Abstract

The phase diversity (PD) technique needs optimization algorithms to minimize the error metric and find the global minimum. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is very suitable for PD due to its simple structure, fast convergence, and global searching ability. However, the traditional PSO algorithm for PD still suffers from the stagnation problem (premature convergence), which can result in a wrong solution. In this paper, the stagnation problem of the traditional PSO algorithm for PD is illustrated first. Then, an explicit strategy is proposed to solve this problem, based on an in-depth understanding of the inherent optimization mechanism of the PSO algorithm. Specifically, a criterion is proposed to detect premature convergence; then a redistributing mechanism is proposed to prevent premature convergence. To improve the efficiency of this redistributing mechanism, randomized Halton sequences are further introduced to ensure the uniform distribution and randomness of the redistributed particles in the search space. Simulation results show that this strategy can effectively solve the stagnation problem of the PSO algorithm for PD, especially for large-scale and high-dimension wavefront sensing and noisy conditions. This work is further verified by an experiment. This work can improve the robustness and performance of PD wavefront sensing.
