potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. this paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on genetic algorithm (ga) optimization and morphological operators. the proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

The purpose of the paper is to compare the performance of various fuzzy edge detectors which have been optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Three different type edge detectors Classical fuzzy Heuristic (CFH), Gaussian rule based (GRBF) and Robust Fuzzy Complement (RFC) are used. These edge detectors are effective in detecting edges, however the edges are thick. This paper proposes th...

This paper introduces an improved Electronic Stability Program for cars that can deal with the sudden burst of a tyre. The Improved Electronic Stability Program (IESP) is based on a fuzzy logic algorithm. The IESP collects data from the same sensors of a standard ESP and acts on brakes/throttle with the same actuators. The IESP reads the driver steering angle and the dynamic condition of the ca...

smart home is composed of several controllers with different plants in control. if each controller works independently, without considering the mutual effect of the others in the control process, the whole system could definitely not converge to an optimum desired status and may not ever reach the demanded condition. the function of different controller system may has conflict in some condition...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of several sensor nodes, each which may collect, receive and transmit data. In recent years, WSNs have emerged as essential technologies due to their ubiquity in applications such the military, smartphones, disaster management, healthcare monitoring, other surveillance systems. The inability send data from node promptly impossibility new reaching node's q...

The choice of the best optimization algorithm is a hard issue, and it sometime depends on specific problem. The Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is a search algorithm based on the law of gravity, which states that each particle attracts every other particle with a force called gravitational force. Some revised versions of GSA have been proposed by using intelligent techniques. This work pro...

Soft Computing, especially fuzzy model based operation proved to be very advantageous in power plant control where the high complexity, nonlinearity, and possible partial knowledge usually limit the usability of classical methods. By this, a model-based anytime control methodology can be suggested which is able to keep on continuous operation using non-exact, approximate models of the plant, th...

Fuzzy inference systems based on fuzzy rule bases (FRBs) have been successfully used to model real problems. Some of the limitations exhibited by these traditional fuzzy inference systems are that there is an abundance of fuzzy operations and operators that an expert should identify. In this paper we present an alternate learning and reasoning schema, which use fuzzy functions instead of if...t...
