Digital Signal Processing Based on Fuzzy Rules

A novel digital signal processing technique based on fuzzy rules is proposed for estimating nonstationary signals, such as image signals, contaminated with additive random noises. In this filter, fuzzy rules are utilized to set the filter parameters, taking the local characteristics of the signal into consideration. The introduction of the fuzzy rules is effective, since the rules to set the filter parameters is usually expressed ambiguously. Computer simulations verify its high performance.
