik, Mislav Trbušić, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A new approach using a horizontally layered analytical soil model for inhomogeneous soil is presented. The presented approach also considers deeper soil layers, which is not the case when simply dividing the area of interest into smaller subareas. The finite element method model was used to prepare test data because, in such a case, the soil parameters are known. Six lines simulating Wenner’s method were used, and their results were combined appropriately to determine the soil parameters of nine subareas. To determine the soil parameters in the scope of each subarea, different optimization methods were used and compared to each other. The results were analyzed, and Artificial Bee Colony was selected as the most appropriate method among those tested. Additionally, the convergence of the methods was analyzed, and Memory Assistance is presented, with the aim of shortening the calculation time. In this study, three-, four-, five-, and six-layered soil models were tested, and it is concluded that the three-layered model is most appropriate. A finite element method model based on the soil determination results was constructed to verify the results. The results of the Wenner’s method simulation in the cases of the test data and final model were compared to confirm the accuracy of the presented method Ključne besede: grounding system, soil model, finite element method, differential evolution, artificial bee colony, teaching–learning-based optimization Objavljeno v DKUM: 21.02.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 3

5. Innovative approach for the determination of a DC motor’s and drive’s parameters using evolutionary methods and different measured current and angular speed responsesMarko Jesenik, Miha Ravber, Mislav Trbušić, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The determination is presented of seven parameters of a DC motor’s drive. The determination was based on a comparison between the measured and simulated current and speed responses. For the parameters’ determination, different evolutionary methods were used and compared to each other. The mathematical model presenting the DC drives model was written using two coupled differential equations, which were solved using the Runge–Kutta first-, second-, third- and fourth-order methods. The approach allows determining the parameters of controlled drives in such a way that the controller is taken into account with the measured voltage. Between the tested evolutionary methods, which were Differential Evolution with three strategies, Teaching-Learning Based Optimization and Artificial Bee Colony, the Differential Evolution (DE/rand/1/exp) can be suggested as the most appropriate for the presented problem. Measurements with different sampling times were used, and it was found out that at least some measuring points should be at the speed-up interval. Different lengths of the measured signal were tested, and it is sufficient to use a signal consisting of the drive’s acceleration and a short part of the stationary operation. The analysis showed that the procedure has good repeatability. The biggest deviation of calculated parameters considering 10 repeated measurements was 6% in case of the La calculation. The deviations of all the other parameters’ calculations were less than 2%.

6. Variable-length differential evolution for numerical and discrete association rule miningUroš Mlakar, Iztok Fister, Iztok Fister, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper proposes a variable-length Differential Evolution for Association Rule Mining. The proposed algorithm includes a novel representation of individuals, which can encode both numerical and discrete attributes in their original or absolute complement of the original intervals. The fitness function used is comprised of a weighted sum of Support and Confidence Association Rule Mining metrics. The proposed algorithm was tested on fourteen publicly available, and commonly used datasets from the UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository. It is also compared to the nature inspired algorithms taken from the NiaARM framework, providing superior results. The implementation of the proposed algorithm follows the principles of Green Artificial Intelligence, where a smaller computational load is required for obtaining promising results, and thus lowering the carbon footprint.

9. Optimal robust motion controller design using multi-objective genetic algorithmAndrej Sarjaš, Rajko Svečko, Amor Chowdhury, 2014, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper describes the use of a multi-objective genetic algorithm for robust motion controller design. Motion controller structure is based on a disturbance observer in an RIC framework. The RIC approach is presented in the form with internal and external feedback loops, in which an internal disturbance rejection controller and an external performance controller must be synthesised. This paper involves novel objectives for robustness and performance assessments for such an approach. Objective functions for the robustness property of RIC are based on simple even polynomials with non-negativity conditions. Regional pole placement method is presented with the aims of controllers% structures simplification and their additional arbitrary selection. Regional pole placement involves arbitrary selection of central polynomials for both loops, with additional admissible region of the optimized pole location. Polynomial deviation between selected and optimized polynomials is measured with derived performance objective functions. A multi-objective function is composed of different unrelated criteria such as, robust stability, controllers' stability and time performance indexes of closed loops. The design of controllers and multi-objective optimization procedure involve a set of the objectives, which are optimized simultaneously with a genetic algorithm - Differential evolution.
