evaporation, as a major component of the hydrologic cycle, plays a key role in water resources development and management in arid and semi-arid climatic regions. although there are empirical formulas available, their performances are not all satisfactory due to the complicated nature of the evaporation process and the data availability. this paper explores evaporation estimation methods based o...

There has been a growing interest in combining both neural network and fuzzy system, and as a result, neuro-fuzzy computing techniques have been evolved. ANFIS (adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system) model combined the neural network adaptive capabilities and the fuzzy logic qualitative approach. In this paper, a novel structure of unsupervised ANFIS is presented to solve differential e...

The application of neuro-fuzzy inference system to predict the compressive strengths of concrete is presented in this study. To investigate the influence of various parameters which affect the compressive strength, 2000 data samples were used for the analysis. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was introduced for training and testing the data obtained from technical literatures. To r...

This paper proposes an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for predicting the surface roughness in turning operation for set of given cutting parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Two different membership functions, triangular and bell shaped, were adopted during the training process of ANFIS in order to compare the prediction accuracy of surface roughness by t...

Purpose Respiratory motion prediction is a chaotic time series prediction problem. In this study, respiratory motion predictability from 12 traces from breast cancer patients is examined by using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Interval Type-2 Non Singleton Fuzzy System (IT2NSFLS). Methods Free breathing data curves were obtained from Real Time Position Management system (RPM ...

This paper deals with the implementation of the Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) on a Xilinx based Field Programmable Gate Array Spartan-3E. The implemented hardware is then used to efficiently calibrate the U-Tube manometer, in which the relation between the level of mercury and the Capacitance developed across the Copper Plates of the manometer is highly non-linear. This system s...

This paper proposes the implementation of a very simple but efficient Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System ( ANFIS )based algorithm to detect the edges of an gray scale image. The proposed approach begins by scanning the images using floating 3x3 pixel window. ANFIS system designed has 8 inputs, which corresponds to 8 pixels of instantaneous scanning matrix, one output that tells whether the p...
