The fingerprint image quality relies on the clearness of separated ridges by valleys and the uniformity of the separation. The condition of skin still dominate the overall quality of the fingerprint. However, the identification performance of such system is very sensitive to the quality of the captured fingerprint image. Fingerprint image quality analysis and enhancement are useful in improving the performance of fingerprint identification systems. A fuzzy technique is introduced in this paper for both fingerprint image quality analysis and enhancement. First, the quality analysis is performed by extracting four features from a fingerprint image which are the local clarity score (LCS), global clarity score (GCS), ridge_valley thickness ratio (RVTR), and the Global Contrast Factor (GCF). A fuzzy logic technique that uses Mamdani fuzzy rule model is designed. The fuzzy inference system is able to analyse and determinate the fingerprint image type (oily, dry or neutral) based on the extracted feature values and the fuzzy inference rules. The percentages of the test fuzzy inference system for each type is as follow: For dry fingerprint the percentage is 81.33, for oily the percentage is 54.75, and for neutral the percentage is 68.48. Secondly, a fuzzy morphology is applied to enhance the dry and oily fingerprint images. The fuzzy morphology method improves the quality of a fingerprint image, thus improving the performance of the fingerprint identification system significantly. All experimental work which was done for both quality analysis and image enhancement was done using the DB_ITS_2009 database which is a private database collected by the department of electrical engineering, institute of technology Sepuluh Nopember Surabaya, Indonesia. The performance evaluation was done using the Feature Similarity index (FSIM). Where the FSIM is an image quality assessment (IQA) metric, which uses computational models to measure the image quality consistently with subjective evaluations. The new proposed system outperformed the classical system by 900% for the dry fingerprint images and 14% for the oily fingerprint images.

In this paper, a definition of interval-valued fuzzy regular language (IVFRL) is proposed and their related properties studied. A model of finite automaton (DFA and NDFA) with interval-valued fuzzy transitions is proposed. Acceptance of interval-valued fuzzy regular language by the finite automaton (DFA and NDFA) with interval-valued fuzzy transitions are examined. Moreover, a definition of finite automaton (DFA and NDFA) with interval-valued fuzzy (final) states is proposed. Acceptance of interval-valued fuzzy regular language by the finite automaton (DFA and NDFA) with interval-valued fuzzy (final) states are also discussed. It is observed that, the model finite automaton (DFA and NDFA) with interval-valued fuzzy (final) states is more suitable than the model finite automaton (DFA and NDFA) with interval-valued fuzzy transitions for recognizing the interval-valued fuzzy regular language. In the end, interval-valued fuzzy regular expressions are defined. We can use the proposed interval-valued fuzzy regular expressions in lexical analysis.

In the last decade, the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a new technology has been applied with traditional Computer-aided design implementations in an increasing number of architecture, engineering, and construction projects and applications. Its employment alongside construction management, can be a valuable tool in helping move these activities and projects forward in a more efficient and time-effective manner. The traditional stakeholders, i.e., Owner, A/E and the Contractor are involved in this BIM system that is used in almost every activity of construction projects, such as design, cost estimate and scheduling. This article extracts major features of the application of BIM from perspective of participating BIM components, along with the different phrases, and applies to them a logistic analysis using a fuzzy performance tree, quantifying these phrases to judge the effectiveness of the BIM techniques employed. That is to say, these fuzzy performance trees with fuzzy logic concepts can properly translate the linguistic rating into numeric expressions, and are thus employed in evaluating the influence of BIM applications as a mathematical process. The rotational fuzzy models are used to represent the membership functions of the performance values and their corresponding weights. Illustrations of the use of this fuzzy BIM performance tree are presented in the study for the uninitiated users. The results of these processes are an evaluation of BIM project performance as highly positive. The quantification of the performance ratings for the individual factors is a significant contributor to this assessment, capable of parsing vernacular language into numerical data for a more accurate and precise use in performance analysis. It is hoped that fuzzy performance trees and fuzzy set analysis can be used as a tool for the quality and risk analysis for other construction techniques in the future. Baldwin's rotational models are used to represent the membership functions of the fuzzy sets. Three scenarios are presented using fuzzy MEAN, AND and OR gates from the lowest to intermediate levels of the tree, and fuzzy SUM gate to relate the intermediate level to the top component of the tree, i.e., BIM application final performance. The use of fuzzy MEAN for lower levels and fuzzy SUM gates to reach the top level suggests the most realistic and accurate results. The methodology (fuzzy performance tree) described in this paper is appropriate to implement in today's construction industry when limited objective data is presented and it is heavily relied on experts' subjective judgment.

Hybrid fuzzy regression analysis is used for integrating randomness and fuzziness into a regression model. Least squares support vector machine(LS-SVM) has been very successful in pattern recognition and function estimation problems for crisp data. This paper proposes a new method to evaluate hybrid fuzzy linear and nonlinear regression models with crisp inputs and fuzzy output using weighted fuzzy arithmetic(WFA) and LS-SVM. LS-SVM allows us to perform fuzzy nonlinear regression analysis by constructing a fuzzy linear regression function in a high dimensional feature space. The proposed method is not computationally expensive since its solution is obtained from a simple linear equation system. In particular, this method is a very attractive approach to modeling nonlinear data, and is nonparametric method in the sense that we do not have to assume the underlying model function for fuzzy nonlinear regression model with crisp inputs and fuzzy output. Experimental results are then presented which indicate the performance of this method.

산사태 위험도 분석에서 범용적으로 활용되고 있는 통계적 취약성 분석 기법은 과거에 발생한 산사태의 위치 정보와 산사태 영향 인자들 사이의 상관관계를 통계적으로 분석하여 산사태 발생 가능성이 있는 지역을 예측하는 기법이다. 이러한 취약성 분석 기법에는 다양한 불확실성이 개입되는데 이러한 불확실성을 고려하기 위한 방법의 하나로 퍼지 기법이 활용되고 있다. 퍼지 기법은 퍼지 집합 이론이라는 수학적인 개념을 통해 불확실성을 표현하는 방법으로 특정 인자가 나타날 수 있는 정도를 소속 함수로 표현한다. 퍼지 기법은 영향 인자들의 소속 함수를 결정하는 방법과 각 영향 인자들의 소속 함수를 결합하는 연산 과정에 다양한 접근 방식이 존재하며, 기존의 연구들은 다양한 접근 방식을 활용하여 분석을 수행하여 왔다. 그러나 이렇게 다양한 접근 방식이 어떠한 결과의 차이를 초래하는지를 비교하는 연구는 수행된 사례가 적은 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 진부 지역을 대상으로 빈도비를 활용하여 소속 함수를 산정하는 기법과 코사인 진폭법을 활용하여 소속 함수를 산정하는 기법을 비교하여 보았다. 또한 다양한 퍼지 연산 기법을 활용하여 산사태 취약성을 산정하고 이들 결과를 비교해 보았으며 ROC 그래프 기법을 활용하여 결과의 정확도를 산정하고 분석 기법의 적절성을 분석하였다.

In this paper, we show the improved fuzzy c-means clustering method. To improve, we use the double clustering as principal component analysis from objects which is located on common region of more than two clusters. In addition we use the degree of membership (probability) of fuzzy c-means which is the advantage. From simulation result, we find some improvement of accuracy in data of the probability 0.7 exterior and interior of overlapped area.

Regression analysis is an analyzing method of regression model to explain the statistical relationship between explanatory variable and response variables. This paper propose a fuzzy regression analysis applying Theils method which is not sensitive to outliers. This method use medians of rate of increment based on randomly chosen pairs of each components of ${\alpha}$-level sets of fuzzy data in order to estimate the coefficients of fuzzy regression model. An example and two simulation results are given to show fuzzy Theils estimator is more robust than the fuzzy least squares estimator.
