Fuzzy sets in computer vision: an overview.

Pilar Sobrevilla, Eduard Montseny (2003)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

Every computer vision level crawl with uncertainty, what makes its management a significant problem to be considered and solved when trying for automated systems for scene analysis and interpretation. This is why fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic is making many inroads into the handling of uncertainty in various aspects of image processing and computer vision. The growth within the use of fuzzy set theory in computer vision is keeping pace with the use of more complex algorithms...

Intelligent financial time series forecasting: A complex neuro-fuzzy approach with multi-swarm intelligence

Chunshien Li, Tai-Wei Chiang (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Financial investors often face an urgent need to predict the future. Accurate forecasting may allow investors to be aware of changes in financial markets in the future, so that they can reduce the risk of investment. In this paper, we present an intelligent computing paradigm, called the Complex Neuro-Fuzzy System (CNFS), applied to the problem of financial time series forecasting. The CNFS is an adaptive system, which is designed using Complex Fuzzy Sets (CFSs) whose membership functions...

A neuro-fuzzy system for sequence alignment on two levels.

Tillman Weyde, Klaus Dalinghaus (2004)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

The similarity judgerment of two sequences is often decomposed in similarity judgements of the sequence events with an alignment process. However, in some domains like speech or music, sequences have an internal structure which is important for intelligent processing like similarity judgements. In an alignment task, this structure can be reflected more appropriately by using two levels instead of aligning event by event. This idea is related to the structural alignment framework by Markman...

Fuzzy approach for data association in image tracking.

Julio García, José Manuel Molina, Juan Alberto Besada, Javier I. Portillo (2003)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

A fuzzy system has been developed to ponder update decisions both for the trajectories and shapes estimated for targets. It is embedded in an A-SMGCS Surveillance function for airport surface, based on video data processing, in charge of the automatic detection, identification and tracking of all interesting targets (aircraft and relevant ground vehicles). The tracking system captures a sequence of images, preprocesses them to extract the moving regions (blobs), and associates the blobs...

A neuro-fuzzy system for isolated hand-written digit recognition.

Miguel Pinzolas, José Javier Astrain, Jesús Villadangos, José Ramón González de Mendívil (2001)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

A neuro-fuzzy system for isolated hand-written digit recognition using a similarity fuzzy measure is presented. The system is composed of two main blocks: a first block that normalizes the input and compares it with a set of fuzzy patterns, and a second block with a multilayer perceptron to perform a neuronal classification. The comparison with the fuzzy patterns is performed via a fuzzy similarity measure that uses the Yager parametric t-norms and t-conorms. Along this work, several...

Localization and fuzzy classification of manufacturing defects in sheets of glass.

Luis Junco Navascués, Luciano Sánchez (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

Artificial Vision Systems are commonly used in industrial applications. The low cost of the equipment facilitates the development of new products. In this paper we describe the use of an artificial vision system in one of the phases of a quality control process related to automotive industries: the windshield manufacturing. We intend to localize and classify the defects that were originated while manufacturing the glass that forms the windshield. We will show that a fuzzy classifier,...

Learning under hardware restrictions in CMOS fuzzy controllers able to extract rules from examples.

Fernando Vidal Verdú, Rafael Navas-González, Angel Rodríguez-Vázquez (1996)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

Fuzzy controllers are able to incorporate knowledge expressed in if-then rules. These rules are given by experts or skilful operators. Problems arise when there are no experts or/and rules are not easy to find. Author's proposal consists on an analog fuzzy controller which accepts structured language as well as input/output data pairs, thus rules can be extracted or tuned from human or software controller operation. Learning from data pairs has to be carried out under hardware restrictions...

Neural methods for obtaining fuzzy rules.

José Manuel Benítez, Armando Blanco, Miguel Delgado, Ignacio Requena (1996)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

In previous papers, we presented an empirical methodology based on Neural Networks for obtaining fuzzy rules which allow a system to be described, using a set of examples with the corresponding inputs and outputs. Now that the previous results have been completed, we present another procedure for obtaining fuzzy rules, also based on Neural Networks with Backpropagation, with no need to establish beforehand the labels or values of the variables that govern the system.

New aspects on extraction of fuzzy rules using neural networks.

José Manuel Benítez, Armando Blanco, Miguel Delgado, Ignacio Requena (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

In previous works, we have presented two methodologies to obtain fuzzy rules in order to describe the behaviour of a system. We have used Artificial Neural Netorks (ANN) with the Backpropagation algorithm, and a set of examples of the system. In this work, some modifications which allow to improve the results, by means of an adaptation or refinement of the variable labels in each rule, or the extraction of local rules using distributed ANN, are showed. An interesting application on the...
