The development of rapid and effective inversion algorithm is an important subject in the field of particle size distribution (PSD) measurement. An intelligent bat algorithm has been proposed to solve the problem of independent mode inversion in particle size distribution reconstruction based on spectral extinction method. The improved algorithm is more suitable for particle size distribution inversion under extinction method by enriching its behavior mode, improving local search mode and adding greedy strategy. In simulations, uniform spherical particles that obey the unimodal, bimodal and multimodal R-R distribution were used, and the scattering intensity values of the target function was added to the random noise of ±0%, ±3%, ±5%, ±8% respectively. In the inversion calculation of the improved bat algorithm, 400, 800 and 1000 iterations were performed for different distributions, respectively. Compared with modified pattern search method, the improved bat algorithm has strong noise resistance, moderate inversion time, independent of initial solution and high inversion accuracy for complex distribution. Compared with genetic algorithm, the improved bat algorithm has fast convergence speed, high accuracy and short time-consuming. Considering the practical application, the algorithm is suitable for field measurement and has a wide application prospect.
