....it has been very successful in technical application domains (fuzzy control, particularly in Japan) medicine seems somewhat reluctant to take notice of its benefits. Interestingly, Zadeh anticipated very early that medical diagnosis would be the most likely application domain of his theory [Zadeh 68] However, despite its obvious expressive power in modelling vague concepts so typical of medical knowledge, fuzziness in medicine is still far from being mainstream. Quite to the contrary, after the flaws of MYCIN s certainty factor model have been identified and generally agreed upon, ....

....input space. This algorithm can efficiently identify two or more fuzzy clusters in the input space that have the same output fuzzy cluster. 1 Introduction Fuzzy modeling has become very popular because of the main feature of its ability to assign meaningful linguistic labels to the fuzzy sets [1] in the rule base [2,3] Sugeno and Yasukawa s qualitative modeling (SY) method [4] has gained much attention in the fuzzy research field mainly due to its advantage of building fuzzy rule bases automatically from sample input out data. The fuzzy rule bases extracted by the SY method are sparse ....

....important issue and is actually an active research area. The information ambiguity when dealing with the roads extraction problem arises from the ill defined concept of a road. In fact, at the pixel level, a road is defined as a set of bright pixels. This is precisely the concept of a fuzzy set [1] defined over the universe of gray levels. Road pixels are not the only bright pixels in an image, and some road pixels may be partially or totally covered by trees leading to dark road pixels. In the next section, we propose the use of fuzzy concepts in order to define, at the local spatial ....

....we propose the use of fuzzy concepts in order to define, at the local spatial level, a set of 12 elementary 2D basic road structures. The aim is to obtain a road membership value. II. Fuzzy masks defining basic road structures Fuzzy masks concept was first introduced by F.Russo and G. Ramponi [1]. A fuzzy mask, also called fuzzy operator, aims at detecting a particular pattern of neighboring pixels. Each pixel is this pattern is described by the linguistic variables Bright and Dark . At a local spatial context level, the road is defined as a set of concatenated bright pixels defining ....

FUZZIFICATION PROCESS The inadequacy of conventional mathematics in modeling the expert s approximate reasoning process has motivated researchers to seek other alternatives. The fuzzy set theory pioneered by L. Zadeh [13 14] provides us with a powerful mathematical tool for modeling the human ability to reach conclusions when the information available is imprecise, incomplete, and not totally reliable. In conventional crisp set theory, one element either belongs to a set or it does not. The major characteristic that ....

It concerns the fact that the classification results (given as a thematic map) lack additional information related to the degree of certainty, and or complexity, associated with each thematic decision.

....is imprecise, incomplete, and not totally reliable. The major characteristic that distinguishes fuzzy set theory from traditional crisp set theory is that it allows intermediate grades of membership. A fuzzy set A over is defined as the set of ordered pairs A= X, A (X) X , where A (X) [0,1]) is termed the grade of membership of the element X to the fuzzy set A. In a multisensor classification problem, a pattern X is described as a vector in an N dimensional space, X= x 1 , x 2 , x N ] x n n , n = 1, 2, N, where n denotes the n th sensor data observation ....

We find the first problem can be solved by inference using fuzzy database [15, 16, 17]. For example, the overspeed violation is inferred by the degree how fast driver speeded along the street when the accident happened. The degree of speed can be judged by direction of the car, state of road, and skid marks. On the normal road, if the skid mark is 12 meter or 10 meter, the ....

Their framework is based on fuzzy set theory, and they compute the lower and upper bounds of an interval with the use of min max and product sum. Fuzzy set theory [52, 53] which also plays an important role in uncertain reasoning is well known to possess non probabilistic features and hence we do not discuss it in greater detail here. In logic programming, most work on quantitative deduction has focused on non probabilistic logic programming. We feel that one ....
