삼각 멤버쉽함수는 적용의 간편성으로 인하여 가장 절리 쓰이는 멤버쉽함수이다. 그러므로, 각 삼각형의 밑변의 길이가 퍼지 추론의 결과에 영향을 주는 이유에 대한 해석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 일정 비의 규칙성을 갖는 삼각 멤버쉽함수가 결과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지에 대하여 기하하적인 접근 방법으로 해석해 보았다.

This paper presents a dehazing method based on a fuzzy membership function and variational method. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps: i) estimate transmission through a pixel-based operation using a fuzzy membership function, ii) refine the transmission using an L1-norm-based regularization method, and iii) obtain the result of haze removal based on a hazy image formation model using the refined transmission. In order to prevent color distortion of the sky region seen in conventional methods, we use a trapezoid-type fuzzy membership function. The proposed method acquires high-quality images without halo artifacts and loss of color contrast.

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.

Recently, Xue et al. [Computers and Mathematics with Applications 55 (2008) 1215-1224] proposed a formula for the expected value of a function of a fuzzy variable based on the assumption that the fuzzy variable has a continuous membership function. In conclusion, they remained the case where the membership function of the fuzzy variable is discontinuous for the future research, and then expected to get similar results. Thus this note is to propose a new formula for the expected value of a function of a general fuzzy variable which is not restricted on having a continuous membership function. Furthermore, we give an example which cannot be applied to the formula that Xue et al. proposed. We also use the same example given by Xue et al. to show how to apply the new formula.

Active power filters (APF) can be employed for harmonic compensation in power systems. In this paper, a fuzzy based method is proposed for identification of probable APF nodes of a radial distribution system. The modified adaptive particle swarm optimization (MAPSO) technique is used for final selection of the APFs size. A combination of Fuzzy-MAPSO method is implemented to determine the optimal allocation and size of APFs. New fuzzy membership functions are formulated where the harmonic current membership is an exponential function of the nodal injecting harmonic current. Harmonic voltage membership has been formulated as a function of the node harmonic voltage. The product operator shows better performance than the AND operator because all harmonics are considered in computing membership function. For evaluating the proposed method, it has been applied to the 5-bus and 18-bus test systems, respectively, which the results appear satisfactorily. The proposed membership functions are new at the APF placement problem so that weighting factors can be changed proportional to objective function.

To improve system performance, we apply the concept of membership function to Variance Considered Machines (VCMs) which is a modified algorithm of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) proposed in our previous studies. Many classification algorithms separate nonlinear data well. However, existing algorithms have ignored the fact that probabilities of error are very high in the data-mixed area. Therefore, we make our algorithm ignore data which has high error probabilities and consider data importantly which has low error probabilities to generate system output according to the probabilities of error. To get membership function, we calculate sigmoid function from the dataset by considering means and variances. After computation, this membership function is applied to the VCMs.

본 논문에서는 저장 데이타베이스의 정보 시스템을 정제하여 이해 가능한 정보로 전환하고 새로운 객체를 근사 추론할 수 있도록 하기 위해 러프 소속 함수 값의 개념을 도입한 계층적 근사 분류 알 고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 근사 추론의 한 방법인 퍼지 추론 방법의 언어적 불확실성을 속 성의 퍼지 소속 함수 값으로 나타내고 조건 속성의 소속 함수 값의 합성에 의해 근사 추론하는 방법을 이용하였으며 퍼지 소속 함수 값 대신에 러프 소속 함수 값을 이용하도록 제안하였다. 이는 퍼지 소속 함 수 값을 이용하여 괴지 규칙을 생성하는 과정을 생략할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 정보 시스템 내의 속 성 중에서 수치 속성에 대한 이산화 방법을 연구하고 이것 또한 러프 소속 함수 값과 정보이론의 무질서 도의 개념을 이용한 수치 속성의 이산화를 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 이용하여 패턴 분류 문제에 교 준적으로 사용되는 IRIS 데이타에 대한 실험결과96%~98% 분류율을 나타냈으며 다른 실험 데이타에서 도 기존 알고리즘과 비교하여 수치 이산화나 근사 추론 모두 우수함을 보였다.

The performance of speaker identifier is severely degraded in noisy environments. A study suggested the concept of observation membership for enhancing performances of speaker identifier with noisy speech [1]. The method scaled observation probabilities of input speech by observation identification values decided by SNR. In the paper [1], the authors suggested heuristic parameter values for membership function. In this paper we attempt to apply particle swarm optimization (PSO) for obtaining the optimal parameters for speaker identification in noisy environments. With the speaker identification experiments using the ETRI database we prove that the optimization approach can yield better performance than using only the original membership function.

Fuzzy theory provides an intelligence treatment model for judgement about information when it needs a solution or a decision making about vague problems. Therefore, fuzzy theory is used for appropriate evaluation and decision on obscure information as human's emotion in human factors, In previous study, fuzzy membership function is defined for judgement infOlmation as human's emotion then ultimate results are deducted through fuzzy inference model. This method uses general CWTent through literature review or max, min and average as representative statics value about considering variables. But, this method makes away with nonlinear's or inegular's factors of human sensibility. Accordingly, application of this method leads to considerable loss of information in the ultimate evaluation. For that reason, this method has a limitation in objective evaluation of human factors. So, this study focuses on development of fuzzy membership function, which evaluates human's emotion or feeling accurately and objectively. We used the regression analysis and reasoned a fuzzy membership function about the relation of the variables. Then we verified the adequacy with the reliability through the experiment after this.

To solve the frequency variation of speech patterns which consist of LPC sequences, a new membership function made by the relation between order of LPC and spectrum is proposed in this paper. To reduce errors, fuzzy inference is executed using the proposed membership function. The computer simulation shows the effectiveness of the word recognition.
