Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

Mixed model two-sided assembly lines (MM2SAL) are applied to assemble large product models, which is produced in high-volume. So, the sequence planning of products to reduce cost and increase productivity in this kind of lines is imperative. The presented problem is tackled in two steps. In step 1, a framework is developed to select and prioritize customer orders under the finite capacity of th...

The Ensemble of Classifiers (EoC) has been shown to be effective in improving the performance of single classifiers by combining their outputs, and one of the most important properties involved in the selection of the best EoC from a pool of classifiers is considered to be classifier diversity. In general, classifier diversity does not occur randomly, but is generated systematically by various ...

An ensemble of classifiers is a set of classifiers whose predictions are combined in some way to classify new instances. Early research has shown that, in general, an ensemble of classifiers is more accurate than any of the single classifiers in the ensemble. Usually the gains obtained by combining different classifiers are more affected by the chosen classifiers than by the used combination. I...
