This paper presents an image contrast enhancement technique for improving the low contrast images using the improved IAFC(Integrated Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering) model. The low pictorial information of a low contrast image is due to the vagueness or fuzziness of the multivalued levels of brightness rather than randomness. Fuzzy image processing has three main stages, namely, image fuzzification, modification of membership values, and image defuzzification. Using a new model of automatic crossover point selection, optimal crossover point is selected automatically. The problem of crossover point selection can be considered as the two-category classification problem. The improved IAFC model is used to classify the image into two classes. The proposed method is applied to several experimental images with 256 gray levels and the results are compared with those of the histogram equalization technique. We utilized the index of fuzziness as a measure of image quality. The results show that the proposed method is better than the histogram equalization technique.

In P2P distribution mobile networks, QoS of streaming media services are under heavy influence from overheads such as congestion, latency, and interference. The problem is further complicated by the fact that the popularity of media objects changes over time. This paper proposes a new FSMS+ (Fuzzy Similarity-based Multi-level Streaming Scheme) which minimizes performance degradation of streaming services due to overhead. We then utilize fuzzy similarity-based relevance that can dynamically stream the streaming media object with minimum overhead. The simulation result showed that the proposed scheme has better performance in retransmission rate, congestion control rate and latency rate than the other existing methods of distance method, DC (disk caching) method, and prefix method.

In fuzzy logic control, static fuzzy rules cannot cope with significant changes of parameters of plants or environment. To solve this prohlem, self-organizing fuzzy control. neural-network-hased fuzzy logic control and so on have heen introduced so far. However, dynamically changed fuzzy rules of these schemes may make a fuzzy logic controller Fall into dangerous situations because the changed fuzzy rules may he incomplete or inconsistent. This paper proposes a new adaptive filzzy logic control scheme using a predictivc neural network. Although some parameters of a controlled plant or environment are changed, proposed fuzzy logic controller changes its decision outputs adaptively and robustly using unchanged initial fuzzy rules and the predictive errors generated hy the predictive neural network by on-line learning. Experimental results with a D<' servo-motor position control problem show that propnsed cnntrol scheme is very useful in the viewpoint of adaptability.

This study applies fuzzy functions to improve image quality under the assumption that uncertainty of image information due to low contrast is based on vagueness and ambiguity of the brightness pixel values. To solve the problem of low contrast images whose brightness distribution is inclined, we use the k-means algorithm as a parameter of the fuzzy function, through which automatic critical points can be found to differentiate objects from background and contrast between bright and dark points can be improved. The fuzzy function is presented at the three main stages presented to improve image quality: fuzzification, contrast enhancement and defuzzification. To measure improved image quality, we present the fuzzy index and entropy index and in comparison with those of histogram equalization technique, it shows outstanding performance.

Difficulties of the level control in the steam generator are increased due to their nonlinear characteristics. Futhermore, parameter uncertainties of the steam generator is related with control performance and stability. The efficiency of digital conversion in control systems is proved in many recent researches. In order to solve this problem, this paper suggests robust digital fuzzy controller design methodologies of the steam generator which have unstable parameters. Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is used to construct a fuzzy model which has uncertainties in the steam generator. In designing procedure, intelligent digital redesign method is used to control the nonlinear system. This digital controller keeps the performance of the analog controller. Simulation examples are included for ensuring the proposed control method.

In this paper, the conventional k-modes and fuzzy k-modes algorithms for clustering categorical data is extended by representing the clusters of categorical data with fuzzy centroids instead of the hard-type centroids used in the original algorithm. The hard-type centroids of the traditional algorithms had difficulties in dealing with ambiguous boundary data, which might be misclassified and lead to thelocal optima. Use of fuzzy centroids makes it possible to fully exploit the power of fuzzy sets in representing the uncertainty in the classification of categorical data. The distance measure between data and fuzzy centroids is more precise and effective than those of the k-modes and fuzzy k-modes. To test the proposed approach, the proposed algorithm and two conventional algorithms were used to cluster three categorical data sets. The proposed method was found to give markedly better clustering results.

Considering the characteristics of a data stream whose data elements are continuously generated and may change over time, there have been many techniques to differentiate the importance of data elements in a data stream by their generation time. The conventional techniques are efficient to get an analysis result focusing on the recent information in a data stream, but they have a limitation to differentiate the importance of information in various ways more flexible. An information differentiation technique based on the term of a fuzzy set can be an alternative way to compensate the limitation. A term of a fuzzy set has been widely used in various data mining fields, which can overcome the sharp boundary problem and give an analysis result reflecting the requirements in real world applications more. In this paper, a fuzzy window mechanism is proposed, which is adapting a term of a fuzzy set and is efficiently used to differentiate the importance of information in mining data streams. Basic concepts including fuzzy calendars are described first, and subsequently details on data stream mining of weighted patterns using a fuzzy window technique are described.

With the increasing of impervious area and shortening of travel time, the risk of flooding in urban area becomes a serious problem in Seoul metropolitan area, and its alternatives are needed. In this study, one of urban flood alternatives, a fuzzy control technique is applied in pumping station to test its drainage capacity of inland inflow, and compared with existing pumping criteria (controled by water level). Three design rainfalls(10, 30, and 50 year) are applied to ILLUDAS model to calculate inflow in detention reservoir. To check the efficiency of fuzzy control, two fuzzy rules are used in the operation of pumping station. In these results, fuzzy control rules, based on the experiences of experts, show applicability in practice and effectiveness in inland flooding prevention.
