In image processing, image segmentation is one of the important tasks to extract information from the images. A variety of segmentation algorithm is developed to satisfy increasing requirement of image segmentation. Fuzzy CMeans is unsupervised method that has been applied for the variety of purposes such as clustering, classification, image segmentation and target recognition. This method can ...

the late detection of the kick (the entrance of underground fluids into oil wells) leads to oil wellblowouts. it causes human life loss and imposes a great deal of expenses on the petroleum industry.this paper presents the application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system designed for an earlierkick detection using measurable drilling parameters. in order to generate the initial fuzzy infere...

Affective design is an important aspect of product development to achieve a competitive edge in the marketplace. A neural-fuzzy network approach has been attempted recently to model customer satisfaction for affective design and it has been proved to be an effective one to deal with the fuzziness and non-linearity of the modeling as well as generate explicit customer satisfaction models. Howeve...

Medical image segmentation plays a vital role in image processing due to the catering needs of the medical images in automating, delineating anatomical structures and diagnosis. Very often the medical images contain uncertain, vague, and incomplete data definition. The concepts of lower and upper approximations of rough sets effectively handle this data. In this paper, rough sets based clusteri...

The Fuzzy Clustering Problem (FCP) is a mathematical program which is difficult to solve since it is nonconvex, which implies possession of many local minima. The fuzzy C-means heuristic is the widely known approach to this problem, but it is guaranteed only to yield local minima. In this paper, we propose a new approach to this problem which is based on tabu search technique, and aims at findi...

Many fuzzy clustering based techniques when applied to image segmentation do not incorporate spatial relationships of the pixels, while fuzzy rule-based image segmentation techniques are generally application dependent. Also for most of these techniques, the structure of the membership functions is predefined and parameters have to either automatically or manually derived. This paper addresses ...

Most of the clustering methods used in the clustering of chemical structures such as Ward’s, Group Average, Kmeans and Jarvis-Patrick, are known as hard or crisp as they partition a dataset into strictly disjoint subsets; and thus are not suitable for the clustering of chemical structures exhibiting more than one activity. Although, fuzzy clustering algorithms such as fuzzy cmeans provides an i...

This paper presents a variation of fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm that provides data clustering. The proposed algorithm incorporates the local spatial information in a novel fuzzy way. The new algorithm is called Weighted Fuzzy Local Information C-Means (WFLICM). WFLICM can overcome the disadvantages of the known fuzzy Cmeans algorithm and at the same time enhances the clustering performance. Th...

The inverted pendulum is a highly nonlinear and open loop unstable system. To develop an accurate model of the inverted pendulum, different linear and nonlinear methods of identification will be used. However one of the problems encountered during modeling is the collection of experimental data from the inverted pendulum system. Since the output data from the unstable system does not show enoug...
