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 ...

This paper reviews the use of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) for vector-controlled induction motor drives. While conventional schemes do not deal well with the highly nonlinear nature of motor control, fuzzy logic with its adjustability and neural networks with their adaptability have been shown to be excellent alternatives. ANFIS combines the advantages of fuzzy logic and neura...

This paper presents a methodology for the detection of broken rotor bar fault and power quality (PQ) disturbances in the supply to induction motor. These faults lead to increase in the temperature and decrease in the efficiency of the induction motor. Wavelet transform is applied to the stator current, for the extraction of the signature of the fault. These wavelet coefficients are fed as input...

The investigation of the effects of cracks or similar weaknesses on the load carrying capacity of structural elements such as columns, beams and shells is an important problem in civil, mechanical, earthquake and aerospace engineering. In this paper, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial neural network (ANN)model have been successfully used for the buckling analysis of sl...

The paper considers both knowledge acquisition and knowledge interpretation tasks as tightly connected and continuously interacting processes in a contemporary knowledge engineering system. Fuzzy rules are used here as a framework for knowledge representation. An algorithm REFuNN for fuzzy rules extraction from adaptive fuzzy neural networks (FuNN) is proposed. A case study of Iris classificati...

In manufacturing systems such as ̄exible manufacturing systems (FMS), one of the most important issues is accurate detection of the tool conditions under given cutting conditions. An investigation is presented of a tool condition monitoring system (TCMS), which consists of a wavelet transform preprocessor for generating features from acoustic emission (AE) signals, followed by a high speed neura...

In this paper, Wavelet based ANFIS for finding inter turn fault of generator is proposed. The detector uniquely responds to the winding inter turn fault with remarkably high sensitivity. Discrimination of different percentage of winding affected by inter turn fault is provided via ANFIS having an Eight dimensional input vector. This input vector is obtained from features extracted from DWT of i...
