AbstractLack of water resources and high water salinity levels are among the most important growth-restricting factors for plants species of the world. This research investigates the effect of irrigation levels and salinity on reflectance of Saint John’s wort leaves (Hypericum perforatum L.) under stress conditions (water and salt stress) by multiple linear regression (MLR), artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Empirical and heuristics modeling methods were employed in this study to relate stress conditions to leaf reflectance. It was found that the constructed ANN model exhibited a high performance than multiple regression and ANFIS in estimating leaf reflectance accurately.

Thresholding algorithms segment an image into two parts (foreground and background) by producing a binary version of our initial input. It is a complex procedure (due to the distinctive characteristics of each image) which often constitutes the initial step of other image processing or computer vision applications. Global techniques calculate a single threshold for the whole image while local techniques calculate a different threshold for each pixel based on specific attributes of its local area. In some of our previous work, we introduced some specific fuzzy inclusion and entropy measures which we efficiently managed to use on both global and local thresholding. The general method which we presented was an open and adaptable procedure, it was free of sensitivity or bias parameters and it involved image classification, mathematical functions, a fuzzy symmetrical triangular number and some criteria of choosing between two possible thresholds. Here, we continue this research and try to avoid all these by automatically connecting our measures with the wanted threshold using some Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Using an ANN in image segmentation is not uncommon especially in the domain of medical images. However, our proposition involves the use of an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) which means that all we need is a proper database. It is a simple and immediate method which could provide researchers with an alternative approach to the thresholding problem considering that they probably have at their disposal some appropriate and specialized data.

Intelligent Approach

Robotics technology is used widely in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) which provides high performance and accuracy. The most famous robot arm mechanisms, which are used in MIS, are tendon-driven mechanism (TDM), and concentric tube mechanism (CTM). Unfortunately, these mechanisms until now have some limitations, i.e. making friction with the tissue during extracting and retracting and strain limits, for TDM and CTM respectively. A new hybrid concentric tube-tendon driven mechanism (HCTDM) is proposed to overcome these limitations. HCTDM enables the end-effector to get close to and get away from the surgical area during the operation without harming the tissue and with more flexibility. In addition to that, the workspace increases as a result of this combination, too. This benefit serves MIS, especially endoscopic surgeries (ESs). We did an analytical study of this idea and got the forward kinematics. In the inverse kinematics, an intelligent approach which is called an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is used because the closed-form solution is more complicated for such these mechanisms. Finally, HCTDM is analyzed and evaluated by using a computer simulation. The simulation results show that the workspace becomes wider and has more dexterity than use TDM or CTM individually. Furthermore, various trajectories are used to test the mechanism and the kinematic analysis, which show the mechanism can follow and track the trajectories with maximum mean error 1.279, 0.7027, and [Formula: see text] for X, Y, and Z axes respectively.

Abstract This research provides a comparative study of intelligent systems in structural damage assessment after the occurrence of an earthquake. Seismic response data of a reinforced concrete structure subjected to 100 different levels of seismic excitation are utilized to study the structural damage pattern described by a well-known damage index, the maximum inter-story drift ratio (MISDR). Through a time-frequency analysis of the accelerograms, a set of seismic features is extracted. The aim of this study is to analyze the performance of three different techniques for the set of the proposed seismic features: an artificial neural network (ANN), a Mamdani-type fuzzy inference system (FIS), and a Sugeno-type FIS. The performance of the models is evaluated in terms of the mean square error (MSE) between the actual calculated and estimated MISDR values derived from the proposed models. All models provide small MSE values. Yet, the ANN model reveals a slightly better performance.

Abstract In this paper, the trap efficiency (TE) of retention dams was investigated using laboratory experiments. To map the relation between TE and involved parameters, artificial intelligence (AI) methods including artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and support vector machine (SVM) were utilized. Results of experiments indicated that the range of TE varies between 30 and 98%; hence, this structure can be recommended to control sediment transport in watershed management plans. Experimental results showed that by increasing the longitudinal slope of streams, TE decreases. This finding was observed for Vf/Vs parameter, as well. By increasing the mean diameter grain size (D50) and specific gravity of sediments (Gs), TE increases. Results of all applied AI models demonstrated that all of them have suitable performance; however, the minimum data dispersivity was observed in SVM outcomes. It is notable that the best performance of transfer, membership and kernel functions were related to tansig, gaussmf and radial basis function (RBF) for ANN, SVM and ANFIS, respectively.

Ptfe Composites

Lately, artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models have been recognized as potential and good tools for mathematical modeling of complex and nonlinear behavior of specific wear rate (SWR) of composite materials. In this study, modeling and prediction of specific wear rate of polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE) composites using FFNN and ANFIS models were examined. The performances of the models were compared with conventional multilinear regression (MLR) model. To establish the proper choice of input variables, a sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the most influential parameter on the SWR. The modeling and prediction performance results showed that FFNN and ANFIS models outperformed that of the MLR model by 45.36% and 45.80%, respectively. The sensitivity analysis findings revealed that the volume fraction of reinforcement and density of the composites and sliding distance were the most and more influential parameters, respectively. The goodness of fit of the ANN and ANFIS models was further checked using t-test at 5% level of significance and the results proved that ANN and ANFIS models are powerful and efficient tools in dealing with complex and nonlinear behavior of SWR of the PTFE composites.

Abstract During the past decades, several research studies have been made to unfold the immense and diversified benefits of the innovative applications of machine learning (ML) techniques in the petroleum industry. For instance, machine learning algorithms were applied to estimate the various physical properties of natural gas. Natural gas density is considered an indispensable metric that influences the determination of several variables necessary for analyzing natural gas systems. In this work, the Artificial neural network (ANN), a machine learning technique, was applied to estimate natural gas density incorporating the influencing factors. The ANN model was also compared with another ML technique, namely the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). A mathematical form has been also presented using ANN. A real data set was taken from the literature, comprised of about 4500 data points assimilating three influencing input variables, including pseudo-reduced pressure (PPr), pseudo-reduced temperature (TPr), and molecular weight (Mw). The PPr and TPr are obtained by calculating the averages of the sample gas critical pressures and critical temperatures. A complicated nonlinear relationship exists between the three influencing variables and the gas density. The data set was divided into a 70:30 ratio for training and testing the model, respectively. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were applied to train and test the model. Absolute average percentage error (AAPE), coefficient of determination (R2), and root mean squared error (RMSE) were considered in the error metrics to acquire the best possible model. Levenberg–Marquardt backpropagation algorithm was employed for ANN, while subtractive clustering was used for ANFIS. Results showed that natural gas density can be well correlated with numerous inputs using machine learning tools (ANN and ANFIS). The input parameters include Ppr, Tpr, and Mw, as mentioned above. ANN performed better than ANFIS. The network was adjusted against the training sub-set to set-up weights and biases covering each node. R2 for both testing and training data was more than 99%, while AAPE was around 4% for both cases. Moreover, a detailed mathematical scheme for the ANN model is also provided in this paper.
