This study suggested a new similarity measured method that based on the map distance operator to solve before similarity measurement between interval-valued fuzzy numbers. In addition, some properties of the proposed similarity measure have been demonstrated, and 19 sets of interval-valued fuzzy numbers are adopted to compare the proposed method with existing similarity measures. The results of...

This paper presents an iterative Content Based Image Retrival(CBIR) system with Relevance Feedback (RF), in which M-band wavelet features are used as representation of images. The pixels are clustered using Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm to obtain an image signature and Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) is used as a distance measure. Fuzzy entropy based feature evaluation mechanism is used...

The primary issue involved in image and signal processing is to efficiently remove noise from a digital color image while preserving its features. A fuzzy filter is presented for the reduction of additive noise for digital color images. The filter consists of two sub filters. The first sub filter computes fuzzy distances among the color components of the central pixel and its neighborhood. Thes...

Folding Applying a set of inverse symmetry operations on a set of points. This procedure is one of the main steps in the folding unfolding method for evaluating the CSM of a set of points. Folding unfolding method A visual and computational procedure for evaluating the CSM of a set of points. Fuzzy subset A set whose elements have a range of values corresponding to the degree of membership in t...

The risk response development is one of the main phases in the project risk management that has major impacts on a large-scale project’s success. Since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. Conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the imprecise of the risk response deve...

As an emerging area considering behavioral aspects of decision making, target-oriented decision model lies in the philosophical root of bounded rationality as well as represents the S-shaped value function. This paper deals with multi-attribute decision analysis from target-oriented viewpoint. First, the basic (random) target-oriented decision model is extended to involve three types of target ...

In this paper, we proposed a new interval-valued approximation of interval-valued fuzzy numbers, which is the best one with respect to a certain measure of distance between interval-valued fuzzy numbers. Also, a set of criteria for interval-valued approximation operators is suggested.

Fuzzy measures are suitable in analyzing human subjective evaluation processes. Several different strategies have been proposed for distance of fuzzy numbers. The distances introduced for fuzzy numbers can be categorized in two groups:\1. The crisp distances which explain crisp values for the distance between two fuzzy numbers.\2. The fuzzy distance which introduce a fuzzy distance for normal f...
