In this paper, we proposed the recognition method that automatically extracts cracks from a surface image acquired by a digital camera and recognizes the directions (horizontal, vertical, -45 degree, and 45 degree) of cracks using the fuzzy single layer perceptron. We compensate an effect of light on a concrete surface image by applying the closing operation, which is one of the morphological techniques, extract the edges of cracks by Sobel masking, and binarize the image by applying the iterated binarization technique. Two times of noise reduction are applied to the binary image for effective noise elimination. After the specific regions of cracks are automatically extracted from the preprocessed image by applying Glassfire labeling algorithm to the extracted crack image, the cracks of the specific region are enlarged or reduced to $30{\times}30$ pixels and then used as input patterns to the fuzzy single layer perceptron. The experiments using concrete crack images showed that the cracks in the concrete crack images were effectively extracted and the fuzzy single layer perceptron was effective in the recognition of the extracted cracks directions.

This Paper presents an interval type-2 fuzzy perceptron algorithm that is an extension of the type-1 fuzzy perceptron algorithm proposed in [1]. In our proposed method, the membership values for each Pattern vector are extended as interval type-2 fuzzy memberships by assigning uncertainty to the type-1 memberships. By doing so, the decision boundary obtained by interval type-2 fuzzy memberships can converge to a more desirable location than the boundary obtained by crisp and type-1 fuzzy perceptron methods. Experimental results are given to show the effectiveness of our method

Recently, there are a lot of endeavor to implement a fuzzy theory to artificial neural network. Goh proposed the fuzzy single layer perceptron algorithm and advanced fuzzy perceptron based on the generalized delta rule to solve the XOR Problem and the classical Problem. However, it causes an increased amount of computation and some difficulties in application of the complicated image recognition. In this paper, we propose an enhanced fuzzy single layer Perceptron using the dynamic adjustment of threshold. This method is applied to the XOR problem, which used as the benchmark in the field of pattern recognition. The method is also applied to the recognition of digital image for image application. In a result of experiment, it does not always guarantee the convergence. However, the network show improved the learning time and has the high convergence rate.

The perceptron algorithm, which is one of a class of gradient descent techniques, has been widely used in pattern recognition to determine linear decision boundaries. However, it may not give desirable results when pattern sets are nonlinerly separable. A fuzzy version was developed to male up for the weaknesses in the crisp perceptron algorithm. This was achieved by assigning memberships to the pattern sets. However, still another drawback exists in that the pattern memberships do not consider class typicality of the patterns. Therefore, we propose a possibilistic approach to the crisp perceptron algorithm. This algorithm combines the linearly separable property of the crisp version and the convergence property of the fuzzy version. Several examples are given to show the validity of the method.

Even if the linearly separable patterns can be classified by the conventional single layer perceptron, the non-linear problems such as XOR can not be classified by it. A fuzzy single layer perceptron can solve the conventional XOR problems by applying fuzzy membership functions. However, in the fuzzy single layer perception, there are a couple disadvantages which are a decision boundary is sometimes vibrating and a convergence may be extremely lowered according to the scopes of the initial values and learning rates. In this paper, for these reasons, we proposed an enhanced fuzzy single layer perceptron algorithm that can prevent from vibration the decision boundary by introducing a bias term and can also reduce the learn time by applying the modified delta rule which include the learning rates and the momentum concept and applying the new linear activation function. Consequently, the simulation results of the XOR and pattern classification problems presented that the proposed method provided the shorter learning time and better convergence than the conventional fuzzy single layer perceptron.

In this paper, a new fuzzy single layer learning algorithm is proposed, which shows improved learning time and convergence property than that of the conventional fuzzy single layer perceptron algorithms. First, we investigate the structure of physiological neurons of the nervous system and propose new neuron structures based on fuzzy logic. And by using the proposed fuzzy neuron structures, the model and learning algorithm of Physiological Fuzzy Single Layer Perceptron(P-FSLP) are proposed. For the evaluation of performance of the P-FSLP algorithm, we applied the conventional fuzzy single layer perceptron algorithms and the P-FSLP algorithm to three experiments including Exclusive OR problem, the 3-bit parity bit problem and the recognition of car licence plates, which is an application of image recognition, and evaluated the performance of the algorithms. The experimentation results showed that the proposed P-FSLP algorithm reduces the possibility of local minima more than the conventional fuzzy single layer perceptrons do, and enhances the time and convergence for learning. Furthermore, we found that the P-FSLP algorithm has the great capability for image recognition applications.

A Fuzzy Hybrid-Multilayer Perceptron (FH-MLP) Structure is proposed in this paper. proposed FH-MLP is not a fixed architecture. that is to say. the number of layers and the number of nodes in each layer of FH-MLP can be generated to adapt to the changing environment. FH-MLP consists of two parts. one is fuzzy nodes which each node is operated as a small fuzzy system with fuzzy implication rules. and its fuzzy system operates with Gaussian or Triangular membership functions in premise part and constants or regression polynomial equation in consequence part. the other is polynomial nodes which several types of high-order polynomial such as linear. quadratic. and cubic form are used and is connected as various kinds of multi-variable inputs. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. time series data for gas furnace process has been applied.

패턴 인식에서 선형 분류 가능한 경계면을 찾아 패턴을 분류하는 방법 중 가장 기본적인 방법은 퍼셉트론이라고 볼 수 있다. 하지만 선형 분류 불가능한 패턴에 대해서는 유용한 결과를 보여주지 못하였다. 먼저 제안된 퍼지 퍼셉트론은 베타영역 설정에 의해 수렴하지 못하는 특성을 보완하였다. 그러나 패턴의 순수한 전형성을 고려해 주지 못하는 단점이 있다. 이에 Crisp의 선형분류 특성과 퍼지의. 수렴특성을 합성하고자 Possibilistic 퍼셉트론을 제시한다.

We propose a new category of hybrid multi-layer neural networks with hetero nodes such as Fuzzy Set based Polynomial Neurons (FSPNs) and Polynomial Neurons (PNs). These networks are based on a genetically optimized multi-layer perceptron. We develop a comprehensive design methodology involving mechanisms of genetic optimization and genetic algorithms, in particular. The augmented genetically optimized HFPNN (namely gHFPNN) results in a structurally optimized structure and comes with a higher level of flexibility in comparison to the one we encounter in the conventional HFPNN. The GA-based design procedure being applied at each layer of HFPNN leads to the selection of preferred nodes (FPNs or PNs) available within the HFPNN. In the sequel, two general optimization mechanisms are explored. First, the structural optimization is realized via GAs whereas the ensuing detailed parametric optimization is carried out in the setting of a standard least square method-based learning. The performance of the gHFPNNs quantified through experimentation where we use a number of modeling benchmarks-synthetic and experimental data already experimented with in fuzzy or neurofuzzy modeling.
