This study aims to optimize brain tumor MR images classification accuracy using optimal threshold, PCA and training Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with different repetitions.Material and Methods: The procedure used in this study consists of five steps: (1) T1, T2 weighted images collection, (2) tumor separation with different threshold levels, (3) feature extraction, (4) presence and absence of feature reduction applying principal component analysis (PCA) and (5) ANFIS classification with 0, 20 and 200 training repetitions. Results: ANFIS accuracy was 40%, 80% and 97% for all features and 97%, 98.5% and 100% for the 6 selected features by PCA in 0, 20 and 200 training repetitions, respectively.Conclusion: The findings of the present study demonstrated that accuracy can be raised up to 100% by using an optimized threshold method, PCA and increasing training repetitions.

Hydrophobicity of polymeric insulator plays a vital role in determining the insulation quality in outdoor overhead electrical transmission and distribution lines. Loss of hydrophobicity increases the leakage current and leads to flashover. Monitoring hydrophobicity becomes a fundamental requirement to ensure continuity of power line operations. Hydrophobicity of polymeric insulator is classified according to STRI (Swedish Transmission Research Institute) guidelines. This paper proposes an intelligent ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) based classifier to determine the hydrophobicity quality using the digital image of the insulator. Ten statistical features are extracted from the digital images. Two stages of feature reduction are employed to reduce the number of features. Pre-design stage uses PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and reduces the number of features to six from ten and the post-design stage analyzes the accumulation effect to reduce the number of features to four. Various ANFIS classifiers are trained using these reduced features extracted from the image. The performance of these ANFIS classifiers is evaluated in both field and laboratory specimens. Results indicate classification accuracy of 96.4% and 93.3% during the training and testing phase when triangular membership function with linear output function is employed in ANFIS. A GUI (Graphical User Interface) has also been designed to facilitate the use of the proposed system by field operators.

Processing of Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) is one of the widely known best techniques to diagnose brain tumor since it gives better results than ultrasound or X-Ray images. The main objective is to diagnose the presence and extraction of brain tumor using MRI images. Image preprocessing includes contrast stretching, noise filtering and Adaptive Histogram Equalization(AHE). AHE gives a graphical representation of digital image without enhancing above the desired level. The next stage involves transferring the redundant information in input image to reduced set of features is called feature selection and is done by color, shape or texture of an image. Image is segmented using incorporation of Artificial Neural Networks(ANN) and Fuzzy logic called Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System(ANFIS) wherein we get the desired output to differentiate tumor affected and normal image with its severity level. Since we deal with uncertainty much more, fuzzy logic serves as a vibrant tool in representing human knowledge as IF-THEN rules. MATLAB has been implemented in detection and extraction of tumor at an early stage.

Abstract A combination of decision tree (DT) and fuzzy logic techniques was used to develop a fuzzy model for differentiating peanut plant from weeds. Color features and wavelet-based texture features were extracted from images of peanut plant and its three common weeds. Two feature selection techniques namely Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Correlation-based Feature Selection (CFS) were applied on input dataset and three Decision Trees (DTs) including J48, Random Tree (RT), and Reduced Error Pruning (REP) were used to distinguish between different plants. In all cases, the best overall classification accuracies were achieved when CFS-selected features were used as input data. The obtained accuracies of J48-CFS, REP-CFS, and RT-CFS trees for classification of the four plant categories namely peanut plant, Velvetleaf, False daisy, and Nicandra, were 80.83%, 80.00% and 79.17% respectively. Along with these almost low accuracies, the structures of the decision trees were complex making them unsuitable for developing a fuzzy inference system. The classifiers were also used for differentiating peanut plant from the group of weeds. The overall accuracies on training and testing datasets were respectively 95.56% and 93.75% for J48-CFS; 92.78% and 91.67% for REP-CFS; and 93.33% and 92.59% for RT-CFS DTs. The results showed that the J48-CFS and REP-CFS were the most appropriate models to set the membership functions and rules of the fuzzy classifier system. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the developed DT-based fuzzy logic model can be used effectively to discriminate weeds from peanut plant in the form of machine vision-based cultivating systems.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an integral role among the advanced techniques for detecting a brain tumor. The early detection of brain tumor with proper automation algorithm results in assisting oncologists to make easy decisions for diagnostic purposes. This paper presents an automatic classification of MR brain images in normal and malignant conditions. The feature extraction is done with gray-level co-occurrence matrix, and we proposed a feature reduction technique based on statistical test which is preceded by principal component analysis (PCA). The main focus of the work is to establish the statistical significance of the features obtained after PCA, thereby selecting significant feature values for subsequent classification. For that, a [Formula: see text]-test is performed which yielded a [Formula: see text]-value of 0.05. Finally, a comparative study using [Formula: see text]-nearest neighbor (kNN), support vector machine and artificial neural network (ANN)-based supervised classifiers is performed. In this work, we could achieve reasonably good sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for all the classifiers. The ANN classifier gives better performance with sensitivity of 97.33%, specificity of 97.42% and accuracy of 98.66% on the whole brain atlas database. The experimental results obtained are comparable to the other recent state-of-the-art.

<p>Imaging plays an important role in medical field like medical diagnosis, treatment planning and patient follow up. Image segmentation is the backbone process to accomplish these tasks by dividing an image in to meaningful parts which share similar properties.  Medical Resonance Imaging (MRI) is primary diagnostic technique to do image segmentation. There are several techniques proposed for image segmentation of different parts of body like Region growing, Thresholding, Clustering methods and Soft computing techniques  (Fuzzy Logic, Neural Network, Genetic Algorithm).The proposed research work uses Grey level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) for texture feature extraction, ANFIS(Adaptive Network Fuzzy inference System) plus  Genetic Algorithm for feature selection and FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) for segmentation of  Astrocytoma (Brain Tumor) with all four Grades. The comparative study between FCM, FCM plus K-mean, Genetic Algorithm, ANFIS and proposed technique shows improved Accuracy, Sensitivity and Specificity.</p>

Use of manufactured sand to replace natural sand is increasing in the last several decades. This study is devoted to the assessment of using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) together with Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) for enhancing the prediction accuracy of individual Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in predicting the compressive strength of manufactured sand concrete (MSC). The PCA technique was applied for reducing the noise in the input space, whereas, TLBO was employed to increase the prediction performance of single ANFIS model in searching the optimal weights of input parameters. A number of 289 configurations of MSC were used for the simulation, especially including the sand characteristics and the MSC long-term compressive strength. Using various validation criteria such as Correlation Coefficient (R), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE), the proposed method was validated and compared with several models, including individual ANFIS, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and existing empirical equations. The results showed that the proposed model exhibited great prediction capability compared with other models. Thus, it appeared as a robust alternative computing tool or an efficient soft computing technique for quick and accurate prediction of the MSC compressive strength.
