An image segmentation technique based on maximum fuzzy entropy is applied for Magnetic Resonance (MR) brain images to detect a brain tumor is presented in this paper. The proposed method performs image segmentation based on adaptive thresholding of the input MR brain images. The MR brain image is classified into two Membership Function (MF), whose MFs of the fuzzy region are Z-function and S-fu...

Fuzzy extractors (Dodis et al., Eurocrypt 2004) convert repeated noisy readings of a high-entropy secret into the same uniformly distributed key. To eliminate noise, they require an initial enrollment phase that takes the first noisy reading of the secret and produces a nonsecret helper string to be used in subsequent readings. This helper string reduces the entropy of the original secret—in th...

Multicriteria decision making (MCDM) is one of the methods that popularly has been used in solving personnel selection problem. Alternatives, criteria, and weights are some of the fundamental aspects in MCDM that need to be defined clearly in order to achieve a good result. Apart from these aspects, fuzzy data has to take into consideration that it may arise from unobtainable and incomplete inf...

considering the contemporary business settings, managers’ role is more than essential to the viability and further development of an organization. managers should possess such skills in order to effectively cope with the competition. multiple attributes decision making (madm) is an approach employed to solve problems involving selection from among a finite number of alternatives. the aim of thi...

This article investigates a novel automatic microcalcification detection method using a type II fuzzy index. The thresholding is performed using the Tsallis entropy characterized by another parameter ‘q’, which depends on the non-extensiveness of a mammogram. In previous studies, ‘q’ was calculated using the histogram distribution, which can lead to erroneous results when pectoral muscles are i...

Image thresholding plays very important role in many computer vision and image processing applications. Segmentation based on gray level histogram thresholding consists of a method that divides an image into two regions of interest; object and background. In image processing, we deal with many ambiguous situations. Fuzzy set theory is a useful mathematical tool for handling the ambiguity or unc...

In the literature of fuzzy measures, there exist many well known parametric and non-parametric measures, each with its own merits and limitations. But our main emphasis is on applications of these measures to a variety of disciplines. To extend the scope of applications of these fuzzy measures to geometry, we need some special fuzzy measures. In this communication, we have introduced two new fu...

The information-theoretical entropy is an effective measure of uncertainty connected with an information source. Its transfer from the classical probabilistic information theory models to the fuzzy set theoretical environment is desirable and significant attempts were realized in the existing literature. Nevertheless, there are some open topics for analysis in the suggested models of fuzzy entr...

In this paper, new similarity, inclusion measure and entropy between type-2 fuzzy sets corresponding to grades of memberships are proposed. We also create the relationships among these measures between type-2 fuzzy sets. Several examples are used to present the calculation of these similarity, inclusion measure and entropy between type-2 fuzzy sets. The comparison results show that the proposed...
