The host vehicle is equipped with a set of sensors used to detect and track any object of interest in the field of view. In this work a multiple-sensor obstacle identification and fusion approach for the Autotaxi system is proposed. Based on the knowledge about the vehicles, the obstacles to be detected, and the guideway network system, two obstacle classifier systems are designed using the principles of fuzzy logic. In Classifier 1 the classification process is carried out based on the obstacle's width and kind of road in which the host vehicle is navigating. In Classifier 2 the classification process is carried out based on the obstacle's width and height together with the kind of road in which the host vehicle is navigating. Furthermore, as different declarations of identity can be performed by using information from different sensors, a method to fuse these identity declarations is proposed. The viability of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a simulated example. Promising results are reported.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114749212","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 supervision information in S-SCAD consists of a small set of constraints on which instances should or should not reside in the same cluster. The feature set is divided into logical subsets of features, and a degree of relevance is dynamically assigned to each subset based on its partial degree of dissimilarity. These weights have two advantages. First, they help in partitioning the data set into more meaningful clusters. Second, they can be used as part of a more complex learning system to enhance its learning behavior. We show that the partial supervision can guide the algorithm in learning the prototype parameters and the feature relevance weights, and thus, improve the final partition. The performance of the proposed algorithm is illustrated by using it to categorize a collection of color images. We use four feature subsets that encode color, structure, and texture information. The results are compared to other similar algorithms.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124496676","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 R-values of type-2 fuzzy rules are obtained by applying QR decomposition in which there is no need to estimate a rank as required in the SVD-QR with column pivoting algorithm. The c-values of type-2 fuzzy rules are suggested to rank rules based on the effects of rule consequents. Experimental results on a signal recovery problem have shown that by using the proposed indices the most influential type-2 fuzzy rules can be effectively selected to construct parsimonious type-2 fuzzy models while the system performances are kept at a satisfied level.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125668056","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 frame of interval probabilities is similar to evidence theory proposed by Dempster and Shafer and they can be regarded as evidences on a finite set. The interval probability is suitable to represent ignorance on the given phenomenon so that it can be used as a kind of subjective probability. We show how to obtain the evidence by a pairwise comparison matrix on a finite set. The pariwise comparisons are usually inconsistent each other since they are given based on human judgements. The interval probabilities from them are determined so as to include such inconsistency. In case of two evidences whose prior and conditional probabilities are obtained as intervals, the marginal and posterior probabilities are also calculated as interval probabilities from the view of possibility.

The evolving scheme for the single-model case exploits a conventional zero-order fuzzy classification model architecture with Gaussian fuzzy sets in the rules antecedents, crisp class labels in the rule consequents and rule weights standing for confidence values in the class labels. In the multi-model case FLEXFIS-Class exploits the idea of regression by an indicator matrix to evolve a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model for each separate class and combines the single models' predictions to a final classification statement. The paper includes a technique for increasing the prediction quality, whenever a drift in a data stream occurs. An empirical analysis will be given based on an online, adaptive image classification framework, where images showing production items should be classified into good or bad ones. This analysis will include the comparison of evolving single-and multi-model fuzzy classifiers with conventional batch modelling approaches with respect to achieved prediction accuracy on new online data. It will also be shown that multi-model architecture can outperform conventional single-model architecture ('classical' fuzzy classification models) for all data sets with respect to prediction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130791453","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}
