The proposed algorithm enforces the spatial continuity constraint to account for the spatial correlations between image voxels, resulting in the suppression of noise and classification ambiguity. The INU artifact is compensated for by the introduction of a pseudo-3D bias field, which is modeled as a stack of smooth B-spline surfaces with continuity enforced across slices. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated experimentally using both simulated and real MR images.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

A K-Means clustering method is used to generate the initial finely segmented image and to reduce the search space of the image segmentation. A genetic algorithm is then employed to control region splitting and merging to optimize the evaluation function. A critical factor affecting the performance of the segmentation is the choice of the evaluation function in the design of genetic algorithm. Here an evaluation function is defined that incorporates both edge and region information. Considering the edge ambiguity in the image, a novel fuzzy-set-based edge-boundary-coincidence measure is defined and combined with a region heterogeneity measure to guide the genetic algorithm to tune the segmentation. Experimental results on test images show that the genetic segmentation algorithm with the fuzzy-set-based evaluation function performs very well.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

The rule induction process terminates when a stop criterion is satisfied. The proposed approach will be effective in dynamic data-mining applications. To demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of our algorithm, we present a simulation result.

One of the proposed solutions is traffic engineering with MPLS. However, the characterization of the demands and of the network state are difficult tasks, considering that the demands and the data traffic are random, consequently, the network state changes dynamically and in a random way. In this work we propose a connection admission controller that uses fuzzy logic based on linguistic rules to treat the inaccurate information in IP over MPLS networks with the purpose of offering Quality of Service to the users. In accordance with the simulation results, we concluded that the use of fuzzy logic allows a large flexibility in the connection admission process and the possibility to include more network and traffic information when making a decision without increasing considerably the controller complexity.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

The multiobjective behavior coordination plays a role in integrating outputs of basic behavioral modules. A behavioral weight is assigned to each behavioral module represented by fuzzy rules, production rules, and so on. By updating these behavioral weights, the mobile robot can take a multi-objective situated action. However, the coordination rule is designed suitably static environments and the mobile robot must learn or update coordination rule in dynamic environments with moving obstacles. Therefore, we propose a local episode-based learning which is a learning method using self-reference of the relationship between previous perception and action in short-term memory.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.
