This paper proposes an image analysis system to segment multiple sclerosis lesions of magnetic resonance (MR) brain volumes consisting of 3 mm thick slices using three channels (images showing T1-, T2and PD -weighted contrast). The method uses the statistical model of Markov Random Fields (MRF) both at low and high levels. The neighborhood system used in this MRF is defined in three types: (1) ...

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme is proposed for a class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown discrete and distributed time-varying delays, and the proposed design method does not require a priori knowledge of the signs of the control gains.Based on the backstepping technique, the adaptive fuzzy controller is constructed. The main contributions of the paper...

In this paper we introduce the notion of fuzzy bitopological ideals .The concept of fuzzy pairwise local function is also introduced here by utilizing the q-neighborhood structure for a fuzzy topological space .These concepts are discussed fuzzy bitopologies and several relations between different fuzzy bitopological ideals .

The main purpose of this paper is to achieve improvement in thespeed of Fuzzy Joint Points (FJP) algorithm. Since FJP approach is a basisfor fuzzy neighborhood based clustering algorithms such as Noise-Robust FJP(NRFJP) and Fuzzy Neighborhood DBSCAN (FN-DBSCAN), improving FJPalgorithm would an important achievement in terms of these FJP-based meth-ods. Although FJP has many advantages such as r...

We study the fuzzy soft proximity spaces in Katsaras's sense. First, we show how a fuzzy soft topology is derived from a fuzzy soft proximity. Also, we define the notion of fuzzy soft δ-neighborhood in the fuzzy soft proximity space which offers an alternative approach to the study of fuzzy soft proximity spaces. Later, we obtain the initial fuzzy soft proximity determined by a family of fuzzy ...

This paper focuses on the problem of direct adaptive fuzzy control for nonlinear strict-feedback systems with time-varying delays. Based on the Razumikhin function approach, a novel adaptive fuzzy controller is designed. The proposed controller guarantees that the system output converges to a small neighborhood of the reference signal and all the signals in the closed-loop system remain bounded...

This paper considers the adaptive fuzzy robust control problem for a class of single-input and single-output (SISO) stochastic nonlinear systems in strict-feedback form. The systems under study possess unstructured uncertainties, unknown dead-zone, uncertain dynamics and unknown gain functions. In the controller design, fuzzy logic systems are adopted to approximate the unknown functions, and t...

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy robust output feedback control approach is proposed for a class of single input single output (SISO) strict-feedback nonlinear systems without measurements of states. The nonlinear systems addressed in this paper are assumed to possess unstructured uncertainties, unmodeled dynamics and dynamic disturbances, where the unstructured uncertainties are not linearly p...
