Fifty Years of Fuzzy Logic and its Applications
Author: Dan E. Tamir
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319196839
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 679
Book Description
This book presents a comprehensive report on the evolution of Fuzzy Logic since its formulation in Lotfi Zadeh’s seminal paper on “fuzzy sets,” published in 1965. In addition, it features a stimulating sampling from the broad field of research and development inspired by Zadeh’s paper. The chapters, written by pioneers and prominent scholars in the field, show how fuzzy sets have been successfully applied to artificial intelligence, control theory, inference, and reasoning. The book also reports on theoretical issues; features recent applications of Fuzzy Logic in the fields of neural networks, clustering, data mining and software testing; and highlights an important paradigm shift caused by Fuzzy Logic in the area of uncertainty management. Conceived by the editors as an academic celebration of the fifty years’ anniversary of the 1965 paper, this work is a must-have for students and researchers willing to get an inspiring picture of the potentialities, limitations, achievements and accomplishments of Fuzzy Logic-based systems.

Fuzzy Logic-Based Algorithms for Video De-Interlacing
Author: Piedad Brox
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642106943
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
The ‘Fuzzy Logic’ research group of the Microelectronics Institute of Seville is composed of researchers who have been doing research on fuzzy logic since the beginning of the 1990s. Mainly, this research has been focused on the microel- tronic design of fuzzy logic-based systems using implementation techniques which range from ASICs to FPGAs and DSPs. Another active line was the development of a CAD environment, named Xfuzzy, to ease such design. Several versions of Xfuzzy have been and are being currently developed by the group. The addressed applications had basically belonged to the control ?eld domain. In this sense, s- eral problems without a linear control solution had been studied thoroughly. Some examples are the navigation control of an autonomous mobile robot and the level control of a dosage system. The research group tackles a new activity with the work developed in this book: the application of fuzzy logic to video and image processing. We addressed our interest to problems related to pixel interpolation, with the aim of adapting such interpolation to the local features of the images. Our hypothesis was that measures and decisions to solve image interpolation, which traditionally had been done in a crisp way, could better be done in a fuzzy way. Validation of this general hypothesis has been done speci?cally in the interpolation problem of video de-interlacing. - interlacing is one of the main tasks in video processing.

Book Description
The Industrial Electronics Handbook, Second Edition combines traditional and newer, more specialized knowledge that will help industrial electronics engineers develop practical solutions for the design and implementation of high-power applications. Embracing the broad technological scope of the field, this collection explores fundamental areas, including analog and digital circuits, electronics, electromagnetic machines, signal processing, and industrial control and communications systems. It also facilitates the use of intelligent systems—such as neural networks, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary methods—in terms of a hierarchical structure that makes factory control and supervision more efficient by addressing the needs of all production components. Enhancing its value, this fully updated collection presents research and global trends as published in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics Journal, one of the largest and most respected publications in the field. As intelligent systems continue to replace and sometimes outperform human intelligence in decision-making processes, they have made substantial contributions to the solution of very complex problems. As a result, the field of computational intelligence has branched out in several directions. For instance, artificial neural networks can learn how to classify patterns, such as images or sequences of events, and effectively model complex nonlinear systems. Simple and easy to implement, fuzzy systems can be applied to successful modeling and system control. Illustrating how these and other tools help engineers model nonlinear system behavior, determine and evaluate system parameters, and ensure overall system control, Intelligent Systems: Addresses various aspects of neural networks and fuzzy systems Focuses on system optimization, covering new techniques such as evolutionary methods, swarm, and ant colony optimizations Discusses several applications that deal with methods of computational intelligence Other volumes in the set: Fundamentals of Industrial Electronics Power Electronics and Motor Drives Control and Mechatronics Industrial Communication Systems

Modeling Uncertainty with Fuzzy Logic
Author: Asli Celikyilmaz
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540899243
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
The world we live in is pervaded with uncertainty and imprecision. Is it likely to rain this afternoon? Should I take an umbrella with me? Will I be able to find parking near the campus? Should I go by bus? Such simple questions are a c- mon occurrence in our daily lives. Less simple examples: What is the probability that the price of oil will rise sharply in the near future? Should I buy Chevron stock? What are the chances that a bailout of GM, Ford and Chrysler will not s- ceed? What will be the consequences? Note that the examples in question involve both uncertainty and imprecision. In the real world, this is the norm rather than exception. There is a deep-seated tradition in science of employing probability theory, and only probability theory, to deal with uncertainty and imprecision. The mon- oly of probability theory came to an end when fuzzy logic made its debut. H- ever, this is by no means a widely accepted view. The belief persists, especially within the probability community, that probability theory is all that is needed to deal with uncertainty. To quote a prominent Bayesian, Professor Dennis Lindley, “The only satisfactory description of uncertainty is probability.

Analytical Methods in Fuzzy Modeling and Control
Author: Jacek Kluska
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 354089926X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This book is focused on mathematical analysis and rigorous design methods for fuzzy control systems based on Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models, sometimes called Takagi-Sugeno-Kang models. The author presents a rather general analytical theory of exact fuzzy modeling and control of continuous and discrete-time dynamical systems. Main attention is paid to usability of the results for the control and computer engineering community and therefore simple and easy knowledge-bases for linguistic interpretation have been used. The approach is based on the author’s theorems concerning equivalence between widely used Takagi-Sugeno systems and some class of multivariate polynomials. It combines the advantages of fuzzy system theory and classical control theory. Classical control theory can be applied to modeling of dynamical plants and the controllers. They are all equivalent to the set of Takagi-Sugeno type fuzzy rules. The approach combines the best of fuzzy and conventional control theory. It enables linguistic interpretability (also called transparency) of both the plant model and the controller. In the case of linear systems and some class of nonlinear systems, engineers can in many cases directly apply well-known classical tools from the control theory both for analysis, and the design of closed-loop fuzzy control systems. Therefore the main objective of the book is to establish comprehensive and unified analytical foundations for fuzzy modeling using the Takagi-Sugeno rule scheme and their applications for fuzzy control, identification of some class of nonlinear dynamical processes and classification problem solver design.
