Intelligent environments aim to maximize the user comfort and safety while achieving other objectives such as energy minimization. Intelligent shared spaces (such as homes, classrooms, offices, libraries, etc.) need to consider the preferences of users from diverse backgrounds. However, there are high levels of uncertainties faced in intelligent shared spaces. Hence, there is a need to employ i...

In this paper, we present a type-2 fuzzy logic based system for robustly extracting the human silhouette which is a fundamental and important procedure for advanced video processing applications, such as pedestrian tracking, human activity analysis and event detection. The presented interval type-2 fuzzy logic system is able to detach moving objects from extracted human silhouette in dynamic en...

In this paper a new backpropagation learning method enhanced with type-2 fuzzy logic is presented. Simulation results and a comparative study among monolithic neural networks, neural network with type-1 fuzzy weights and neural network with type-2 fuzzy weights are presented to illustrate the advantages of the proposed method. In this work, type-2 fuzzy inference systems are used to obtain the ...

A new learning methodology based on a hybrid algorithm for interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (FLS) parameter estimation is presented. The new proposal consists of Back-Propagation with Recursive Least-Squares (BP-RLS) and BackPropagation with square-root filter (BP-REFIL). A system with the proposed methodology was simulated to test its capability for output surface temperature prediction of ...

this paper introduces an indirect adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller as a power system stabilizer for damping local and inter-area modes of oscillations of multi-machine power systems. this controller is designed based on the combination of sliding mode controller and the fuzzy logic systems. the fuzzy systems are used to approximate the unknown functions of power system model. generator sp...
