ISSN: 2186-1390 http://www.ijcvsp.com Abstract In this paper, a fuzzy approach for image segmentation based on Tsallis entropy is introduced. This approach employs fuzzy Tsallis entropy to measure the structural information of image and to locate the optimal threshold desired by segmentation. The proposed method draws upon the postulation that the optimal threshold concurs with maximum informat...

  A data envelopment analysis (DEA) method can be regarded as a useful management tool to evaluate decision making units (DMUs) using multiple inputs and outputs. In some cases, we face with imprecise inputs and outputs, such as fuzzy or interval data, so the efficiency of DMUs will not be exact. Most researchers have been interested in getting efficiency and ranking DMUs recently. Models of th...

An image segmentation technique based on maximum fuzzy entropy is applied for Magnetic Resonance (MR) brain images to detect a brain tumor is presented in this paper. The proposed method performs image segmentation based on adaptive thresholding of the input MR brain images. The MR brain image is classified into two Membership Function (MF), whose MFs of the fuzzy region are Z-function and S-fu...

Fuzzy extractors (Dodis et al., Eurocrypt 2004) convert repeated noisy readings of a high-entropy secret into the same uniformly distributed key. To eliminate noise, they require an initial enrollment phase that takes the first noisy reading of the secret and produces a nonsecret helper string to be used in subsequent readings. This helper string reduces the entropy of the original secret—in th...

Background: In this paper, a generic hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) model for clustering various ECG beats according to weights of attributes is proposed. A comprehensive review of the electrocardiogram signal classification and segmentation methodologies indicates that algorithms which are able to effectively handle the nonstationary and uncertainty of the signals should be used for ECG analysis. Ex...

With the growing worldwide awareness of environmental protection and sustainable development, green purchasing has become an important issue for companies to gain environmental and developmental sustainability. Thermal power is the main power generation form in China, and the green supplier selection is essential to the smooth and sustainable construction of thermal power plants. Therefore, sel...

This article investigates a novel automatic microcalcification detection method using a type II fuzzy index. The thresholding is performed using the Tsallis entropy characterized by another parameter ‘q’, which depends on the non-extensiveness of a mammogram. In previous studies, ‘q’ was calculated using the histogram distribution, which can lead to erroneous results when pectoral muscles are i...

Abstract: Fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (FMCDM) methods are techniques of finding the trade-off option out of all feasible alternatives that are characterized by multiple criteria and where data cannot be measured precisely, but can be represented, for instance, by ordered fuzzy numbers (OFNs). One of the main steps in FMCDM methods consist in finding the appropriate criteria weights....

In the fuzzy set theory, information  measures play a paramount role in several areas such as decision making, pattern recognition etc. In this paper, similarity measure based on cosine function and entropy measures based on logarithmic function for IFSs are proposed. Comparisons of proposed similarity and entropy measures with the existing ones are listed. Numerical results limpidly betoken th...
