This chapter is aimed at improving the local and global approximation and modelling capability of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model and the design of an optimal fuzzy controller. The main aim is obtaining high function approximation accuracy and fast convergence. The approach developed here can be considered as a generalized version of TS fuzzy identification method with optimized performance in ...

Min-implication fuzzy relation equations based on Booleantype implications can also be viewed as a way of implementing fuzzy associative memories with perfect recall. In this paper, fuzzy associative memories with perfect recall are constructed, and new on-line learning algorithms adapting the weights of its interconnections are incorporated into this neural network when the solution set of the...

The primary issue involved in image and signal processing is to efficiently remove noise from a digital color image while preserving its features. A fuzzy filter is presented for the reduction of additive noise for digital color images. The filter consists of two sub filters. The first sub filter computes fuzzy distances among the color components of the central pixel and its neighborhood. Thes...

Image denoising is one of the important image processing techniques to reduce noises from a corrupted image. This paper proposes a new efficient fuzzy based filter for the restoration of images that are corrupted with Gaussian noise in gray and color images. This filter is applied iteratively to reduce heavy noise in images. The proposed scheme is simulated using standard image of lena under di...

In this paper, a new multi-target tracking algorithm based on fuzzy logic for tracking in clutter is developed, it is called directional fuzzy data association (DFDA) filter. The new algorithm incorporates the directional information of the targets for data association with the Mahalanobis distance. Firstly, the directional information, called pseudo-direction, is defined; the method of how to ...

Image sharpening refers to any enhancement technique that highlights edges and fine details in an image. The conventional methods for sharpening the images has several drawbacks such as, complex and slow calculations, color loss, anisotropy effects etc. In this paper, a new fuzzy filter is proposed for sharpening the color images. The sharpening fuzzy filter consists of two sub-filters. The fir...

Image enhancement is a challenging issue in many applications. In the last two decades, there are various filters developed. This paper proposes a novel method which removes Gaussian noise from the gray scale images. The proposed technique is compared with Enhanced Fuzzy Peer Group Filter (EFPGF) for various noise levels. Experimental results proved that the proposed filter achieves better Peak...
