In this paper, a combined fuzzy logic and unsymmetric trimmed median filter approach is proposed to remove the high density salt and pepper noise in gray scale and colour images. This algorithm is a combination of decision based unsymmetrical trimmed median filter and fuzzy thresholding technique to preserve edges and fine details in an image. The decision based unsymmetric trimmed median filte...

In this paper, we present an efficient and simple solution to the parallelization of discrete integration programs of ordinary differential equations (ODE). The main technique used is known as loop tiling. To avoid the overhead due to code complexity and border effects, we introduce redundant tasks and we use non parallelepiped tiles. Thanks both to cache reuse ( 4:3) and coarse granularity ( 2...

Given the time-efficient characteristics of urban cold chain transportation and time-varying road speed, customers encounter problem limited vehicle path optimization due to a fuzzy time window. An model with objective function as minimum total cost is constructed under premise service reliability, an artificial immune particle swarm algorithm designed solve model. For empirical analysis Xiamen...

This contribution proposes a fuzzy approach to color image filtering by the fuzzy modeling of the concept of color credibility. Based on the perceptual notion of color resemblance, the colors are modeled as fuzzy sets in the color space. The filtering principle is to select at the filters output the color that is the most credible with respect to the rest of colors within the filtering window. ...

Fuzzy rule-based edge detection using multiscale edge images is proposed. In this method, the edge image is obtained by fuzzy approximate reasoning from multiscale edge images which are obtained by derivative operators with various window sizes. The effect of utilizing multiscale edge images for edge detection is already known, but how to design the rules for deciding edges from multiscale edge...

Today, companies must consider sustainability in addition to their own primary requirements (e.g., cost saving) and to outside constraints (e.g., environmental protection). End-of-life (EOL) option has emerged as a critical factor in sustainability. However, determining EOL options at the product design stage is complicated. For example, designstage EOL options for retired bicycle components ar...

in this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. in other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. first, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (tfn). this paper com...

fuzzy time series have been developed during the last decade to improve the forecast accuracy. many algorithms have been applied in this approach of forecasting such as high order time invariant fuzzy time series. in this paper, we present a hybrid algorithm to deal with the forecasting problem based on time variant fuzzy time series and particle swarm optimization algorithm, as a highly effici...
