In computer vision research, binarization procedure is one of the most frequently used tools to discriminate target objects from background in grey level binary image. Fuzzy binarization is a reliable technique in environment with high uncertainty such as medical image analysis by setting the threshold as the average of minimum and maximum brightness with triangle type fuzzy membership function. However, this technique is also known as contrast sensitive method thus its discrimination power is not so great when the image has low contrast difference between objects and backgrounds and suffer from information loss as a result. Thus, in this paper, we propose a fuzzy binarization using ART2 algorithm to handle such low contrast image analysis. Proposed ART2 algorithm is applied to determine the medium point of membership function in the fuzzy binarization paradigm. The proposed methods shows low information loss rate in our experiment.

Widely used color information recognition methods based on the RGB color model with static fuzzy inference rules have limitations due to the model itself-the detachment of human vision and applicability of limited environment. In this paper, we propose a method that is based on HSI model with new inference process that resembles human vision recognition process. Also, a user can add, delete, update the inference rules in this system. In our method, we design membership intervals with sine, cosine function in H channel and with functions in trigonometric style in S and I channel. The membership degree is computed via interval merging process. Then, the inference rules are applied to the result in order to infer the color information. Our method is proven to be more intuitive and efficient compared with RGB model in experiment.

인간과 인간 사이에 컨텍스트의 역할이 중요한 것처럼 기계가 컨텍스트를 인식할 수 있는 능력을 갖추는 것은 중요하다. 특히 지능적인 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 고수준 컨텍스트를 추출하는 것이 필요하고, 최근 베이지안 네트워크를 이용해 컨텍스트를 추출하려는 연구가 많이 있었다. 그러나 대부분은 단순한 컨텍스트를 추출하는 연구들이고, 상황이나 사용자에 따라 다른 특성을 보이는 경우에 대한 처리는 하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문은 퍼지 소속 함수를 통해 각 센서에서 오는 정보를 전 처리하고, 이를 베이지안 네트워크를 이용해 고수준 컨텍스트로 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 특히 여러 개의 퍼지 노드가 있을 경우 퍼지 소속값의 곱을 사용하여 베이지안 추론에 적용하였다. 각 센서의 정보를 처리하는 퍼지 소속 함수는 사용자가 쉽게 설계할 수 있고, 컨텍스트 추출모듈과 별개로 설계가 가능하기 때문에 베이지안 네트워크의 유연하고 적응적인 특성을 유지하면서 개인화가 가능하다. 제안한 방법의 유용성을 보이기 위해 실제 세계의 문제를 모델링한 베이지안 네트워크의 예를 보이고 이를 분석한다.

This paper presents an approach to detect premature ventricular contractions(PVC) using the neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions(NEWFM), NEWFM classifies normal and PVC beats by the trained weighted fuzzy membership functions using wavelet transformed coefficients extracted from the MIT-BIH PVC database. The eight most important coefficients of d3 and d4 are selected by the non-overlap area distribution measurement method. The selected 8 coefficients are used for 3 data sets showing reliable accuracy rates 99,80%, 99,21%, and 98.78%, respectively, which means the selected input features are less dependent to the data sets. The ECG signal segments and fuzzy membership functions of the 8 coefficients enable input features to interpret explicitly.

In this paper, an auto-tuning method for fuzzy controller's membership functions based on the neural network is presented. The neural network emulator offers the path which reforms the fuzzy controller's membership functions and fuzzy rule, and the reformed fuzzy controller uses for speed control of induction motor. Thus, in the case of motor parameter variation, the proposed method is superior to a conventional method in the respect of operation time and system performance. 32bit micro-processor DSP(TMS320C31) is used to achieve the high speed calculation of the space voltage vector PWM and to build the self-learning fuzzy control algorithm. Through computer simulation and experimental results, it is confirmed that the proposed method can provide more improved control performance than that PI controller and conventional fuzzy controller.

In the existing fuzzy aggregation method, the operators such as t-norm, t conorm, mean operator, Yafer's operator and $\gamma$ operator are used to aggregate the values of membership functions. However, these methods have problems in that they do not reflect the decision situation properlyin the decision process. In order to solve these problems we suggest a situation assessment model(SAM) to reflect the decision situation in the decision proess. In the fuzzy decision environment, we propose a new aggregation method to reflect the decision situation using the result of SAM. We call it the aggregation based on situation assessment (ASA) method. It makes the stepwise aggregation with derection according to the decision situation. Moreover, we compare ASA method with the existing aggregation methods.

This paper presents the fuzzy minutiae-based matching to improve the accuracy of the difference between template and imput fingerprint image. Minutiae-based matching method is the most well-known and widely used method for fingerprint matching. However, fingerprint pressure, dryness of the skin, skin disease, sweat, dirt, grease, and humidity in the air cause the noisy fingerprint images and the distortion is produced by users moving their fingers on the scanner surface. The input image may be rejected from the Fingerprint Recognition System, because the distorted fingerprint image is very different from the original image. Large tolerence boxes and fuzzy discriminant function is required to improve the accuracy.

This paper presents an approach to obtain a reduced neuro-fuzzy model for a plant. The Neuro-Fuzzy Network are compose of the Radial Basis Function Networks with Gausis membership and learned by using temporal back propagation. The dependency in rough set theory is used to eliminate rules. Dependency between the condition membership value of each rule in a model and the output of the plant can allow us to see how much contribution the rule is to identify the plant. While the reduced model maintains the same performance as the original one, the selection algorithm can minimize its complexity and redundancy of the structure.

본 논문에서는 클러스터링과 뉴로-퍼지 모델링을 동시에 실시하는 학습 기법을 제안하였다. 클러스터링을 이용하여 뉴로-퍼지 모델링을 실시하는 일반적인 경우, 클러스터링 학습을 실시한 후 학습된 파라미터를 뉴로-퍼지 모델의 초기 파라미터로 설정하고 모델을 다시 학습하는 방법을 취한다. 즉 클러스터링에서 클러스터의 수를 구하고 파라미터를 최적화함으로써 초기 구조동정과 파라미터 동정을 실시하며 이를 다시 뉴로-퍼지 모델에서 세부적인 파라미터 동정을 실시하는 것이다. 또한 모델에서의 학습은 출력데이터의 오차를 이용한 오차미분기반 학습으로 전제부 소속함수 파라미터를 수정하는 방법을 이용한다. 이 경우 클러스터링의 영향과 모델의 영향이 각각 별개로 고려될 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 클러스터링을 전제부 소속함수로 부여하고 클러스터링의 학습에 뉴로-퍼지 모델을 이용하면서 또한 모델의 학습에 클러스터링을 직접 적용하는 클러스터링 기반 뉴로-퍼지 모델링을 제안하였으며 이 경우 클러스터링의 학습과 모델의 학습이 동시에 이루어지며 뉴로-퍼지 모델에서 클러스터링의 효과를 직접적으로 확인할 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 유용성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 보이고자 한다.

In this paper, I will propose the Niche-Meta Genetic Algorithm that has a multi-mutation operator for design of fuzzy controller. The gene in the proposed algorithm is formed by several parameters that represent the crossover rate, mutation rate and input-output membership functions. The optimization of fuzzy membership function is performed with local search on sub-population and the optimal structure is constructed with global search on total-population. The multi-mutation is selected under basis of the result of local evolution. A simulation for 2 D.O.F wheeled-mobile robot is showed to prove the efficiency of the proposed algorithm
