− In this paper a development of an adaptive Kalman filter through a fuzzy inference system (FIS) is outlined. The adaptation is concerned with the imposition of conditions under which the filter measurement noise covariance matrix R or the process noise covariance matrix Q are estimated. The adaptive adjustment is carried out using a FIS based on the whiteness of the filter innovation sequence...

The aim of this paper is further to develop the filter theory on residuated lattices. The concept of interval valued intuitionistic (T, S)-fuzzy filters on residuated lattices is introduced by linking the intuitionistic fuzzy set, t-norm, s-norm and filter theory of residuated lattices; The properties and equivalent characterizations of Interval valued intuitionistic (T, S)-fuzzy filters are in...

This paper discusses a target tracking problem in which no dynamic mathematical model is explicitly assumed. A nonlinear filter based on the fuzzy If-then rules is developed. A comparison with a Kalman filter is made, and empirical results show that the performance of the fuzzy filter is better. Intensive simulations suggest that theoretical justification of the empirical results is possible.

The basic concept of intuitionistic fuzzy point has been defined by Çoker and Demirci. Also, Çoker constructed the fundamental theory on intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces. In this paper, we define the notions of net and filter in the intuitionistic fuzzy sense, and obtain some results on convergence, in particular we establish the correspondence between net convergence and filter converge...

This paper addresses the problem of robust filtering in color images. We propose to improve the bilateral filter by using Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) filters. Bilateral filter decreases amount of noise preserving edges when filtering. But the results could be strongly affected by the presence of outliers. In this paper, we define the filtering in the framework of fuzzy logic. If the filter...

An efficient noise reduction approach is proposed by combining Robust Outlyingness Ratio (ROR) which measures how impulse like each pixel is, with noise adaptive fuzzy switching median filter (NAFSM) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) segmentation. Based on the ROR values all the pixels are divided into four levels. Then in the coarse and fine stage introduce the NAFSM filter that optimizes the performanc...

This paper presents a new filtering approach based on fuzzy-logic which has high performance in mixed noise environments. This filter is mainly based on the idea that each pixel is not allowed to be uniformly fired by each of the fuzzy rules. In the proposed filtering algorithm, the rule membership functions are tuned iteratively in order to preserve the image edges. Several test experiments we...

The paper makes a description of the fuzzy filter properties considering its operational principles. A digital filter interacts with a reference model signal into real process in order to get the best corresponding answer, having the minimum error at the filter output using the mean square criterion. Adding into this filter structure a fuzzy mechanism, to obtain an intelligent filtering because...

The multiplicative nature of speckle noise present in imaging modalities like echocardiography complicates the despeckling procedure as it would be necessary to remove noise with the edges well preserved. A novel speckle reduction technique based on integration of moving average filter using fuzzy triangulation membership function (TMAV) with moving average center with wiener filter is proposed...
