Montero","doi":"10.1109/NAFIPS.2003.1226835","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/NAFIPS.2003.1226835","url":null,"abstract":"The goal of this paper is to present an algorithm for terrain matching, leveraging an existing fuzzy clustering algorithm, and modifying it to its supervised version, in order to apply the algorithm to georegistration and, later on pattern recognition. Georegistration is the process of adjusting one drawing or image to the geographic location of a \"known good\" reference drawing, image, surface or map, The georegistration problem can be treated as a pattern recognition problem; and it can be applied to the target detection problem. The terrain matching algorithm will be based on fuzzy set theory as a very accurate method to represent the imprecision of the real world, and presented as a multicriteria decision making problem. The energy emitted and reflected by the Earth's surface has to be recorded by relatively complex remote sensing devices that have spatial, spectral and geometrical resolution constraints. Errors usually slip into the data acquisition process. Therefore, it is necessary to preprocess the remotely sensed data, prior to analyzing it (image restoration, involving the correction of distortion, degradation and noise introduced during the rendering process). In this paper we shall assume that all these problems have been solved, focusing our study on the image classification of a corrected image being close enough, both geometrically and radiometrically, to the radiant energy characteristics of the target scene. In particular, at a first stage we consider each pixel individually; and a class will be assigned to each pixel, taking into account several values measured in separate spectral bands. Then we shall describe an automatic detection system based on a previous algorithm developed in A. Del Amo et al., introducing now the fuzzy partition model proposed by A. Del Amo et al. A first phase will lead to a spectral definition of patterns; and a second phase will lead to classification and recognition. Similarity measures will then allow us to evaluate the degree to which a pixel can be associated to each pattern, or determine if a pattern is similar enough to a subimage of the main image, to establish that a target we are looking for can be found on that image.","PeriodicalId":153530,"journal":{"name":"22nd International Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society, NAFIPS 2003","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116237462","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}

Degree of similarity between two imprecise data represented in two fuzzy sets is approximately determined by using a fuzzy conditional probability relation. More-over, the degree of similarity relationship between fuzzy sets corresponding to fuzzy classes as results of a fuzzy partition on a given finite set of data is examined. Related to a well known fuzzy partition, called fuzzy pseudopartition or fuzzy c-partition where c designates the number of fuzzy classes in the partition, we introduced fuzzy symmetric c-partition regarded as a special case of the fuzzy c-partition. In addition, we also introduced fuzzy covering as a generalization of fuzzy partition. Similarly, two fuzzy coverings, namely fuzzy c-covering and fuzzy symmetric c-covering are proposed corresponding to the fuzzy c-partition and the fuzzy symmetric c-partition, respectively. In this paper, special attention will be given to apply the concept of fuzzy c-covering in generating a fuzzy thesaurus.","PeriodicalId":153530,"journal":{"name":"22nd International Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society, NAFIPS 2003","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125038322","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}

Most of them tend to generate too many rides during the learning process. This is due to data sets obtained from real world systems containing distorted elements or noisy data. Most approaches try to completely ignore outliers, which can be potentially harmful since the example may describe a rare but still extremely interesting phenomena in the data. In order to avoid this conflict, we propose to build a hierarchy of fuzzy rule systems. The goal of this model-hierarchy are interpretable models with only few relevant rules on each level of the hierarchy. The resulting fuzzy model hierarchy forms a structure in which the top model covers all data explicitly and generates a significant smaller number of rules than the original fuzzy rule learner. The models on the bottom, on the other hand, consist of only a few rules in each level and explain pans with only weak relevance in the data. We demonstrate the proposed method's usefulness on several classification benchmark data sets. The results demonstrate how the rule hierarchy allows to build much smaller fuzzy rule systems and how the model-especially at higher levels of the hierarchy-remains interpretable.","PeriodicalId":153530,"journal":{"name":"22nd International Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society, NAFIPS 2003","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125562477","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}

In this work, our main objective is to devise a fuzzy integral-based aggregation scheme in an attempt to get more accurate and robust matching, by combining the matching decisions of a finite number of image template matching algorithms, Particularly, Choquet integrals associated with fuzzy measures can be used for handling fuzziness due to incomplete image information. In the present work, a fuzzy integral-based aggregated template matching system is developed on the basis of Choquet integral using belief, plausibility, and probability measure, while being interpreted as an optimistic, a pessimistic, and a noninteracting aggregation, respectively. Finally, to show a validation of Choquet integral-based template matching methods, three individual template matching methods (i,e., MOAD-matcher, SOAD-matcher, and SOSD-matcher) are combined using Choquet integral with respect to different fuzzy measures. Then, performance of these aggregated matchers is compared to individual matchers' performance. It is found that in a complementary sense a Choquet integral-based aggregation of template matching methods gives a better performance compared to the performance of the individual methods.","PeriodicalId":153530,"journal":{"name":"22nd International Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society, NAFIPS 2003","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121857623","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}

In this work, each image contains the same objects and sensor pose parameters are not known. The spatial relationships among objects in the image, calculated using the histogram of forces (F-histogram) method, are used as matching elements. The degree of matching between two matching elements is calculated by comparing their F-histogram representations. Various geometric transformations are applied to the F-histograms during the comparison process to maximize the histogram similarity measure and to estimate the sensor pose parameters. The histogram similarity measure and the estimated sensor pose parameters are used as features in finding the best histogram correspondence map that matches the two images.","PeriodicalId":153530,"journal":{"name":"22nd International Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society, NAFIPS 2003","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127166250","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}

In the off-line stage, experts give quality ratings of objects based on a numerical scale, and then these ratings are fuzzified as fuzzy numbers. Collective knowledge of experts in quality rating is acquired through fuzzy regression analysis. In the on-line stage, a computer vision system is set up to obtain the dimensions of objects, and then the fuzzy regression model maps these dimensions to fuzzy quality ratings in the form of fuzzy numbers.
