in this study, an image backlight compensation method using adaptive luminance modification is proposed for efficiently obtaining clear images.the proposed method combines the fuzzy c-means clustering method, a recurrent functional neural fuzzy network (rfnfn), and a modified differential evolution.the proposed rfnfn is based on the two backlight factors that can accurately detect the compensat...

Recently Kernelized Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique where a kernel-induced distance function is used as a similarity measure instead of a Euclidean distance which is used in the conventional Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique, has earned popularity among research community. Like the conventional Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique this technique also suffers from inconsistency in its performa...

Image segmentation is a process by which an image is partitioned into regions with similar features. Many approaches have been proposed for color image segmentation, but Fuzzy C-Means has been widely used, because it has a good performance in a large class of images. However, it is not adequate for noisy images and it also takes more time for execution as compared to other method as K-means. Fo...

Many papers exist on ordinary fuzzy control charts in literature in order to consider the vagueness and uncertainty in observation data. These are on both variable and attribute control charts. Several extensions of fuzzy sets have appeared in literature since ordinary fuzzy sets emerged. Type-2 fuzzy sets are one of these extensions. Type-2 fuzzy sets take into account the imprecision of membe...

Fuzzy clustering has been widely used for analysis of gene expression microarray data. However, most fuzzy clustering algorithms require complete datasets and, because of technical limitations, most microarray datasets have missing values. To address this problem, we present a new algorithm where genes are clustered using the Fuzzy C-Means algorithm (FCM). The fuzzy partition obtained is then u...

Image segmentation is one of the most common steps in digital image processing. The area many image segmentation algorithms (e.g., thresholding, edge detection, and region growing) employed for classifying a digital image into different segments. In this connection, finding a suitable algorithm for medical image segmentation is a challenging task due to mainly the noise, low contrast, and steep...

In this paper, a different approach to extract the threshold value β of Variable Precision Rough Set (VPRS) applied to continuous information systems is presented. This study combines the Fuzzy Set and Rough Fuzzy Set (RFS) theories to determine the β value of VPRS. The β value was determined by the Fuzzy C-means and relevant Fuzzy theories, for the reason that errors of system classification c...

The size of everyday data sets is outpacing the capability of computational hardware to analyze these data sets. Social networking and mobile computing alone are producing data sets that are growing by terabytes every day. Because these data often cannot be loaded into a computer’s working memory, most literal algorithms (algorithms that require access to the full data set) cannot be used. One ...
