TIn this paper, we propose a novel fuzzy stretching method that adopts a triangle type fuzzy membership function to control the highest and lowest brightness limit dynamically. As an essential procedure to enhance the brightness contrast, stretching is an important procedure in color image processing. While popular Ends-in Search stretching method should be provided fixed minimum and maximum brightness threshold from experience, our proposed method determines them dynamically by fuzzy membership functions. The minimum and maximum limit is determined by computing the lowest and highest pixel value according to the membership degree of our designed triangle type membership function. The experiment shows that the proposed method result in far less skewed histogram than those of Ends-in Search stretching thus successfully verifies its effectiveness.

In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy membership function for FSVM(Fuzzy Support Vector Machines). We apply a fuzzy membership to each input point of SVM and reformulate SVM into fuzzy SVM (FSVM) such that different input points can make different contributions to the learning of decision surface. The proposed method enhances the SVM in reducing the effect of outliers and noises in data points. This paper compares classification and estimated performance of SVM, FSVM(1), and FSVM(2) model that are getting into the spotlight in time series prediction.

In this paper, for fuzzy control of linear servo system using the moving coil type linear DC motor, we propose a new fuzzy control method using parameter tuning for membership functions. A proposed fuzzy control method tunes parameters of membership function to have an appropriate control input signal for system when error exceeds predefined value and makes an inference using conventional fuzzy control rules when error reduces to a predefined value. To verify usefulness of a proposed fuzzy control method, making simulation and experiment, we compare with characteristics for conventional fuzzy control method.

Various digital devices were supplied throughout the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Accordingly, the importance of data processing has increased. Data processing significantly affects equipment reliability. Thus, the importance of data processing has increased, and various studies have been conducted on this topic. This study proposes a modified Gaussian filter algorithm based on a fuzzy membership function. The proposed algorithm calculates the Gaussian filter weight considering the standard deviation of the filtering mask and computes an estimate according to the fuzzy membership function. The final output is calculated by adding or subtracting the Gaussian filter output and estimate. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, simulations were conducted using existing additive white Gaussian noise removal algorithms. The proposed algorithm was then analyzed by comparing the peak signal-to-noise ratio and differential image. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has superior noise reduction performance and improved performance compared to the existing method.

This paper shows the application of fuzzy set and nonlinear membership function to linear programming problems in a fuzzy environment. In contrast to typical linear programming problems, the objectives and constraints of the problem in a fuzzy environment are defined imprecisely. This paper describes that fuzzy linear programming models can be formulated using the basic concepts of membership functions and fuzzy sets, and that they can be solved by quadratic programming methods. In a numerical example, a linear programming problem with two constraints and two decision variables is provided to illustrate the solution procedure.

Fuzzy regression, a nonparametric method, can be quite useful in estimating the relationships among variables where the available data are very limited and imprecise. It can also serve as a sound methodology that can be applied to a variety of management and engineering problems where variables are interacting in an uncertain, qualitative, and fuzzy way. A close examination of the fuzzy regression algorithm reveals that the resulting possibility distribution of fuzzy parameters, which makes this technique attractive in a fuzzy environment, is dependent upon an h parameter value. The h value, which is between 0 and 1, is referred to as the degree of fit of the estimated fuzzy linear model to the given data, and is subjectively selected by a decision maker (DM) as an input to the model. The selection of a proper value of h is important in fuzzy regression, because it determines the range of the posibility ditributions of the fuzzy parameters. In this paper, we discuss the interdependent relationship among the h value, membership function shape, and the spreads of fuzzy parameters in fuzzy linear regression with fuzzy input-output using shape-preserving operations.

In order to apply fuzzy logic, two major tasks need to be performed: the derivation of fuzzy rules and the determination of membership functions. These tasks are often difficult and time-consuming. This paper presents an algorithmic method for generating membership functions and fuzzy rules applicable to decision-making problems; the method includes an entropy minimization for clustering analog samples. Membership functions are derived by partitioning the variables into desired number of fuzzy terms, and fuzzy rules are obtained using minimum entropy clustering. In the mle derivation process, rule weights are also calculated. Inference and defuzzification for classification problems are also discussed.

In this paper, a novel speed control system that implements the fuzzy logic controller(FLC) is proposed. Fuzzy controller is shown more excellent efficency than a conventional controllers in the strength aspect and non-linear controller using IF-THEN rule which can control without process the accurate mathematical modeling about induction motor. But we cannot expect that conventional fuzzy controller divide equally the space of input and output parameter and use the certain shape of triangle membership function. Therefore to develop the efficiency of conventional fuzzy controller, We need to scale the range of membership functions. In this study, proposed fuzzy controller has the ability controlling scale of membership functions using by output scaling factor.
