Wireless sensor network consists of a large number of sensor nodes. Determining the actual position of each sensor node is thus difficult. Finding the exact position of each sensor forms the basis of localization. Localization in wireless sensor network refers to finding position of unknown nodes based on position of known nodes known as anchors or reference nodes. This paper propose centroid l...

fuzzy segmentation is an effective way of segmenting out objects in images containing both random noise and varying illumination. in this paper, a modified method based on the comprehensive learning particle swarm optimization (clpso) is proposed for pixel classification in hsi color space by selecting a fuzzy classification system with minimum number of fuzzy rules and minimum number of incorr...

In this paper, we propose a method to calculate the correlation coefficient of generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets by means of "centroid". The value which obtained from this method tell us the strength of relationship between the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets [11] and the whether the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets are positively or negatively related. This method looks better t...

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. Many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. Constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. But some weaknesses are found in these indexes. The purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and other fuzzy application systems. In spite of many ranking methods, no one can rank fuzzy numbers with human intuition consistently in all cases. Shortcoming are found in some of the convenient methods for ranking triangular fuzzy numbers such as the coefficient of variation (CV index), distance between fuzzy set...

In this study the intuitionistic fuzzy version of critical path method has been proposed to solve networking problems with uncertain activity durations. Intuitionistic set [1] is an extension theory [2] unlike set, it focuses on degree belonging, nonbelonging or non-membership function and hesitancy which helps decision maker adopt best among worst cases. Trapezoidal triangular numbers are util...

The purpose of this study is to introduce an application of fuzzy centroid-based approach to ranking the customer requirements using QFD with competition considerations for Diba Fiberglass, an Iranian Company. The illustrated approach, not only focuses on the normal fuzzy numbers, but also considers the non-normal fuzzy numbers to capture the true customer requirements. To this end, first, we p...

Classic methods have been well reported to measure the correlation coefficient of crisp observed data. However, the uncertainty in the real world sometimes makes crisp data unavailable, especially for linguistic variables. Under this situation, fuzzy numbers are often involved in the observed data, but classic statistical methods cannot be directly used to calculate the correlation coefficient ...
