in the present study, water allocation of latian dam between agricultural products was evaluated by using inexact two-stage optimization model and the final results were compared to a fuzzy interval. data were collected from the regional water and agricultural organization of tehran province for 1991 to 2009 years. the results showed that by using interval fuzzy programming, 63%, 69%, 49% and 3...

The change of land use/land cover has been known as an imperative force in environmental alteration, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This research was mainly aimed to assess the validity of two major types of land change modeling techniques via a three dimensional approach in Birjand urban watershed located in an arid climatic region of Iran. Thus, a Markovian approach based on two suit...

In this paper, we illustrate the modeling of a reservoir property (sand fraction) from seismic attributes namely seismic impedance, seismic amplitude, and instantaneous frequency using Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) approach. Input dataset includes 3D post-stacked seismic attributes and six well logs acquired from a hydrocarbon field located in the western coast of India. Presence of thin sand and shale laye...

The aim of this work was to delineate the prospects of podiform-type chromite by staged factor analysis and geochemical mineralization prospectivity index in Balvard area, SE Iran. The stream sediment data and fault density were used as the exploration features for prospectivity modeling in the studied area. In this regard, two continuous fuzzified evidence layers were generated and integrated ...

As longer lifespans become the norm and modern healthcare allows individuals to live more functional lives despite physical disabilities, there is an increasing need for personal assistance robots. One of the barriers to this shift in healthcare technology is the ability of the human operator to communicate his/her intent to the robot. In this paper, a method of interpreting eye gaze data using...

A fuzzy approach to collision avoidance for automated guided vehicle (AGV) navigation is proposed. Static obstacles with no a priori position information as well as moving obstacles with unknown trajectories are considered in this study. Intuitive and subjective human ideas of collision avoidance are modeled into fuzzy rules. Fuzzy logic is applied in the inference procedure for AGV navigation,...

The application of fuzzy time series models to forecasting has been drawing a great amount of attention. To provide a more sophisticated model to handle real world problems thus becomes important. This study intends to model fuzzy time series with multiple observations at a single time point. The proposed model shows how to fuzzify multiple observations into a fuzzy set. Neural networks are app...

This paper presents recent work on the improvement of the robotics vision based control strategy for underwater pipeline tracking system. The study focuses on developing image processing algorithms and a fuzzy inference system for the analysis of the terrain. The main goal is to implement the supervisory fuzzy learning control technique to reduce the errors on navigation decision due to the pip...

Our simple fuzzy neural network first thins the set of exemplar input feature vectors and then centers a Gaussian function on each remaining one and saves its associated output label (target). Next, any unknown feature vector to be classified is put through each Gaussian to get the fuzzy truth that it belongs to that center. The fuzzy truths for all Gaussian centers are then maximized and the l...
