Interval-valued data can find their practical applications in such situations as recording monthlyinterval temperatures at meteorological stations, daily interval stock prices, etc. The primary objectiveof the presented paper is to compare three different methods of fuzzy clustering for interval-valuedsymbolic data, i.e.: fuzzy c-means clustering, adaptive fuzzy c-means clustering a...

This paper is a survey of fuzzy set theory applied in cluster analysis. These fuzzy clustering algorithms have been widely studied and applied in a variety of substantive areas. They also become the major techniques in cluster analysis. In this paper, we give a survey of fuzzy clustering in three categories. The first category is the fuzzy clustering based on fuzzy relation. The second one is t...

Execution of unknown or malicious software on an embedded system may trigger harmful system behaviour targeted at stealing sensitive data and/or causing damage to the system. It is thus considered a potential and significant threat to the security of embedded systems. Generally, the resource constrained nature of Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) embedded devices, such as embedded medical equipme...

With the development of acquisition image techniques, more data coming from different sources of image become available. Multi-modality image fusion seeks to combine information from different images to obtain more inferences than can be derived from a single modality. The main aim of this work is to improve cerebral IRM real images segmentation by fusion of modalities (T1, T2 and DP) using Fuz...

Medical image preprocessing and segmentation are very important in medical area. This paper deal with the implementation of simple algorithm for detection of skin cancer also and infected area. Skin cancer are the most common cancer in human. Skin cancer are curable cancer after early detection. In hospital doctor used a biopsy (a laboratory medical procedure). There are many different type of ...

This paper presents a relevance vector regression (RVR) based parametric approach to the bias field estimation in brain magnetic resonance (MR) image segmentation. Segmentation is a very important and challenging task in brain analysis, while the bias field existed in the images can significantly deteriorate the performance. Most of current parametric bias field correction techniques use a pre-...
