Many of real-world systems are of multidimensional features, such as, thermal and fluid processes with spatiotemporal dynamics, biological systems, or decision-making processes that contain stochastic and imprecise uncertainties. These types of systems are difficult for the traditional FLS to model and control because they require a third dimension for spatial or probabilistic information. The type-2 fuzzy set provides the possibility to develop a three-dimensional fuzzy logic system for modeling and controlling these processes in three-dimensional nature.展开更多

Studies on traffic measurement of TCP networks have shown that the packet traffic exhibits long range dependent properties called self-similarity, which degrades the network performance greatly. The probabilistic fuzzy control (PFC) system is used to handle the complex stochastic features of self-similar traffic and the modeling uncertainties in the network system. A three-dimensional (3-D) membership function (MF) is embedded in the PFC to express and describe the stochastic feature of network traffic. The 3-D MF has extended the traditional fuzzy planar mapping and further provides a spatial mapping among "fuzziness-randomness-state". The additional stochastic expression of 3-D MF provides the PFC an additional freedom to handle the stochastic features of self-similar traffic. Simulation experiments show that the proposed control method achieves superior performance compared to traditional control schemes in a stochastic environment.展开更多

Our prop...Our purpose in this study was to develop an automated method for measuring three-dimensional (3D) cerebral cortical thicknesses in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using magnetic resonance (MR) images. Our proposed method consists of mainly three steps. First, a brain parenchymal region was segmented based on brain model matching. Second, a 3D fuzzy membership map for a cerebral cortical region was created by applying a fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm to T1-weighted MR images. Third, cerebral cortical thickness was three- dimensionally measured on each cortical surface voxel by using a localized gradient vector trajectory in a fuzzy membership map. Spherical models with 3 mm artificial cortical regions, which were produced using three noise levels of 2%, 5%, and 10%, were employed to evaluate the proposed method. We also applied the proposed method to T1-weighted images obtained from 20 cases, i.e., 10 clinically diagnosed AD cases and 10 clinically normal (CN) subjects. The thicknesses of the 3 mm artificial cortical regions for spherical models with noise levels of 2%, 5%, and 10% were measured by the proposed method as 2.953 ± 0.342, 2.953 ± 0.342 and 2.952 ± 0.343 mm, respectively. Thus the mean thicknesses for the entire cerebral lobar region were 3.1 ± 0.4 mm for AD patients and 3.3 ± 0.4 mm for CN subjects, respectively (p < 0.05). The proposed method could be feasible for measuring the 3D cerebral cortical thickness on individual cortical surface voxels as an atrophy feature in AD.展开更多

The constructed emotional model should not only match facial expressions with emotions, but also reflect the location relationship between different emotions. In this way, it is easy to understand the current emotion of an individual through the analysis of the acquired facial expression information. This paper constructs an improved three-dimensional model for emotion based on fuzzy theory, which corresponds to the facial features to emotions based on the basic emotions proposed by Ekman. What’s more, the three-dimensional model for motion is able to divide every emotion into three different groups which can show the positional relationship visually and quantitatively and at the same time determine the degree of emotion based on fuzzy theory.展开更多

The syntax and semantics of FCDLs are formally defined, and the forms of axioms and assertions in FCDLs knowledge bases are specified. FCDLs combine both fuzzy concepts from the fuzzy description logics (FDLs) and cut concepts from the extended fuzzy description logics (EFDLs) in the same theory. Furthermore, cut concepts are extended into comparison cut concepts in FCDLs to represent comparison expressions between fuzzy membership degrees, which are often used in practice but not supported by the other fuzzy extensions of description logics. FCDLs have more expressive power than FDLs and EFDLs, and are able to represent expressive fuzzy knowledge and to perform reasoning tasks based on them. Therefore, FCDLs can enable representation and reasoning for fuzzy ontologies with expressive fuzzy knowledge on the semantic web.展开更多

The simulation results show that this control method can decrease the acceleration of driver's seat and the suspension travel of the first road wheel, the ride quality is improved obviously.展开更多

The simulation results show that the strategy presented can solve the power distribution problem of hybrid tracked vehicles correctly and effectively.展开更多

Fuzzy rules for the distance, angle and connectivity are presented to calculate the matching reliability. 2 indicators for estimating the matching reliability are then derived, one is the lower limit of the reliability, and the other is the limit error of the difference between the maximal value and the second-maximal value of the reliability. A real-time map-matching system based on fuzzy logic is therefore developed. Using the real data of global positioning system(GIS) based navigation and geographic information system(GPS) based road map, the method is verified and the (results) prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

摘要The traditional fuzzy logic system (FLS) can only model and control the process in two-dimensional nature. Many of real-world systems are of multidimensional features, such as, thermal and fluid processes with spatiotemporal dynamics, biological systems, or decision-making processes that contain stochastic and imprecise uncertainties. These types of systems are difficult for the traditional FLS to model and control because they require a third dimension for spatial or probabilistic information. The type-2 fuzzy set provides the possibility to develop a three-dimensional fuzzy logic system for modeling and controlling these processes in three-dimensional nature.

摘要This paper introduces a fuzzy C-means-based pooling layer for convolutional neural networks that explicitly models local uncertainty and ambiguity.Conventional pooling operations,such as max and average,apply rigid aggregation and often discard fine-grained boundary information.In contrast,our method computes soft membershipswithin each receptive field and aggregates cluster-wise responses throughmembership-weighted pooling,thereby preserving informative structure while reducing dimensionality.Being differentiable,the proposed layer operates as standard two-dimensional pooling.We evaluate our approach across various CNN backbones and open datasets,including CIFAR-10/100,STL-10,LFW,and ImageNette,and further probe small training set restrictions on MNIST and Fashion-MNIST.In these settings,the proposed pooling consistently improves accuracy and weighted F1 over conventional baselines,with particularly strong gains when training data are scarce.Even with less than 1%of the training set,ourmethodmaintains reliable performance,indicating improved sample efficiency and robustness to noisy or ambiguous local patterns.Overall,integrating soft memberships into the pooling operator provides a practical and generalizable inductive bias that enhances robustness and generalization in modern CNN pipelines.
摘要This study presents a mobile expert system for on-device detection and short-horizon forecasting of aggression using affordable edge hardware.The proposed framework combines lightweight on-body and ambient signals,compact sequential predictors,and an interpretable fuzzy decision layer that converts calibrated probabilities into actionable and auditable alerts.In a subject-held-out pilot study with 10 independent participants,the system achieved a macro-averaged F1 score of 98.3%and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.998 on the held-out test split.These results should be interpreted as pilot-scale held-out estimates rather than as definitive evidence of broad superiority across settings,because only 10 independent participants were available for subject-level evaluation and residual optimism or overfitting at the between-subject level cannot yet be excluded.Since the dataset belongs to a completed feasibility-oriented pilot phase,no additional participant-level test cases could be incorporated within the scope of the present study.An exploratory external check on a small independent cohort of 15 cases yielded performance of similar magnitude;however,these findings are presented strictly as preliminary and should not be interpreted as robust evidence of generalization across settings or populations.The compact Long Short-TermMemory forecasters also often reached their best validation region after relatively few effective epochs;in this pilot,that behavior is interpreted as a fixed-cohort optimization characteristic rather than as evidence that the available training data are already sufficient for deployment-oriented generalization.Ablation analyses indicate that short-horizon sequential predictors and weapon-related cues contribute most strongly to predictive accuracy,whereas camera-derived person andweapon cues should be understood as local field-of-viewevidence rather than complete scene observability.Beyond pointwise latency,the prototype also demonstrated pilot-stage sustained-load feasibility on Raspberry Pi 3B+hardware during a continuous 6 h profile,with mean central processing unit utilization of 68.4%(±4.2%),mean throughput of 0.798 records/s,and a battery-basedmean power proxy of 5.18W.The design prioritizes calibrated probability estimates,robustness to missing data,and transparent alert generation for non-specialist operators.Aggressiveness labels were defined through an a priori,expert-informed operational codebook intended to stratify short-horizon security risk into Low,Medium,and High levels rather than to provide a clinical diagnosis.Data collection was conducted under written informed consent,ethics approval,and de-identified data-handling procedures.Limitations include the pilot scale,single-site acquisition,and controlled distribution shifts;broader assessment of generalization and fairness will require larger,multi-session,and multi-site cohorts.
摘要Our purpose in this study was to develop an automated method for measuring three-dimensional (3D) cerebral cortical thicknesses in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using magnetic resonance (MR) images. Our proposed method consists of mainly three steps. First, a brain parenchymal region was segmented based on brain model matching. Second, a 3D fuzzy membership map for a cerebral cortical region was created by applying a fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm to T1-weighted MR images. Third, cerebral cortical thickness was three- dimensionally measured on each cortical surface voxel by using a localized gradient vector trajectory in a fuzzy membership map. Spherical models with 3 mm artificial cortical regions, which were produced using three noise levels of 2%, 5%, and 10%, were employed to evaluate the proposed method. We also applied the proposed method to T1-weighted images obtained from 20 cases, i.e., 10 clinically diagnosed AD cases and 10 clinically normal (CN) subjects. The thicknesses of the 3 mm artificial cortical regions for spherical models with noise levels of 2%, 5%, and 10% were measured by the proposed method as 2.953 ± 0.342, 2.953 ± 0.342 and 2.952 ± 0.343 mm, respectively. Thus the mean thicknesses for the entire cerebral lobar region were 3.1 ± 0.4 mm for AD patients and 3.3 ± 0.4 mm for CN subjects, respectively (p < 0.05). The proposed method could be feasible for measuring the 3D cerebral cortical thickness on individual cortical surface voxels as an atrophy feature in AD.

摘要Ticket gates are vital equipment within subway stations,which have also caused bottlenecks in pedestrian flow.The effective utilization of ticket gates can enhance the pedestrian traffic efficiency.Nevertheless,pedestrian choice of ticket gates has the characteristics of uncertainty and fuzziness.In this regard,we build a fuzzy-theory-based pedestrian choice model of ticket gates:the distance,queuing pedestrians and luggage are adopted as three input variables in the fuzzy logic method,and the probability of selecting each ticket gate is set as the output variable.On this basic,we employ social force model(SFM)to simulate the ticket gates selection process in subway stations.Simulation results demonstrate that the choice model based on fuzzy logic can capture pedestrian choice behavior of ticket gates well.In comparison to traditional choice strategies(choosing the nearest ticket gate or choosing the ticket gate with the fewest queuing pedestrians),the proposed choice model of ticket gates based on fuzzy logic has the higher passing efficiency and the utilization of ticket gates is more balanced.The outcomes of this research can provide substantial support for the humanized design and operation management of subway stations.
摘要Emotion Model is the basis of facial expression recognition system. The constructed emotional model should not only match facial expressions with emotions, but also reflect the location relationship between different emotions. In this way, it is easy to understand the current emotion of an individual through the analysis of the acquired facial expression information. This paper constructs an improved three-dimensional model for emotion based on fuzzy theory, which corresponds to the facial features to emotions based on the basic emotions proposed by Ekman. What’s more, the three-dimensional model for motion is able to divide every emotion into three different groups which can show the positional relationship visually and quantitatively and at the same time determine the degree of emotion based on fuzzy theory.

摘要To enable representation and reasoning for fuzzy ontologies with expressive fuzzy knowledge on the semantic web, a new fuzzy extension of description logics called the fuzzy description logics with comparison expressions (FCDLs) is presented. The syntax and semantics of FCDLs are formally defined, and the forms of axioms and assertions in FCDLs knowledge bases are specified. FCDLs combine both fuzzy concepts from the fuzzy description logics (FDLs) and cut concepts from the extended fuzzy description logics (EFDLs) in the same theory. Furthermore, cut concepts are extended into comparison cut concepts in FCDLs to represent comparison expressions between fuzzy membership degrees, which are often used in practice but not supported by the other fuzzy extensions of description logics. FCDLs have more expressive power than FDLs and EFDLs, and are able to represent expressive fuzzy knowledge and to perform reasoning tasks based on them. Therefore, FCDLs can enable representation and reasoning for fuzzy ontologies with expressive fuzzy knowledge on the semantic web.
摘要The model of half a tracked vehicle semi-active suspension is established. The fuzzy logic controller of the semi-active suspension system is constructed. The acceleration of driver's seat and its time derivative are used as the inputs of the fuzzy logic controller, and the fuzzy logic controller output determines the semi-active suspension controllable damping force. The fuzzy logic controller is to minimize the mean square root of acceleration of the driver's seat. The control forces of controllable dampers behind the first road wheel are obtained by time delay, and the delay times are determined by the vehicle speed and axles distances. The simulation results show that this control method can decrease the acceleration of driver's seat and the suspension travel of the first road wheel, the ride quality is improved obviously.

摘要To solve the problem of power distribution for hybrid tracked vehicles (HTV), a supervi- sory control strategy is proposed. Firstly, power system integration is analyzed and modeled. Then the control algorithm is given. Two fuzzy logics are used to realize the coordination control over each power unit. One controls power distribution based on the load power and battery state of charge (SOC). The other manage the power during regenerating braking. To validate the presented control strategy, a "driver and controller" in the loop simulation platform is built based on dSPACE system and real-time simulation is made. The simulation results show that the strategy presented can solve the power distribution problem of hybrid tracked vehicles correctly and effectively.

摘要A new real-time map matching algorithm based on fuzzy logic is proposed. 3 main factors affecting the reliability of map matching, including the distance between the vehicle location and the matching road segment, the angle between the vehicle direction and the road segment direction and the road connectivity are discussed. Fuzzy rules for the distance, angle and connectivity are presented to calculate the matching reliability. 2 indicators for estimating the matching reliability are then derived, one is the lower limit of the reliability, and the other is the limit error of the difference between the maximal value and the second-maximal value of the reliability. A real-time map-matching system based on fuzzy logic is therefore developed. Using the real data of global positioning system(GIS) based navigation and geographic information system(GPS) based road map, the method is verified and the (results) prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

摘要To deal with fault detection and diagnosis with incomplete model for dead reckoning system of mobile robot,an integrative framework of particle filter detection and fuzzy logic diagnosis was devised.Firstly,an adaptive fault space is designed for recognizing both known faults and unknown faults,in corresponding modes of modeled and model-free.Secondly,the particle filter is utilized to diagnose the modeled faults and detect model-free fault according to the low particle weight and reliability.Especially,the proposed fuzzy logic diagnosis can further analyze model-free modes and identify some soft faults in unknown fault space.The MORCS-1 experimental results show that the fuzzy diagnosis particle filter(FDPF) combinational framework improves fault detection and identification completeness.Specifically speaking,FDPF is feasible to diagnose the modeled faults in known space.Furthermore,the types of model-free soft faults can also be further identified and diagnosed in unknown fault space.

摘要A kinematics and fuzzy logic combined formation controller was proposed for leader-follower based formation control using backstepping method in order to accommodate the dynamics of the robot.The kinematics controller generates desired linear and angular velocities for follower robots,which make the configuration of follower robots coverage to the desired.The fuzzy logic controller takes dynamics of the leader and followers into consideration,which is built upon Mamdani fuzzy model.The force and torque acting on robots are described as linguistic variables and also 25 if-then rules are designed.In addition,the fuzzy logic controller adopts the Centroid of Area method as defuzzification strategy and makes robots’actual velocities converge to the expected which is generated by the kinematics controller.The innovation of the kinematics and fuzzy logic combined formation controller presented in the paper is that the perfect velocity tracking assumption is removed and realtime performance of the system is improved.Compared with traditional torque-computed controller,the velocity error convergence time in case of the proposed method is shorter than traditional torque-computed controller.The simulation results validate that the proposed controller can drive robot members to form the desired formation and formation tracking errors which can coverage to a neighborhood of the origin.Additionally,the simulations also show that the proposed method has better velocity convergence performance than traditional torque-computed method.
