This paper proposes methods to classify scanned insect footprints. We propose improved SOM and ART2 algorithms for extracting segments, basic areas for feature extraction, and utilize Trace transform and fuzzy weighted mean methods for extracting feature values for classification of the footprints. In the proposed method, regions are extracted by a morphological method in the beginning, and then improved SOM and ART2 algorithms are utilized to extract segments regardless of kinds of insects. Next, A Trace transform method is used to find feature values suitable for various kinds of deformation of insect footprints. In the Trace transform method, Triple features from reconstructed combination of diverse functions, are used to classify the footprints. In general, it is very difficult to decide automatically whether the extracted footprint segment is meaningful for classification or not. So we use a fuzzy weighted mean method for not excluding uncertain footprint segments because the uncertain footprint segments may be possible candidates for classification. We present experimental results of footprint segment extraction and segment classification by the proposed methods.

Asbestos is a toxic material that can lead to lung cancer and other diseases. There is no information regarding areas in Korea that contain asbestos in nature; consequently we need to manage such areas with care. The purpose of this study was to construct a local graded map of asbestos exposure risk based on the natural occurrence of asbestos in rocks. We first developed a means of evaluating the asbestos exposure risk and produced thematic maps based on a field survey. In addition, we constructed a knowledge base for asbestos through analysis, representation and processes about asbestos data and prepare for the development of an evaluation model for asbestos exposure risk. The spatial analysis of asbestos exposure risk is based on a weighted-overlay analysis using expert opinion and the literature, and a fuzzy-overlay analysis using the uncertainty in the data. The map of asbestos exposure risk, compiled according to the weighted and fuzzy operations, is expected to be used to ensure safety and to reduce the risk of exposure to asbestos.

The purpose of this study using Fuzzy AHP technique as a decision support system is to propose a structured and available decision making process for location selection of large-scale discount stores. The procedure of this study is divided into two parts to estimate the relative weights of evaluation criteria and analyze the sites of some large discount stores. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; First, compared with the other criteria, the population of primary trade area has the most weight, and moreover, there are the number of rival businesses, dimensions of roads, total population, lot size, purchase cost in order of size. Lastly, the sites of six stores are evaluated relatively, then the optimal location is selected, which proves the applicability for decision making process this study suggests.

The aim of this paper is to extend the TOPSIS(Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) to the fuzzy environment for solving the disaster recovery priority decision problem in credit bureau business information system. In this paper, the rating of each information systems and the weight of each criterion are described by linguistic terms which can be expressed in trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Then, a vertex method is proposed to calculate the distance between two trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. According to the concept of the TOPSIS, a closeness coefficient is defined to determine the ranking order of all information systems. The combination between the fuzzy set and TOPSIS brings several benefits when compared with other approaches, such that the fuzzy TOPSIS require few fuzzy judgements to parameterization, which contributes to the agility of the decision process, it does not limit the number of alternatives simultaneously evaluated, and it does not cause the ranking reversal problem when a new alternative is included in the evaluation process. This paper is demonstrated with a real case study of a credit rating agency involving 9 evaluation criteria and 9 credit bureau business information systems assessed by 6 evaluators, and provide the systematic disaster recovery framework for BCP(Business Continuity Planning) to practitioner. Finally, this paper show that the procedure of the proposed fuzzy TOPSIS method is well suited as a decision-making tool for the disaster recovery priority decision problem in credit bureau business information system.

Tracked robots usually have poor localization performance because of slippage of their tracks. This study proposes a new localization method for tracked robots that uses fuzzy fusion of stereo-camera-based visual odometry and encoder-based wheel odometry. Visual odometry can be inaccurate when an insufficient number of visual features are available, while the encoder is prone to accumulating errors when large slips occur. To combine these two methods, the weight of each method was controlled by a fuzzy decision depending on the surrounding environment. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme improved the localization performance of a tracked robot.

This paper proposes a call admission control(CAC) method for wireless networks, which is based on the upper bound of a possibility distribution of handoff calls dropping rates. The possibility distribution is estimated in a fuzzy inference and a learning algorithm in neural network. The learning algorithm is considered for tuning the membership functions(then parts)of fuzzy rules for the inference. The fuzzy inference method is based on a weighted average of fuzzy sets. The proposed method can avoid estimating excessively large handoff calls dropping rates, and makes possibile self-compensation in real time for the case where the estimated values are smaller than real values. So this method makes secure CAC, thereby guaranteeing the allowed CDR. From simulation studies we show that the estimation performance for the upper bound of call dropping rate is good, and then handoff call dropping rates in CAC are able to be sustained below user's desired value.

Generally, real system that is the object of decision-making is very variable and sometimes it lies situations with uncertainty. To solve these problem, it has used statistical methods as significance level, certainty factor, sensitivity analysis and so on. In this paper, we propose a method for fuzzy decision-making based on MFAC(Multiple Fuzzy Alpha Cut) to improve the definiteness of classification results with similarity evaluation. In the proposed method, MFAC is used for extracting multiple a ${\alpha}$-level with proximity degree at proximity relation between relative Hamming distance and max-min method and for minimizing the number of data which are associated with the partition intervals extracted by MFAC. To determine final alternative of decision-making, we compute the weighted value between extracted data by MFAC From the experimental results, we can see the fact that the proposed method is simpler and more definite than classification performance of the conventional methods and determines an alternative efficiently for decision-maker by testing significance of sample data through statistical method.

With the development of IoT technology, various digital equipment is being spread, and accordingly, the importance of data processing is increasing. The importance of data processing is increasing as it greatly affects the reliability of equipment, and various studies are being conducted. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to remove AWGN according to the characteristics of the fuzzy membership function. The proposed algorithm calculates the estimated value according to the correlation between the value of the fuzzy membership function between the input image and the pixel value inside the filtering mask, and obtains the final output by adding or subtracting the output of the spatial weight filter. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, it was simulated with existing AWGN removal algorithms, and analyzed using difference image and PSNR comparison. The proposed algorithm minimizes the effect of noise, preserves the important characteristics of the image, and shows the performance of efficiently removing noise.
