in this paper, the consequences of well-known characteristics of near-fault ground motions, forward directivity and fling step, on the seismic response control is investigated. an integrated fuzzy rule-based control strategy for building structures incorporated with semi active friction damping system with amplifying braces (fdsab) is developed. the membership functions and fuzzy rules of fuzzy...

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 objective of image fusion for medical images is to combine multiple images obtained from various sources into a single image suitable for better diagnosis. Most of the state-of-the-art image fusing technique is based on nonfuzzy sets, and the fused image so obtained lags with complementary information. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) are determined to be more suitable for civilian, and medi...

This paper develops an automatic parking algorithm based on a fuzzy logic controller with the vehicle pose for the input and the steering angle for the output. In this way some feasible reference trajectory path have been introduced according to geometric and kinematic constraints and nonholonomic constraints to simulate motion path of car. Also a novel method is used for parking space detec...

Most fuzzy controllers and fuzzy expert systems must predefine membership functions and fuzzy inference rules to map numeric data into linguistic variable terms and to make fuzzy reasoning work. In this paper, we propose a general learning method as a framework for automatically deriving membership functions and fuzzy if-then rules from a set of given training examples to rapidly build a protot...
