In this paper, the authors study the notion of n-fold implicative and fuzzy n-fold implicative filters, which correspond to various sets of provable formulaes, in BL-algebras. Several characterizations of fuzzy n-fold implicative filters are given and the authors analyse some relationships with various n-fold and fuzzy n-fold filters in BL-algebras, while constructing some algorithms for studyi...

Additive fuzzy systems can filter impulsive noise from signals. Alpha-stable statistics model the impulsiveness as a parametrized family of probability density functions or unit-area bell curves. The bell-curve parameter ct ranges through the interval (0, 2] and gives the Gaussian bell curve when 0t = 2 and gives the Cauchy bell curve when ~t = 1. The impulsiveness grows as ~ falls and the bell...

This paper proposes a new adaptive control technique for shunt active power filter (SAPF) by applying the interval type-2 fuzzy controller (IT2FC) in the DC voltage outer loop. This adaptive method achieved the main control objectives and compensated the active filter parameters uncertainties besides the unbalanced loads compensation without neutral wire. The interval type-2 fuzzy controller (I...

Digital images are often contaminated by impulse noise during image acquisition and/or transmission over communication channel. A new Hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy (HNF) filter for restoring digital images corrupted by impulse noise is proposed in this paper. The proposed filter is a hybrid filter obtained by aptly combining a Nonlinear Filter (NF), Canny Edge Detector (CED) and an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy In...

An active modal-fuzzy control method using hydraulic actuators is presented for seismic response reduction. In the proposed control system, a new fuzzy controller designed in the modal space produces the desired active control force. This type controller has all advantages of the fuzzy control algorithm and modal approach. Since it is very difficult to select input variables used in fuzzy contr...

In video sequence processing, shadow remains a major source of error for object segmentation. Traditional methods of shadow removal are mainly based on colour difference thresholding between the background and current images. The application of colour filters on MPEG or MJPEG images, however, is often erroneous as the chrominance information is significantly reduced due to compression. In addit...

This paper introduces a filter, named FCF (Fuzzy Clusteringbased Filter), for removing redundant features, thus making it possible to improve the efficacy and the efficiency of data mining algorithms. FCF is based on the fuzzy partitioning of features into clusters. The number of clusters is automatically estimated from data. After the clustering process, FCF selects a subset of features from t...

and Applied Analysis Volume 2015, Article ID 856390, 8 pages http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2015/856390 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis a fascinating focus of research attracting constant attention. It is not surprising that there has been a rich body of relevant literature published in the past two decades; see, for example, [10–19] for control problems and [20–26] for filtering issues. In recent y...

In this paper, we present a technique based on fuzzy logic to improve the performance of the inertial navigation system integrated with GPS, and magnetometer. The proposed fuzzy technique is primarily used to predict position and velocity measurements during GPS outage signals. As long as the GPS measurements are available, the Q-SUKF of INS/GPS/MAG (MAG: magnetometer) integrated system operate...

This paper presents two fuzzy filters for the removal of both Impulse and Gaussian noise in color images. A combination of these two filters also helps in eliminating a mixture of these two noises. For dealing with the Impulse noise, an algorithm is developed to search for a set of uncorrupted pixels in the neighbourhood of the pixel of interest (i.e. the central pixel) and to compute the media...
