The functional paradigm for fuzzy multisenosr-multitarget data fusion consists of fuzzification, fuzzy knowledge-base, fuzzy inference mechanism, and defuzzification. In fuzzy system design, users start with some fuzzy rules, which are chosen heuristically based on their experience, and membership functions, which in many cases are chosen subjectively based on understanding the problem, and they use the developed system to tune these rules and membership functions. Constructing membership function is the most important step in the fuzzy system design. This paper addresses the problem of constructing the optimal membership functions from input data in a multisenosr-multitarget environment. This analysis has been applied to clustering of multisensor information in a two-dimensional multisenosr-multitarget data fusion system. Clustering performance using optimal membership functions is compared to that of clustering using non-optimal membership functions. The results show that there is a significant performance improvement when using optimal membership functions.","PeriodicalId":117895,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115072925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If parts of the suspension system fail, it becomes an uncertain system. Thus we need an approximator to remodel this uncertain system to maintain good control. In this paper, we propose a new method to on-line identify the uncertain suspension system and design a T-S fuzzy-neural controller to control it. We first use the mean value theorem to transform the active suspension system into a virtual linearized system. In addition, an on-line adaptive T-S fuzzy-neural modeling approach to the design of robust tracking controllers is developed for the uncertain active suspension system. Finally, this paper gives simulation results of an uncertain suspension system with the on-line adaptive T-S fuzzy-neural controller, and is shown to provide good effectiveness under the conditions that parts of the suspension system fail.","PeriodicalId":117895,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114141486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The combination belief value can be the decision rule for the D-S noise detector. A fuzzy averaging method where the weights are constructed using a predefined fuzzy set is developed to achieve noise cancellation. Besides that, a simple second-pass filter is also employed to improve the final filtering performance.

SIM (Self-organizing Image browsing Map) is one of contents-based image retrieval algorithms that uses only browsable mapping results obtained by SOM (Self Organizing Map). However, SOM may have an error in selecting the right BMU in learning phase if there are similar nodes with distorted color information due to the intensity of light or objects' movements in the image. Such images may be mapped into other grouping nodes thus the search rate could be decreased by this effect. In this paper, we propose an improved SIM that uses HSV color model in extracting image features with color quantization. In order to avoid unexpected learning error mentioned above, our SOM consists of two layers. In learning phase, SOM layer 1 has the color feature vectors as input. After learning SOM Layer 1, the connection weights of this layer become the input of SOM Layer 2 and re-learning occurs. With this multi-layered SOM learning, we can avoid mapping errors among similar nodes of different color information. In search, we put the query image vector into SOM layer 2 and select nodes of SOM layer 1 that connects with chosen BMU of SOM layer 2. In experiment, we verified that the proposed SIM was better than the original SIM and avoid mapping error effectively.","PeriodicalId":117895,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116097578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model's learning algorithm is divided into two stages. The first stage iteratively generates fuzzy rules, employing a boosting algorithm that localizes new rules in uncovered subspaces of the feature space. Each rule is obtained through an efficient genetic rule extraction method, which both adapts the parameters of the fuzzy sets in the premise space and determines the required features of the rule, further improving the interpretability of the obtained model. The second stage fine-tunes the obtained rule base through an evolutionary algorithm (EA), improving the cooperation among the fuzzy rules and, thus, increasing the classification performance attained after the first stage. The BGFC is tested using an IKONOS multispectral VHR image, in the agricultural area surrounding a lake-wetland ecosystem in northern Greece. The results indicate that the proposed system is able to handle multi-dimensional feature spaces, effectively exploiting information from different feature sources.","PeriodicalId":117895,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121932483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
