Horizontal and Vertical Rule Bases Method in Fuzzy Controllers

Abstract

Concept of horizontal and vertical rule bases is introduced. Using this method enables the designers to look for main behaviors of system and describes them with greater approximations. The rules which describe the system in first stage are called horizontal rule base. In the second stage, the designer modulates the obtained surface by describing needed changes on first surface for handling real behaviors of system. The rules used in the second stage are called vertical rule base. Horizontal and vertical rule bases method has a great roll in easing of extracting the optimum control surface by using too lesser rules than traditional fuzzy systems. This research involves with control of a system with high nonlinearity and in difficulty to model it with classical methods. As a case study for testing proposed method in real condition, the designed controller is applied to steaming room with uncertain data and variable parameters. A comparison between PID and traditional fuzzy counterpart and our proposed system shows that our proposed system outperforms PID and traditional fuzzy systems in point of view of number of valve switching and better surface following. The evaluations have done both with model simulation and DSP implementation.

An interval type-2 FCM for color image segmentation

“…In this paper, the interval type-2 fuzzy sets are used as basic membership functions in fuzzy clustering. The type reduction which is applied to used interval type-2 fuzzy membership functions is decisiveness method which is proposed in [17] and [18]. In decisiveness type reduction method, the interval type-2 is reduced to type one using the below equation for calculating as reduced type membership degree:…”

Static Friction Detection Based on Artificial Neural Networks Method

“…This issue must be monitored continuously; otherwise, its effect can be propagated to entire plant. Therefore many researchers have conducted researches on the presence of static friction as well as dealing with nonlinear and uncertain phenomena (4), (5), (6) .…”

Look-up table based fuzzy controller in order to control steaming room process

“…Three characters which are important regarding these controllers are nonlinearity and unclearness: Nonlinearity and ill system definition is a challenge in various industrial plants (1) . Steaming room and similar industrial plants suffer lack of well-defined mathematical model.…”
