In this chapter, the basics of the rough set approach are presented, and an outline of an exemplary processor structure is given. The organization of a simple processor is based on elementary rough set granules and dependencies between them. The rough set processor (RSP) is meant to be used as an additional fast classification unit in ordinary computers or as an autonomous learning machine. In ...

In the field of mechanical engineering, steam turbine fault diagnosis is a difficult task for mechanical engineers who are confronted with challenges in dealing with copious amounts of uncertain information. Different mechanical engineers may have their own opinions about the system fault knowledge base that differs slightly from other mechanical engineers. Thus, to solve the problems presented...

As medical images contain uncertainties, there are difficulties in classification of images into homogeneous regions. Fuzzy sets, rough sets and the combination of fuzzy and rough sets plays a prominent role in formalizing uncertainty, vagueness, and incompleteness in diagnosis. Development of hybrid approaches for the segmentation of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the ability of com...
