Particle Swarm Optimization

Just wondering, if you have ever looked into the subject matter? (I've always been interested in different optimization algorithms and their uses)

Recent developments: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/ ... 020108.php

Edit: As there was not a "general discussion" forum separately, I chose this one instead. I realize this might or might not be a feasible method for improving neatvideo at all, but posted it nevertheless as an interesting topic.

Yes, it could be an interesting topic and it would be interesting to see some examples of the applications of those techniques. Perhaps the optimization objectives they use could be also useful in the noise reduction tasks.

I agree.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any samples of actual results so far, which implies they're not "quite there yet".

Interesting tidbit is that PSO can potentionally replace some genetic algorithms, which generally are quite computationally intensive (and I've seen some quite good results for deinterlacing/interpolation from that department).
