Based on piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions, the proposed fuzzy affine model predictive control approach can ensure both the closed-loop system stability and the satisfactory transient control performance even under input and state constraints. With the help of partitioned degenerate ellipsoids and S-procedure, the large terminal invariant set of a fuzzy affine system can be achieved offline by solving a convex semi-definite programming problem subject to some linear matrix inequalities, rather than the non-convex bilinear matrix inequalities as in conventional fuzzy affine model based control. Then with the associated terminal cost, the resulting online open-loop predictive control approach can be formulated as a standard quadratic programming problem, which is readily solvable. Simulation results have demonstrated the performance of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"52 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":"114987968","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}

We propose an approach to describe and to extract the fuzzy color semantics. According to human color perception model, we utilize the linguistic variable to describe the image color semantics, so it becomes possible to depict the image in linguistic expression such as mostly red. Furthermore, we apply the feedforward neural network to model the vagueness of human color perception and to extract the fuzzy semantic feature vector. Our experiments show that the color semantic features have good accordance with the human perception, and also have good retrieval performance. In some extent, our approach shows the potential to reduce the semantic gap in CBIR.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"25 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":"114668833","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 paper, we propose a three-step fusion scheme, that allows to aggregate (17.1 nm, 19.5 nm) data stemming from the solar EIT instrument onboard the SoHO mission, and that is flexible enough to allow the integration of other type of information. The method is based on both a spatially constrained possibilistic clustering algorithm and a context dependent fusion operator. It aggregates the complementary and redundant information coming from the input sources. The results obtained on a 9-year dataset are consistent with those found in the solar physics literature. Unlike previous algorithms used in solar physics, our method has the ability to add further heterogeneous sources and sensors (e.g. human knowledge, images in other bandpasses, ratio of images) to the process, in order to postpone the decision step (here the segmentation of structures of interest) until sufficient information is available.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"86 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":"115171296","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}

Therefore, an approximation approach to the original two-stage FRMRPs is proposed, which results in finite-dimensional approximating two-stage FRMRPs. After that, the paper deals with the convergence of the objective value of the approximating two-stage FRMRP to that of the original two-stage FRMRP.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"263 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":"115282353","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}

This is obtained by assigning classes to the constraints and by allowing only one constraint per class, in order to build a collection of independent STPs that can share sub-problems and therefore allows increasing algorithm efficiency. The model proposed is directly applied to fuzzy constraint satisfaction problems and can be solved using an extended fuzzy path-consistency algorithm, also presented in the paper. A simple application to medical diagnosis shows its expressive power over previous tractable temporal reasoning models.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"9 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":"121679808","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}

When input words to a CWW engine are modeled by interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2 FSs), the CWW engine's output can also be an IT2 FS, A tilde, which needs to be mapped to a linguistic label so that it can be understood. Because each linguistic label is represented by an IT2 FS Bi, there is a need to compare the similarity of A tilde and B tildei to find the B tildei most similar to A tilde. In this paper, a vector similarity measure (VSM) is proposed for IT2 FSs, whose two elements measure the similarity in shape and proximity, respectively. A comparative study shows that the VSM gives more reasonable results than all other existing similarity measures for IT2 FSs.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"24 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":"124074368","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 antecedent partition uses triangular sets with 0.5 interpolations. The most promissory aspect in our proposal consists in achieving a great precision without sacrificing the fuzzy system interpretability. The real-world applicability of the proposed approach is demonstrated by application to a classic benchmark in system modeling and identification (Box-Jenkins gas furnace) and to a temperature control of a food process.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"35 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":"124076214","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}
