The resultant hierarchical rule base is the knowledge base, which is constructed by using structure constructing evolutionary techniques, namely, Genetic and Bacterial Programming Algorithms. Applying hierarchical fuzzy rule bases is a way of reducing the complexity of the knowledge base, whereas evolutionary methods ensure a relatively efficient learning process. This is the reason of the investigation of this combination.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133513820","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}

Moreover, recent developments in the fields of high definition (HD) multimedia content and personal content collections (personal camcorders and digital still image cameras) tend to generate a huge volume of multimedia data everyday. Thus, the need for a meaningful, quick organization and access to generated content is now more than necessary; however, it still remains a rather difficult problem to be tackled both by humans and computers. In this paper we propose an intelligent extension of traditional image analysis methodologies towards more efficient digital content retrieval. The main idea is to extend local feature extraction methodologies by introducing additional geometrical constraints in the process. The proposed approach is tested and evaluated on a number of publicly available image datasets and results are very promising.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133623203","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 demonstrate the capabilities of the dynamic fuzzy c-means (dFCM) algorithm with the aid of synthetic data sets, and discuss a possible application of the dFCM algorithm in associative memories, through preliminary experiments.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"41 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134224697","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}

However, even though many methods for adult brain have been studied, there are few studies for infantile brain. Same as the adult brain, it is effective to measure cerebral surface and for quantitative diagnosis of neonatal and infantile brain diseases. This article proposes a skull stripping method that can be applied to the neonatal and infantile brain. The proposed method can be applied to both of T1 weighted and T2 weighted MR images. First, the proposed method estimates intensity distribution of white matter, gray matter, cerebrospinal fluid, fat, and others using a priori knowledge based Bayesian classification with Gaussian mixture model. The priori knowledge is embedded by representing them with fuzzy membership functions. Second, the proposed method optimizes the whole brain by using fuzzy active surface model, which evaluates the deforming model with fuzzy rules. The proposed method was applied to 26 neonatal and infantile subjects between −4 weeks and 4 years 1 month old. The results showed that the proposed method stripped skull well from any neonatal and infantile MR images.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114543360","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}

To draw the maximum wind energy, a buck converter is applied to adjust the recified output voltage of the permanent-magnet synchronous generator. Based on the T-S fuzzy representation of the system, the fuzzy maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller is developed to maintain the maximum power voltage. The MPPT control guarantees asymptotic convergence, while control gains can be systematically designed by solving linear matrix inequality (LMI). Furthermore, the robust MPPT is also discussed to cope with varying wind speed and system uncertainty. Satisfactory performance is shown from the numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"203 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114480449","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}

A fuzzy scheduling system is responsible for inserting idle times on machines in order to produce initial robust schedules; and a rescheduling system which uses match-up approaches accommodates the newly arriving jobs. The main goal is to investigate the performance of this combined system when the arriving jobs are either rush orders or regular ones. Our results and statistical analysis show that a robust initial schedule combined with match-up rescheduling lead to higher quality and more reliable schedules even when jobs with different urgency levels arrive in a dynamic and uncertain shop floor.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117288334","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}
