This paper describes an application of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) for multi-modal fusion of features in a 3D face recognition system. A decision making process is outlined that is based on the performance of multi-modal features in a face recognition task involving a set of 3D face databases. In particular, the fuzzy interval valued MCDM technique called TOPSIS is applied for ranking...

extended abstract 1. introduction high traffic volume is one of the most common problems of urban transportation in metropolises. the increase in the number of vehicles in case of not having necessary predictions also enhances the demand for fueling in places where mostly are unable to respond to such needs. site selection of public facilities is an instance of policies of local governments wit...

A wide range of classification models have been explored for financial risk prediction, but conclusions on which technique behaves better may vary when different performance evaluation measures are employed. Accordingly, this paper proposes the use of multiple criteria decision making tools in order to give a ranking of algorithms. More specifically, the selection of the most appropriate credit...

in last decades, the skillful planning of land resources has become a major issue for rural development. the development of cultivated areas becomes gradually impossible due to ever increasing population growth and urban development. fuzzy logic is preferred to boolean logic for land evaluation, because fuzzy techniques lead to estimate for land use suitability on a continuous scale and can the...

one of important problems in supply chains management is supplier selection. in a company, there are massive data from various departments so that extracting knowledge from the company’s data is too complicated. many researchers have solved this problem by some methods like fuzzy set theory, goal programming, multi objective programming, the liner programming, mixed integer programming, analyti...

nowadays the quality of life is one of the factors that have special standing in the context of urban planning studies. this factor became significant due to the increasing importance of quality of life in the monitoring of public policy and its role as an efficient tool in the management and planning. urban life quality is usually measured through the surveying and evaluation of subjective per...

extended abstract introduction the widespread and great inequalities in income generation, commonwealth, job opportunities and developmental facilities between urban and rural areas, have leaded the rural population towards the decline and in some instances the rural exodus. additionally, the rural poverty and deprivation has also caused major urban crisis, due to the vast rural migration and ...

the use of value engineering (ve) methodology in construction industry has grown significantly, mainly in view of its extensive benefits. the main task in evaluation phase of ve workshop is to assess alternative ideas, proposed for each function. this phase of ve, hence, could be deemed as a multi criteria decision making (mcdm) problem. this paper presents a fuzzy decision support system (dss)...

making an informed decision with regards to a suitable business location or site selection for organizations is becoming challenging for business decision makers globally; and even more challenging in business environment that are saddled with uncertainties. the continues raise of multiple criteria variation of site preferences has also necessitated the application of advanced decision making t...

This paper presents a hybrid fuzzy multi criteria decision making model for z-numbers using intuitive vectorial centroid. There are two novelty discuss here: 1) development of intuitive vectorial centroid defuzzification and; 2) development of hybrid fuzzy multi criteria decision making model based on consistent fuzzy preference relations and fuzzy technique for order performance by similarity ...
