In this paper, we propose a modified FCM (MFCM) algorithm to solve the problems of the FCM algorithm and the fuzzy clustering algorithm using an average intracluster distance (FCAID). The MFCM algorithm grants the regular grade of membership in the small size of cluster. And it clears up the convergence problem of objective function because its objective function is designed according to the grade of membership of it, verified, and used for clustering data. So, it can solve the problem of the FCM algorithm in different size of cluster and the FCAID algorithm in the convergence problem of objective function. To verify the MFCM algorithm, we compared with the result of the FCM and the FCAID algorithm in data clustering. From the experimental results, the MFCM algorithm has a good performance compared with others by classification entropy.

In this paper, we apply a set of algorithms to classily normal and cancer nucleus from uterine cervical pap-smear images. First, we use lightening compensation algorithm to restore color images that have defamation through the process of obtaining $1{\times}400$ microscope magnification. Then, we remove the background from images with the histogram distributions of RGB regions. We extract nucleus areas from candidates by applying histogram brightness, Kapur method, and our own 8-direction contour tracing algorithm. Various binarization, cumulative entropy, masking algorithms are used in that process. Then, we are able to recognize normal and cancer nucleus from those areas by using three morphological features - directional information, the size of nucleus, and area ratio - with fuzzy membership functions and deciding rules we devised. The experimental result shows our method has low false recognition rate.

In clinical data minig, choosing the optimal subset of features is such important, not only to reduce the computational complexity but also to improve the usefulness of the model constructed from the given data. Moreover the threshold values (i.e., cut-off points) of selected features are used in a clinical decision criteria of experts for differential diagnosis of diseases. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy discretization approach, which is evaluated by measuring the degree of separation of redundant attribute values in overlapping region, based on spatial distribution of data with continuous attributes. The weighted average of the redundant attribute values is then used to determine the threshold value for each feature and rough set theory is utilized to select a subset of relevant features from the overall features. To verify the validity of the proposed method, we compared experimental results, which applied to classification problem using 668 patients with a chief complaint of dyspnea, based on three discretization methods (i.e., equal-width, equal-frequency, and entropy-based) and proposed discretization method. From the experimental results, we confirm that the discretization methods with fuzzy partition give better results in two evaluation measures, average classification accuracy and G-mean, than those with hard partition.

This paper proposes a new text candidate region detection method that uses genetic algorithm based on information of the segmented regions. In image segmentation, a classification of the pixels at each color channel and a reclassification of the region-unit for reducing inhomogeneous clusters are performed. EWFCM(Entropy-based Weighted C-Means) algorithm to classify the pixels at each color channel is an improved FCM algorithm added with spatial information, and therefore it removes the meaningless regions like noise. A region-based reclassification based on a similarity between each segmented region of the most inhomogeneous cluster and the other clusters reduces the inhomogeneous clusters more efficiently than pixel- and cluster-based reclassifications. And detecting text candidate regions is performed by genetic algorithm based on energy and variance of the directional edge components, the number, and a size of the segmented regions. The region information-based detection method can singles out semantic text candidate regions more accurately than pixel-based detection method and the detection results will be more useful in recognizing the text regions hereafter. Experiments showed the results of the segmentation and the detection. And it confirmed that the proposed method was superior to the existing methods.

Energy is a major component of almost all economic, production, and service activities, and rapid population growth, urbanization and industrialization have led to ever growing demand for energy. Limited energy resources and increasingly evident environmental effects of fossil fuel consumption has led to a growing awareness about the importance of further use of renewable energy sources in the countries energy portfolio. Renewable hydrogen production is a convenient method for storage of unstable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy for use in other place or time. In this study, suitability of 25 cities located in Iran's western region for renewable hydrogen production are evaluated by multi-criteria decision making techniques including TOPSIS, VIKOR, ELECTRE, SAW, Fuzzy TOPSIS, and also hybrid ranking techniques. The choice of suitable location for the centralized renewable hydrogen production is associated with various technical, economic, social, geographic, and political criteria. This paper describes the criteria affecting the hydrogen production potential in the study region. Determined criteria are weighted with Shannon entropy method, and Angstrom model and wind power model are used to estimate respectively the solar and wind energy production potential in each city and each month. Assuming the use of proton exchange membrane electrolyzer for hydrogen production, the renewable hydrogen production potential of each city is then estimated based on the obtained wind and solar energy generation potentials. The rankings obtained with MCDMs show that Kermanshah is the best option for renewable hydrogen production, and evaluation of renewable hydrogen production capacities show that Gilangharb has the highest capacity among the studied cities.

Critical elements in the China's Lunar Exploration reside in that the lunar rover travels over the surrounding undetermined environment and it conducts scientific exploration under the ground control via teleoperation system. Such an interplanetary transportation mission teleoperation system belongs to the ground application system in deep space mission, which performs terrain reconstruction, visual positioning, path planning, and rover motion control by receiving telemetry data. It plays a vital role in the whole lunar exploration operation and its so-called trustworthy evidence must be assessed before and during its implementation. Taking ISO standards and China's national military standards as trustworthy evidence source, the net assessment model and net assessment method of teleoperation system are established in this paper. The multi-dimensional net assessment model covering the life cycle of software is defined by extracting the trustworthy evidences from trustworthy evidence source. The qualitative decisions are converted to quantitative weights through the net assessment method (NAM) combined with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and entropy weight method (EWM) to determine the weight of the evidence elements in the net assessment model. The paper employs the teleoperation system for interplanetary transportation as a case study. The experimental result drawn shows the validity and rationality of net assessment model and method. In the final part of this paper, the untrustworthy elements of the teleoperation system are discovered and an improvement scheme is established upon the "net result". The work completed in this paper has been applied in the development of the teleoperation system of China's Chang'e-3 (CE-3) "Jade Rabbit-1" and Chang'e-4 (CE-4) "Jade Rabbit-2" rover successfully. Besides, it will be implemented in China's Chang'e-5 (CE-5) mission in 2019. What's more, it will be promoted in the Mars exploration mission in 2020. Therefore it is valuable to the development process improvement of aerospace information system.

기상레이더는 강우량을 바로 추정하지 못하는 특성으로 인해 정량적 강우산출 과정 중에 다양한 원인으로 인해 불확실성 발생 요소가 존재하나 이를 정량화하고 저감하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 원인을 살펴보면, 첫째, 기상레이더의 관측에서부터 정량적 강우량 추정까지 일련의 과정에 대한 포괄적으로 불확실성 정량화와 분석이 이루어지지 못하며, 둘째, 전체 불확실성이 어느 정도 되는지 제시하지 못하므로 각 단계별 불확실성이 전체 불확실성 대비 어느 정도 비율이 되는지 제시하지 못한다. 마지막으로 기존 연구들은 불확실성을 줄이고자 여러 방법을 사용하고 있으나 어느 정도 효용성이 있는지 불확실성 측면에서 제시하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Maximum Entropy(ME)와 Uncertainty Delta Method(UMD)를 이용한 접근방법을 제안하여 기상레이더를 활용하여 정량적 강우량을 추정하는 일련의 과정에서 단계별로 불확실성이 어떻게 전파되는지 추정하였다. 본 연구에서는 한반도 전역을 대상으로 2012년 여름철(6~8월)에 발생한 18개 강우사례를 이용하여 품질관리(Open Radar Product Generator 품질관리 알고리즘, fuzzy 알고리즘), 강우추정(Window Probability Matching Method, Marshall-Palmer 관계식), 후처리보정(Local Gauge Correction 기법, Gauge to Radar ratio 기법)단계만을 수행하였으며, 이 결과를 바탕으로 기상레이더 정량적 강우추정 단계별 불확실성을 정량화하였다. 정량화결과, 최종적으로 관측단계의 불확실성보다 최종 불확실성이 줄어들었으나, 강우추정 단계에서 불확실성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 어떤 강우추정식을 적용하느냐에 따라 레이더 강우추정결과가 매우 달라질 수 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 불확실성 정량화 방법을 통하여 첫째, 전체 및 단계별 불확실성을 정량화할 수 있고, 둘째, 최종 불확실성 대비 각 단계별 불확실성을 비율을 제시할 수 있으며, 마지막으로 수행단계별로 불확실성 전파과정을 파악할 수 있다. 이는 향후 정량적 레이더 강우추정 과정에 있어서 불확실성을 발생시키는 주요 원인파악과 이에 대한 집중적인 투자를 가능하게 한다. 이러한 과정을 통하여 보다 정확한 정량적 레이더 강우추정이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
