Geospatial information we gather through different sensors and from the concepts of the geographic objects, is generally vague, imprecise and uncertain. Also, the imprecision becomes obvious due to the multi-granular structure of the multi-sensor satellite images and that leads to error accumulation at every stage in geo-processing. It has been observed that the ground truth data, forming a pri...

Although computers have come a long way since their invention, they are basically able to handle only crisp values at the hardware level. Unfortunately, the world we llve in consists of problems which fail to fall into this category, i.e. uncertainty is all too common. In this work, we look at a problem which involves uncertainty. To be specific we deal with attributes which are fuzzy sets. Und...

The roughness of a rough set arises from the existence of its boundary region. In such a boundary region, each object has a non-zero rough membership degree. When an object’s rough membership degree is regarded as its fuzzy membership degree, a rough set can induce a fuzzy set. This relationship motivates us to assert that there may exist some inherent relations between the roughness of a rough...

In this paper the concept of prob'abilistic events is introduced and their closure properties under the operations on the set of all fuzzy events are studied. I t is shown that the mean of probabilistie events is a probabilistie event and the set of all probabilistie events is closed under the transposition and the operation of the convex-combination. A sufficient conditioll for the union and t...

This paper generalizes the concept of rough membership functions in pattern classi$cation tasks to rough–fuzzy membership functions and rough–fuzzy ownership functions. Unlike the rough membership value of a pattern, which is sensitive only towards the rough uncertainty associated with the pattern, the rough–fuzzy membership (or ownership) value of the pattern signi$es the rough uncertainty as ...

Automata theory plays a key role in computational theory as many computational problems can be solved with its help. Formal grammar is a special type of automata designed for linguistic purposes. Formal grammar generates formal languages. Rough grammar and rough languages were introduced to incorporate the imprecision of real languages in formal languages. These languages have limitations on un...

With the arrival of the information age, information acquisition and communication have become more and more important in the field of information technology. This paper uses the concept of homomorphism as a basic tool to study the communication between fuzzy information systems. The concepts of consistent and compatible mappings with respect to fuzzy sets are firstly defined and their basic pr...

This paper presents a general framework for the study of rough fuzzy sets in which fuzzy sets are approximated in a crisp approximation space. By the constructive approach, a pair of lower and upper generalized rough fuzzy approximation operators is first defined. The rough fuzzy approximation operators are represented by a class of generalized crisp approximation operators. Properties of rough...

The information systems with incomplete attribute values and fuzzy decisions commonly exist in practical problems. On the base of the notion of variable precision rough set model for incomplete information system and the rough set model for incomplete and fuzzy decision information system, the variable rough set model for incomplete and fuzzy decision information system is constructed, which is...
