An anisotropic diffusion filter contoled by fuzzy rules is presented. The proposed filter is based in the Perona-Malik technique, using a fuzzy reasoning to calculate de diffusion coefficient which controls the whole diffusion. The method has the advantage that it can be used for both smoothing and noise cleaning, as well as edge enhancement. This new aproach also allows ut to model the diffusi...

the notion of absorbent ordered filters in implicative semigroupsis introduced, and its fuzzification is considered. relations among (fuzzy) orderedfilters, (fuzzy) absorbent ordered filters, and (fuzzy) positive implicativeordered filters are stated. the extensionproperty for (fuzzy) absorbent orderedfilters is established. conditions for (fuzzy) ordered filters to be (fuzzy)absorbent ordered ...

By monitoring the future process status via information prediction, process fault prognosis is able to give an early alarm and therefore prevent faults, when the faults are still in their early stages. A fuzzy-adaptive unscented Kalman filter (FAUKF)-based predictor is proposed to improve the tracking and forecasting capability for process fault prognosis. The predictor combines the strong trac...

An essential part of any scientific study on any time series analysis depends strongly on availability of reliable data. It is a fact that experimental data records are always contaminated by inaccurate information, not only due to measurement errors but also due to ambiguity of measuring concepts. This occurs especially in fields related to the human science, where unexpected sharp signals are...

this paper deals with ridge estimation of fuzzy nonparametric regression models using triangular fuzzy numbers. this estimation method is obtained by implementing ridge regression learning algorithm in the la- grangian dual space. the distance measure for fuzzy numbers that suggested by diamond is used and the local linear smoothing technique with the cross- validation procedure for selecting t...

In this paper, an efficiently DWT-based watermarking technique is proposed to embed signatures in images to attest the owner identification and discourage the unauthorized copying. This paper deals with a fuzzy inference filter to choose the larger entropy of coefficients to embed watermarks. Unlike most previous watermarking frameworks which embedded watermarks in the larger coefficients of in...

In this paper, we present a novel approach to the restoration of noise-corrupted image, which is particularly effective at removing highly impulsive noise while preserving image details. This is accomplished through a fuzzy smoothing filter constructed from a set of fuzzy membership functions for which the initial parameters are derived in accordance with input histogram. A principle of conserv...

Smoothness priors and quadratic variation (QV) regularization are widely used techniques in many applications ranging from signal image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition, other fields of engineering science. In this contribution, an extension such algorithms to band-stop smoothing filters (BSSFs) is investigated. For designing a BSSF, the most important parameters order cutoff fr...

In this paper we present, propose and examine additional membership functions for the Smoothing Transition Autoregressive (STAR) models. More specifically, we present the tangent hyperbolic, Gaussian and Generalized bell functions. Because Smoothing Transition Autoregressive (STAR) models follow fuzzy logic approach, more fuzzy membership functions should be tested. Furthermore, fuzzy rules can...
