In this paper, we propose the fuzzy neural networks based on fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm. Typically, the generation of fuzzy rules have the problem that the number of fuzzy rules exponentially increases when the dimension increases. To solve this problem, the fuzzy rules of the proposed networks are generated by partitioning the input space in the scatter form using FCM clustering algorithm. The premise parameters of the fuzzy rules are determined by membership matrix by means of FCM clustering algorithm. The consequence part of the rules is expressed in the form of polynomial functions and the learning of fuzzy neural networks is realized by adjusting connections of the neurons, and it follows a back-propagation algorithm. The proposed networks are evaluated through the application to nonlinear process.

In this paper, we have designed and implemented cluttering classification systems- unsupervised classifiers-for the processing of satellite remote sensing images. Implemented systems adopt various design patterns which include a factory pattern and a strategy pattern to support various satellite images'formats and to design compatible systems. The clustering systems consist of sequential clustering, K-Means clustering, ISODATA clustering and Fuzzy C-Means clustering classifiers. The systems are tested by using a Landsat TM satellite image for the classification input. As results, these clustering systems are well designed to extract sample data for the classification of satellite images of which there is no previous knowledge. The systems can be provided with real-time base clustering tools, compatibilities and components' reusabilities as well.

The FCM algorithm finds the optimal solution through iterative optimization technique. In particular, there is a difference in execution time depending on the initial center of clustering, the location of noise, the location and number of crowded densities. However, this method gradually updates the center point, and the center of the initial cluster is shifted to one side. In this paper, we propose a TI-FCM(Triangular Inequality-Fuzzy C-Means) clustering algorithm that determines the cluster center density by maximizing the distance between clusters using triangular inequality. The proposed method is an effective method to converge to real clusters compared to FCM even in large data sets. Experiments show that execution time is reduced compared to existing FCM.

Fuzzy Kernel C-Means(FKCM) 알고리즘은 커널 함수를 통하여 구형의 데이터뿐만 아니라 Fuzzy C-Means(FCM)에서는 분류하기 힘든 복잡한 형태의 분포를 갖는 데이터를 분류할 수 있다. 하지만 FCM과 같이 노이즈에 대해서는 민감한 성질을 가진다 이처럼 노이즈(noise)에 민감한 성질을 보완하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 Possibllistic C-Means 알고리즘에 커널 함수를 적용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 Kernel Possibilistic C-Means(KPCM) 알고리즘은 일반적인 데이터에 대해 FKCM과 같은 성능의 클러스터링 수행이 가능하며 노이즈가 있는 데이터에 대해서는 FKCM보다 더욱 정확한 클러스터링을 수행할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a TSK-type fuzzy classifier using PCA(Principal Component Analysis), FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) clustering and hybrid GA(genetic algorithm). First, input data is transformed to reduce correlation among the data components by PCA. FCM clustering is applied to obtain a initial TSK-type fuzzy classifier. Parameter identification is performed by AGA(Adaptive Genetic Algorithm) and RLSE(Recursive Least Square Estimate). we applied the proposed method to Iris data classification problems and obtained a better performance than previous works.

The paper concerns Fuzzy C-Means clustering based fuzzy neural networks (FCM-FNN) and the optimization of the network is carried out by means of hierarchal fair competition-based parallel genetic algorithm (HFCPGA). FCM-FNN is the extended architecture of Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN). FCM algorithm is used to determine centers and widths of RBFs. In the proposed network, the membership functions of the premise part of fuzzy rules do not assume any explicit functional forms such as Gaussian, ellipsoidal, triangular, etc., so its resulting fitness values directly rely on the computation of the relevant distance between data points by means of FCM. Also, as the consequent part of fuzzy rules extracted by the FCM-FNN model, the order of four types of polynomials can be considered such as constant, linear, quadratic and modified quadratic. Since the performance of FCM-FNN is affected by some parameters of FCM-FNN such as a specific subset of input variables, fuzzification coefficient of FCM, the number of rules and the order of polynomials of consequent part of fuzzy rule, we need the structural as well as parametric optimization of the network. In this study, the HFCPGA which is a kind of multipopulation-based parallel genetic algorithms(PGA) is exploited to carry out the structural optimization of FCM-FNN. Moreover the HFCPGA is taken into consideration to avoid a premature convergence related to the optimization problems. The proposed model is demonstrated with the use of two representative numerical examples.

본 논문에서는 초음파 영상에서 퍼지 C-Means 클러스터링을 이용한 양자화 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 초음파 영상에서 나타난 명암도를 이용하여 n개의 그룹으로 클러스터링한다. 그리고 각 클러스터의 중심 값을 기준으로 정렬한 뒤, 각 그룹에 지정된 색상을 요부 초음파 영상에서 나타낸다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법을 적용한 요부 초음파 영상과 일반적으로 자주 이용되는 히스토그램 기반 양자화 기법을 적용한 요부 초음파 영상을 비교하였을 때, 본 논문에서 제안하는 퍼지 C-Means 클러스터링을 이용한 양자화를 적용한 영상이 근육 내의 지방을 분석하는데 효과적인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Fire monitoring system detects a fire based on the values of various sensors, such as smoke, CO, temperature, or change of temperature. It detects a fire by comparing sensed values with predefined threshold values for each sensor. However, to prevent a fire it is required to predict a situation which has a possibility of fire occurrence. In this work, we propose a fire recognition system using a fuzzy inference method. The rule base is constructed as a combination of fuzzy variables derived from various sensed values. In addition, in order to solve generalization and formalization problems of rule base construction from expert knowledge, we analyze features of fire patterns. The constructed rule base results in an improvement of the recognition accuracy. A fire possibility is predicted as one of 3 levels(normal, caution, danger). The training data of each level is converted to fuzzy rules by FCM(fuzzy C-means clustering) and those rules are used in the inference engine. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated by using forest fire data from the UCI repository.

This paper presents hybrid classification method to improve the performance of satellite images classification by combining Bayesian maximum likelihood classifier, ISODATA clustering and fuzzy C-Means algorithm. In this paper, the training data of each class were generated by separating the spectral signature using ISODATA clustering. We can classify according to pixel's membership grade followed by cluster center of fuzzy C-Means algorithm as the mean value of training data for each class. Bayesian maximum likelihood classifier is performed with prior probability by result of fuzzy C-Means classification. The results shows that proposed method could improve performance of classification method and also perform classification with no concern about spectral signature of the training data. The proposed method Is applied to a Landsat TM satellite image for the verifying test.

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.
