In this paper, we construct a hybrid intelligent controller based on a fusion scheme of GA(Genetic Algorithm) and FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) clustering-based ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System). In the structure identification, a set of fuzzy rules are generated for a given criterion by FCM clustering algorithm. In the parameter identification, premise parameters are optimally searched by adaptive GA. On the other hand, consequent parameters are estimated by RLSE(Recursive Least Square Estimate) to reduce the search space. Finally, we applied the proposed method to the truck backer-upper control and obtained a better performance than previous works.

In this paper, we propose fuzzy c-means (FCM) to solve recognition errors in invariant range image, multi-pose face recognition. Scale, center and pose error problems were solved using geometric transformation. Range image face data was digitized into range image data by using the laser range finder that does not depend on the ambient light source. Then, the digitized range image face data is used as a model to generate multi-pose data. Each pose data size was reduced by linear reduction into the database. The reduced range image face data was transformed to the gradient face model for facial feature image extraction and also for matching using the fuzzy membership adjusted by fuzzy c-means. The proposed method was tested using facial range images from 40 people with normal facial expressions. The output of the detection and recognition system has to be accurate to about 93 percent. Simultaneously, the system must be robust enough to overcome typical image-acquisition problems such as noise, vertical rotated face and range resolution.

In the area of clustering, there are numerous approaches to construct clusters in the input space. For regression problem, when forming clusters being a part of the overall model, the relationships between the input space and the output space are essential and have to be taken into consideration. Conditional Fuzzy C-Means (c-FCM) clustering offers an opportunity to analyze the structure in the input space with the mechanism of supervision implied by the distribution of data present in the output space. However, like other clustering methods, c-FCM focuses on the distribution of the data. In this paper, we introduce a new method, which by making use of the ambiguity index focuses on the boundaries of the clusters whose determination is essential to the quality of the ensuing classification procedures. The introduced design is illustrated with the aid of numeric examples that provide a detailed insight into the performance of the fuzzy classifiers and quantify several essentials design aspects.

As the ubiquitous technology has penetrated into almost every aspect of modern life, the research of the security technology to solve the weakness of security in the ubiquitous environment is received much attention. Because, however, today's security systems are usually based on the fixed rules, many security systems can not handle diverse situations in the ubiquitous environment appropriately. Although many existing researches on context aware security service are based on ACL (Access Control List) or RBAC (Role Based Access Control), they have an overhead in the management of security policy and can not manipulate unexpected situations. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a context-aware security service providing multiple authentications and authorization from a security level which is decided dynamically in a context-aware environment using FCM (Fuzzy C-Means) clustering algorithm and Fuzzy Decision Tree. We show proposed model can solve typical conflict problems of RBAC system due to the fixed rules and improve overhead problem in the security policy management. We expect to apply the proposed model to the various applications using contextual information of the user such as healthcare system, rescue systems, and so on.

Until now, there have been few studies analyzing the efficiency of the Port of Mokpo and comparing it with other seaports in the country to identify the future direction of development for the port. In this paper, we use the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model in combination with the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) to measure the efficiency and productivity of major ports in Korea, focusing on the Port of Mokpo. First, the study identifies which ports are efficient or inefficient based on technical or operational scale. Second, by using the MPI to overcome the shortfalls of the DEA model, the study can compare a port's performance across the years and evaluate the productivity of a port during the research period. Moreover, this study also applies fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering to classify port groups based on the size of their infrastructure and their efficiency scores. Finally, it is possible to find ways to enhance the efficiency and future direction of development of the Port of Mokpo.

Clustering is one of the most well-known unsupervised learning methods that clusters data into homogeneous groups. Clustering has been used in various applications and FCM is one of the representative methods. In Fuzzy C-Means(FCM), however, cluster centers tend leaning to high density areas because the Euclidean distance measure forces high density clusters to make more contribution to clustering result. Previously proposed was density-independent clustering method, where cluster centers were made not to be close each other and relived the center deviation problem. Density-independent clustering method has a limitation that it is difficult to specify the position of the cluster centers. In this paper, an enhanced density-independent clustering method with an additional term that makes cluster centers to be placed around dense region is proposed. The proposed method converges more to real centers compared to FCM and density-independent clustering, which can be verified with experimental results.

This paper proposes a new call admission control scheme utilizing an inverse fuzzy vector quantizer(IFVQ) and neuralnet, which combines benefits of IFVQ and flexibilities of FCM(Fuzzy-C-Means) arithmetics, to decide whether a requested call not to be trained in learning phase to be connected or not. The system generates the estimated traffic pattern for the cell stream of a new call, using feasible/infeasible patterns in codebook, fuzzy membership values that represent the degree to which each pattern of codebook matches input pattern, and FCM arithmetics. The input to the NN is the vector consisted of traffic parameters which are the means and variances of the number of cells arriving in decision as to whether to accept or reject a new call depends on whether the NN is used for decision threshold(+0.5). This method is a new technique for call admission control using the membership values as traffic parameter which declared to CAC at the call set up stage, and this is valid for a very general traffic model in which the calls of a stream can belong to an unlimited number of traffic classes. Through the simulations, it is founded the performance of the suggested method outperforms compared to the conventional NN method.

In this paper, we propose a hierarchical hybrid neural network for detecting faults of induction motor. Implementing the classifier based on the input and output data, we apply appropriate transform and classification method at each step. In the proposed method, after obtaining the current of state of motor for each period, we transform it by Principle Component Analysis(PCA) to reduce its dimension. Before the training process, we use the conditional Fuzzy C-means(FCM) for obtaining the initial parameters of neural network for more effective learning procedure. From the various simulations, we find that the proposed method shows better performance to detect and diagnosis of induction motor and compare than other methods.

In this study, we introduce a design of Fuzzy RBFNNs-based digit recognition system using the incremental-PCA in order to recognize the handwritten digits. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a widely-adopted dimensional reduction algorithm, but it needs high computing overhead for feature extraction in case of using high dimensional images or a large amount of training data. To alleviate such problem, the incremental-PCA is proposed for the computationally efficient processing as well as the incremental learning of high dimensional data in the feature extraction stage. The architecture of Fuzzy Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN) consists of three functional modules such as condition, conclusion, and inference part. In the condition part, the input space is partitioned with the use of fuzzy clustering realized by means of the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm. Also, it is used instead of gaussian function to consider the characteristic of input data. In the conclusion part, connection weights are used as the extended diverse types in polynomial expression such as constant, linear, quadratic and modified quadratic. Experimental results conducted on the benchmarking MNIST handwritten digit database demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed digit recognition system when compared with other studies.

정밀을 요하는 자동차 부품의 측정 시스템은 온도에 따른 보상이 필수적이다. 부품의 측정값의 신뢰도를 유지하기 위해서 단순히 제품의 합격 영역을 상온에서 51.786～51.819mm로 했을 때, 온도가 상온에서 떨어져 있는 경우 그 부품의 측정영역을 신뢰하기가 어려워진다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 2개의 카메라를 사용하여 한쪽은 표준 제품을 두고, 다른 쪽은 실제 제품을 두므로서 온도에 따라 달라지는 표준 제품의 측정값의 Offset를 실제 제품에 반영하므로 측정값을 보상하려고 하였다. 자동차의 부품은 여러 가지가 있으나, 이 중에서 현재 공장에서 측정에 어려움을 겪고 있는 에어콘 스윗치인 마그네트 코일 하우징을 대상으로 하였다. 특히 측정 대상이 크고, 카메라의 화소수가 40만 이하일 경우, 측정의 중요한 포인트는 화소수이기 때문에 이를 정확히 알아 내는데, FCM(Fuzzy C-means) 알고리듬이 좋은 결과를 주지만 속성 공간에서 유사성만을 고려하고, 공간영역에서 유사성을 고려되지 않기 때문에 FCM은 \"equal evidence\"와 \"ignorance\"를 구분하지 못한다. 이를 개선하기 위해서 FCM를 수정하여 먼저 FCM로 처리하고 하고 이를 바탕으로 PCM(Possibilistic C-means)를 사용하였다. 결과를 모니터에 보여주고, RSC-232 포트를 통하여 신호를 마이크로프로세서에 전달하여 제품의 양호(good), 불량(bad)을 판별하는 신호를 발생하게 하였다.을 판별하는 신호를 발생하게 하였다.
