The basic limitations of the current appearance-based matching methods using eigenimages are non-robust estimation of coeecients and inability to cope with problems related to occlusions and segmentation. In this paper we present a new approach which successfully solves these problems. The major novelty of our approach lies in the way how the coeecients of the eigenimages are determined. Instea...

Since the discovery of fuzzy sets, the arithmetic operations of fuzzy numbers (Zadeh [7, 8]) which may be viewed as a generalization of interval arithmetic (Moore [5]) have emerged as an important area of research within the theory of fuzzy sets (Mizumoto and Tanaka [4], Dubois and Prade [2]). The arithmetic operations of fuzzy numbers have been performed either by extension principle [7, 8] or...

In this work, by Zadeh’s extension principle, we extend representable uninorms and their fuzzy implications (coimplications) to type-2 fuzzy sets. Emphatically, we investigate in which algebras of fuzzy truth values the extended operations are type-2 uninorms and type-2 fuzzy implications (coimplications), respectively.

This paper presents a thresholding approach by performing fuzzy partition on a two-dimensional (2-D) histogram based on fuzzy relation and maximum fuzzy entropy principle. The experiments with various gray level and color images have demonstrated that the proposed approach outperforms the 2-D nonfuzzy approach and the one dimensional (1-D) fuzzy partition approach.

The main purpose of this study is to discuss the uniform boundednessprinciple in fuzzifying topological linear spaces. At first theconcepts of uniformly boundedness principle and fuzzy equicontinuousfamily of linear operators are proposed, then the relations betweenfuzzy equicontinuous and uniformly bounded are studied, and with thehelp of net convergence, the characterization of fuzzyequiconti...

FUZZY LINEAR PROGRAMMING USING MULTIATTRIBUTE VALUE FUNCTION Masahiro INUIGUCHI Hidetomo ICHIHASHI Hideo TANAKA University of Osaka Prefecture In this paper, a fuzzy linear programming problem is formulated under the assumption that a multiattribute value function is given, and its method of solution is proposed. The fuzzy linear programming problem in this paper is the unconstrained linear pro...

This paper deals with dynamic optimization of biped locomotion. The main focus of this research is motion optimization of double support phase. The optimization problem is dealt by using Pontryagins Maximum Principal. For motion optimization of double support phase, the closed kinematic chain has been considered to be opened at appropriate joint and the components of ground reaction forces has ...

We define the fuzzy description logic ALCHNM based on the t-norm of Nilpotent Minimum and we prove its reduction to the crisp description logic ALCH. Hence we prove decidability results for ALCHNM.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of fuzzy obstinate ideals in MV -algebras. Some properties of fuzzy obstinateideals are given. Not only we give some characterizations of fuzzy obstinate ideals, but also bring the extension theorem of fuzzy obstinate ideal of an MV -algebra A. We investigate the relationships between fuzzy obstinate ideals and the other fuzzy ideals of an MV -algebra. We ...
