In this paper, an automatic histogram specification method is proposed for image enhancement, Fuzzy membership value is adopted for the representation of image histogram. The desired PDF is automatically constructed by the fuzzy membership value. Fuzzy membership value is extracted from dark membership, bright membership function and original histogram. The effectual results are demonstrated by desired PDF which meet the image enhancement requirements. The performance and effectiveness are shown by the analysis and the resultant image in comparison with histogram equalization method.

There are several kinds of fuzzy set extensions in the fuzzy set theory. Among them, this paper is concerned with interval-valued fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, and bipolar-valued fuzzy sets. In interval-valued fuzzy sets, membership degrees are represented by an interval value that reflects the uncertainty in assigning membership degrees. In intuitionistic fuzzy sets, membership degrees are described with a pair of a membership degree and a nonmembership degree. In bipolar-valued fuzzy sets, membership degrees are specified by the satisfaction degrees to a constraint and its counter-constraint. This paper investigates the similarities and differences among these fuzzy set representations.

Fuzzy membership functions are some kinds of mapping function for the fuzzification and the defuzzification. Triangle-shaped fuzzy membership functions are widely used in fuzzy controller, for it is easy to implement. In these membership functions, it is known that narrower fuzzy sets permit finer control near the operating point than that far from the operating point. $Supp{\acute{o}}se$ we have a membership function with narrower triangle near zero and wider triangle far from zero. The membership function will make fine control when small input is given and rough control at large input. Therefore the performance of the controller with that membership function will be enhanced. This paper presents how the width of triangle base in the fuzzy membership function has influence on the output using geometrical approaches.

Fuzzy neural networks have been successfully applied to analyze/generate predictive rules for medical or diagnostic data. However, most approaches proposed so far have not considered the weights for the membership functions much. This paper presents a neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions. In our approach, the membership functions can capture the concentrated and essential information that affects the classification of the input patterns. To verify the performance of the proposed model, well-known Iris data set is performed. According to the results, the weighted membership functions enhance the prediction accuracy. The architecture of the proposed neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions and the details of experimental results for the data set is discussed in this paper.

Image enhancement is an emerging method for analyzing the images clearer for interpretation and analysis in the spatial domain. The goal of image enhancement is to serve an input image so that the resultant image is more suited to the particular application. In this paper, a novel method is proposed based on Mamdani fuzzy inference system (FIS) using multiple fuzzy membership functions. It is observed that the shape of membership function while converting the input image into the fuzzy domain is the essential important selection. Then, a set of fuzzy If-Then rule base in fuzzy domain gives the best result in image contrast enhancement. Based on a different combination of membership function shapes, a best predictive solution can be determined which can be suitable for different types of the input image as per application requirements. Our result analysis shows that the quality attributes such as PSNR, Index of Fuzziness (IOF) parameters give different performances with a selection of numbers and different sized membership function in the fuzzy domain. To get more insight, an optimization algorithm is proposed to identify the best combination of the fuzzy membership function for best image contrast enhancement.

We prepose fuzzy statistical test of fuzzy hypotheses membership function with fuzzy number data. Finding the maximum grade of the meeting point for fuzzy hypotheses membership function and membership function of confidence interval. By the maximum grade, we obtain the results to acceptance or reject for the test of fuzzy hypotheses.

The aim of this study is to compare the classification results for choosing the fuzzy membership function within fuzzy rules. There are various methods of extracting rules from training data in the process of fuzzy rules generation. Pattern distribution characteristics are considered to produce fuzzy rules. The accuracy of classification results are depended on not only considering the characteristics of fuzzy subspaces but also choosing the fuzzy membership functions. This paper shows how to produce various type of fuzzy rules from the partitioning the pattern spaces and results of land cover classification in satellite remote sensing images by adopting various fuzzy membership functions. The experiments of this study is applied to Landsat TM image and the results of classification are compared by fuzzy membership functions.
