This paper proposes a weighted fuzzy mean filter based on cloud model and reports its performance in removing the impulsive noise from the digital image. In addition, the performance of the proposed weighted fuzzy mean filter is compared with already existing variants of median and switching filters using root mean square error, peak signal to noise ratio and quality index. Even though the imag...

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...

This paper is concerned with the fault detection (FD) problem for Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems with unknown membership functions. If the membership functions are unknown, the linear FD filter designs with fixed gains have been considered in the literature. To reduce the conservatism of the existing results, a switching mechanism that depends on the lower and upper bounds of the unknown mem...

Power quality problem is t he most sensitive problem in the power system. The objective of the project is to reduce one of the power quality issue called “harmonics” using compensation technique. Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) is used to eliminate harmonic current and also it compensates reactive power. In this project, both PI controller and Fuzzy Logic Controller based three-phase shunt act...
