Abstract: The overturning stability issue of continuous girder bridges is critical so that it is necessary to obtain the true overturning stability performance. At present, the parameters uncertainties in the structure were neglected in the stability evaluation method of the long-span continuous girder bridges, which leads to the unknown safety level of the continuous girder bridges during the cantilever construction. Therefore, a calculating method for overturning stability safety factors of long-span continuous girder bridges in cantilever construction based on inverse reliability theory is presented in this paper. The proposed method is extended from the traditional deterministic form of safety factor, which …considered influence of uncertainty factors among structure parameters was used to obtain safety factors through target reliability index based on inverse reliability theory. Overturning stability safety factor of long-span continuous girder bridges in cantilever construction and parameter sensitivity were assessed using the proposed method, as well as the reasonableness of longitudinal overturning stability safety factors was discussed. The results show that parameter uncertainties have a major effect on overturning stability safety factors of long-span continuous girder bridges in cantilever construction, ignoring parameter uncertainties will result in overestimation of overturning stability safety factors of long-span continuous girder bridges in cantilever construction, reasonable safety factor should be obtained based on target performance. The sum of the self-weight of the travelling form and the pouring segment has the most significant effect on the safety factor. It’s critical to ensure a reasonable situation of the travelling form during the construction stage in case of falling. The resistant moment of the temporary support and the eccentric distance of the support also need to be handled carefully because of the remarkable effect. The proposed method is stable and reliable, which will be convergent to the same result from different initial value in spite of different iteration progress. Show more

Abstract: The traditional Gauss-Newton iterative method is highly dependent on the initial value when locating the multimode GNSS receiver. If the difference between the initial value and the true value is higher, the algorithm has the problem of increasing number of iterations, and the algorithm lacks the self main monitoring process of the GNSS receiver, which leads to a great reduction in the positioning accuracy. A high precision multi-mode GNSS positioning algorithm is proposed. It is based on the composition and working principle of multimode GNSS multimode receiver, and the pseudo distance positioning distance is obtained by using GNSS multi constellation …combined location algorithm. It uses a direct algorithm without initial value and iteration through the new algorithm of high precision positioning. After linearizing the pseudo range location distance equation, the user’s general position is calculated. After the pseudo range location distance equation is carried out in the general position of the user, the user’s position correction is calculated by weighted least squares, and the exact location of the user is obtained. The receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) algorithm based on the least square residual method of GNSS receiver is used to realize the self-improvement monitoring of GNSS, and to further improve the precision of the multi-mode GNSS positioning algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed location algorithm has high location accuracy and stability. Show more

Abstract: The small fillet aluminum alloy cavity is a typical structure. The analysis and experiment have been conducted on the chatter at the corner of the aluminum alloy during milling process, the results show that continuity changing of spindle speed acceleration and size effect (special ploughing effect) are the main factors of chatter. The Axial Depth of Cut–Spindle Speed Analysis Method is not effective to reflect the chatter, the previous experiments have proved this point. This study investigated the cutting chatter at the corner during the circular milling process by using a new polar coordinates geometric model. The mechanics of the …process are modeled by considering size effect, while regarding the ploughing effect as a new important factor. The chatter of circular milling is verified and tested both at the reduced speed of spindle and reduced feed per teeth. Acceleration of spindle speed can cause chatter and ploughing effect for enhanced chatter stability because the changed process damping occured at small size. Show more

Abstract: Through fuzzy membership function, the fuzzy algorithm of image boundary detection based on power function can transform ordinary space into generalized fuzzy space. However, the algorithm has a large amount of operation and slow speed, and it will lose the boundary information of some low gray value in the image, thus the quality of the image boundary detection is poor. Therefore, a bilinear fast enhancement fuzzy algorithm for image boundary detection is proposed in this paper. Based on the defined generalized fuzzy set GFS and the generalized fuzzy operator LGFO, the linear left half trapezoid fuzzy distribution function is first …used as the generalized membership transformation of the image.The general space of grayscale image is transformed into generalized fuzzy space, and then boundary detection algorithm based on bilinear fast image enhancement is used to transform color image into gray scale and transform to generalized fuzzy set. The generalized fuzzy operator LGFO is used to enhance the contrast of the generalized fuzzy sets. The generalized fuzzy set after the enhancement is transformed into an ordinary fuzzy subset. The boundary extraction is carried out for the ordinary fuzzy subset after processing, and the image boundary detection is realized. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm greatly improves the speed and quality of image boundary detection. Show more

Abstract: In the past, intelligent system often realized reasoning operation by interpolation method for one-dimensional sparse rule base, and could not analyze fuzzy reasoning of multi-dimensional sparse rule condition, which greatly improved the error and volatility of reasoning results. Therefore, a multiple multi-dimensional fuzzy reasoning algorithm based on CMAC neural network weighting is proposed. Through the CMAC neural network, the influence weight of each variable is extracted. CMAC neural network is applied to train weights of multi-dimensional variables in multiple multi-dimensional fuzzy reasoning rules, and local correction weights are made, so that the weights of each modification are very few. After …fast learning, the influence weights of the multi-dimensional variables on the reasoning result are obtained. A multiple multi-dimensional fuzzy reasoning algorithm based on CMAC neural network weighting is applied to input the given neighboring rules into CMAC neural network, and the weights of the variables in the neighboring rules are obtained. According to the linear interpolation and the sequence of interpolation cardinal numbers, the influence weights of the variables in the observation value are determined. According to the linear interpolation reasoning method, a new fuzzy rule is constructed. Based on the approximation between the new fuzzy rules and the observed values, the similarity between the predicted values and the new fuzzy rules is constructed. The result of fuzzy inference is obtained according to the similarity. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has high reasoning precision and stability, and the practical application effect is good. Show more

By reconstructing the phase space of the landslide displacement time series, the phase space transposed matrix is …obtained as the time series reconstruction matrix. After embedding dimension processing, the time series of landslide displacement is predicted by SVM data mining model. Dynamic time warping calculation is based on the correlation of time series sequence and the components. The local optimal solution is obtained by recursive search, and the whole curve path is obtained. Clustering calculation of time series data set is carried out by using hierarchical clustering algorithm according to bending path. The intelligent clustering results of time series data in landslide displacement prediction is obtained. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better clustering effect and higher clustering accuracy. Show more

Abstract: In traditional multi-infeed AC/DC transmission systems, decentralized and coordinated controllers are usually used to achieve AC/DC transmission control without considering the state and output of the system. Therefore, it cannot reasonably regulate the state of output based on the demand of multi-target control, which leads to poor control effect and weak adaptability. Therefore, a multi- sliding mode adaptive fuzzy controller is designed for the multi-infeed AC/DC transmission system. When the controller is designed, the state equation and the output equation of the multi-infeed AC/DC transmission system are considered. Based on the three different design parameters and the multi-sliding mode surface …of the thickness of the saturated layer, the adaptive controller based on multi-sliding mode is designed. This controller is used to set up the dynamic characteristics of some observable measurements in the multi-infeed AC/DC transmission system. Based on the setting results, the results of the comprehensive decision of the system are obtained by the adaptive fuzzy controller. According to the results of a comprehensive decision, the disturbance degree of feedback point is judged. Through the fuzzy algorithm based onthe second component function, the weighting matrices of the output feedback gain matrix are modified, so that the optimal control feedback gain is variable gain, to ensure that the control effect of the system meet the multi-objective control of engineering, and realizing the multi-sliding mode adaptive fuzzy controller ofthe multi-infeed AC/DC transmission system. The experimental results show that the designed multi-sliding mode adaptive fuzzy controller has good control effect on multi-infeed AC/DC transmission system, and has strong adaptability, and it can improve the dynamic performance of the system.

Abstract: In traditional clustering algorithm, the number of classes must be set beforehand and it is difficult in setting parameters. For uncertain environment, the precision of clustering is low and the scalability is poor. To address these problems, a new fuzzy clustering algorithm for interactive multi-sensor probabilistic data is proposed in this paper. The optimal hierarchical fusion algorithm with no prior knowledge is used to sort the sensors used for fusion according to the quality and the importance of information. The fusion of the first layer is the fusion of probabilistic data of two interactive sensors. The fusion of the second …layer is the fusion of the fusion results of the first layer and the probability data of the other sensor to obtain the final fusion results. On this basis, the fuzzy C mean clustering algorithm is proposed to cluster the interactive multi-sensor probabilistic data. Wireless sensor networks are dynamic, and it is difficult to determine the number of classes beforehand. Subtraction clustering algorithm is used to adaptively determine the number of classes and the initial cluster center though building mountain function as the data density index. Thus, the convergence speed of the algorithm is accelerated and the local optimum is avoided. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has high clustering accuracy and good scalability.

Abstract: The traditional abnormal location algorithm ignores the uncertainty of wireless sensor networks, which is not suitable for practical applications, and has low accuracy of location. To address this problem, a new fuzzy weighted location algorithm for abnormal target in wireless sensor networks is proposed in this paper. For the characteristics of spatiotemporal association and association of non-spatiotemporal attribute, the abnormal target is identified by multi-attribute association algorithm. Considering that Bayesian networks can effectively express dependencies between variables, Bayesian networks are used to establish the dependency model of non-spatiotemporal attribute. The dependence structure of non-spatiotemporal attributes is obtained by structure learning. …The parameter learning of each node of the network structure is carried out to obtain the conditional probability table. The confidence degree of attribute association is used to judge whether the attribute association pattern of the point to be detected is an abnormal pattern. The abnormal target location problem is described. The coordinates of sensor node with abnormal target are identified by the weighted location algorithm. The circles with the centers of three points not on a straight line and the diameter of the signal intensity indicator distance are drawn to obtain the abnormal target position. The weights for weighted location are obtained by fuzzy algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has high accuracy of location. Show more

Abstract: When the current algorithm encrypts cloud computing user behavior data, it cannot effectively resist external attacks. When there are many feature data, the encryption performance is poor. To solve this problem, a secondary encryption algorithm for data based on coupled control game mechanism is proposed. The piecewise linear chaotic maps and Fibonacci sequence perturbations are utilized to obtain pseudo-random numbers and improve the key’s mapping space, and can effectively defend against threats and attacks. Based on the piecewise linear chaotic map encryption algorithm, the discrete chaotic integrated map encryption algorithm based on the coupled control game mechanism is adopted. After …group-based encryption, the user behavior feature data is mapped into the encryption source-optimization evolution structure, and encrypted mapping is performed piecewisely. The encrypted data is used as the seed-derived set in the coupled control game mechanism, and the competition mechanism is adopted to perform the second discrete chaotic optimization on the encrypted data. The encrypted data ciphertext with the lowest chaotic discrete coefficient and the best game performance is selected as the output results of the coupled control game. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the encryption performance and improve the operation security of cloud computing network. Show more

Abstract: At present, special domain image encryption and compression algorithms have problems such as poor encryption and image compression, long time consuming of encryption and compression, and no guarantee of image compression quality. In this regard, this paper proposes an encryption and compression algorithm for spatial domain image selection based on hyperchaotic system. The hyperchaotic Chen system is selected to decompose the dynamics of the hyperchaotic system. The decomposition result is replaced by image scrambling, and the chaotic sequence output from the hyperchaotic Chen system is preprocessed. The two groups of sequences are used to complete the image scrambling so that …the image is encrypted for the first time. The discrete cosine basis is applied to make sparse representation of the original image after scrambling. The partial Hadamard matrix, which is controlled by the Logistic chaotic map, is used as the measurement matrix in the compressed sensing, and the two-dimensional projection measurement of the image is done to complete the image compression. The hyperchaotic Chen system is used to cyclically shift the projection results to change the pixel value of the image, and the final cipher image is obtained. The experimental results show that the algorithm anti-attack coefficient is 0.99, the average compression time is 7 s, and the compressed image has high resolution and strong confidentiality. The proposed algorithm is superior to the current algorithm in security and other performance, and can provide support for this field. Show more

An upper computer, a motor drive module, an ultrasonic ranging sensor module, an infrared sensor module, an electronic compass module, a communication module, a power supply module and peripheral circuits are connected to form the system hardware. After the system is initialized, the robot starts to work according to instructions of the upper computer and enters the self-adaptive obstacle avoidance subroutine. In the …subroutine, the ultrasonic sensor scans the infrared sensor output at the corresponding position. After receiving reflection information of the ultrasonic wave, the counter is stopped, and reflection time of the ultrasonic wave is simply calculated and cached into the buffer, so as to determine whether there is an obstacle in front, and the result is fed back to the upper computer through the RS485 bus. If there is an obstacle, then the interrupt program will be called, and the electronic compass program is utilized to determine the direction to avoid the obstacle; if there is no obstacle, the robot will continue to move following instructions of the upper computer to complete the system software design. Experiments show that the average time to avoid obstacles using this system is 0.40 s, and the obstacle avoidance accuracy is high and the stability is good. Under the data comparison and analysis, the proposed system is obviously superior to current systems in the time-consuming and accuracy of obstacle avoidance, and has great reliability. Show more

The quality of the feature directly affects the recognition performance and the uncertainty is high. In addition, it needs supervision and training, and has the higher training time and space complexity.

Abstract: The traditional global convergence optimization algorithm is prone to premature convergence and slow convergence in the face of complex non-convex function. To this end, a new intelligent optimization algorithm based on improved fuzzy algorithm for global convergence of non-convex function is proposed. The general model of the optimal problem is designed and the general model of non-convex function is established. The genetic algorithm is used to optimize the non-convex function, and the global convergence of the current non-convex function is analyzed. It is found that the global convergence of non-convex function is actually based on the optimization of crossover probability …and mutation probability to decide the convergence of genetic algorithm, so as to improve the global convergence. A fuzzy controller is designed, which determines the input and output variables and their membership functions, establishes fuzzy rules and anti-fuzzing process to control the crossover rate. The fuzzy control of mutation rate is similar to the crossover rate, but the difference is that the new fuzzy control rule is needed. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively optimize the global convergence of non-convex function. Show more

Abstract: From the mathematical point of view, the goal of ontology learning is to obtain the dimensionality function f : ℝ p → ℝ , and the p -dimensional vector corresponding to the ontology vertex is mapped into one-dimensional real number. In the background of big data applications, the ontology concept corresponds to the high complexity of information, and thus sparse tricks are used in ontology learning algorithm. Through the ontology sparse vector learning, the ontology function f is obtained via ontology sparse vector β, and then applied to ontology similarity computation and …ontology mapping. In this paper, the ontology optimization strategy is obtained by coordinate descent and dual optimization, and the optimal solution is obtained by iterative procedure. Furthermore, the greedy method and active sets are applied in the iterative process. Two experiments are presented where we will apply our algorithm to plant science for ontology similarity measuring and to mathematics ontologies for ontology mapping, respectively. The experimental data show that our primal dual based ontology sparse vector learning algorithm has high efficiency. Show more

Abstract: Identifying the number of niches in multimodal optimization is vital to enhancement of efficiency of algorithms. This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA)-based clustering method for multiple optimal determinations. The approach uses self-organizing map (SOM) neural networks to detect clusters in GA population. After clustering all population and recognizing the number of niches, the phenotypic space is partitioned. Within each partition, a simple GA is independently running to evolve to the actual optima. Before the SOM starts, we allow GA to run several generations until the borders of clusters are identified. Our proposed algorithm is easy to implement, and does …not require any prior knowledge about the fitness function. The algorithm was tested for seven multimodal functions and four constrained engineering optimization functions, and the results have been compared with the other related algorithms based on three performance criteria. We found that the present algorithm has acceptable diversification and function evaluation number. Show more

Abstract: Due to increasing the demand of electrical energy and non-economic development of the centralized power plant, the electrical industry has been tended toward using the decentralized power plant and distributed generation sources (DGS). In this paper, a three-area re-structured power system with the participation of DGS, hydro power plant, thermal power plant, wind turbine with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and photovoltaic system have been studied. The DGS due to the low capacity production and lack of cost effectiveness will not be participating in the electricity marketing. Injection the energy to power system by the DGS and how to participate …these resources in the automatic generation control (AGC) is controlled by a separate controller (not main controller). This controller is designed based on the optimal fuzzy logic controller (OFLC). Load of this system has been considered as a random variable that continuously and randomly has the fluctuation number of 0.3 around nominal amount. Fluctuations occurred because of considering the load as a random variable and participation of the wind-powered turbine with DFIG, photovoltaic system and DGS as a source of generation in power system. Since the wind turbine and photovoltaic system don’t produce power in the whole day, in this study capacitive energy storage (CES) units will be used parallel with this renewable energy source. To improve the response of power system, PID and OFLC will be utilized. Controller parameters can be optimized with three intelligent algorithms such as Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm and finally the results will be compared with each other.

Abstract: Development of digital content has increased the necessity of copyright protection using watermarking. Imperceptibility and robustness are two important features of watermarking algorithms. The goal of watermarking methods is to satisfy the tradeoff between these two contradicting characteristics. Recently, watermarking methods in transform domains have displayed favorable results. In this paper, we present an adaptive blind watermarking method, which has high imperceptibility in areas that are important to the human visual system. We propose a fuzzy system to control the embedding strength factor adaptively. Image saliency, intensity, and edge-concentration are shown to be important to a human observer and are …hence used as fuzzy attributes. Embedding is performed in the discrete cosine transform of the wavelet domain to achieve high imperceptibility and acceptable robustness. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm over comparable methods. Show more

Abstract: This paper presents a Feedback Visual Background extractor (FViBe) method for salient foreground detection in urban traffic scenes to efficiently resolve deficiencies that the background subtraction model is easily contaminated by temporarily stopped or slow motions objects. The background template is constructed based on the history of recently observed pixel samples and each pixel is assigned counters to describe the corresponding traffic state and stability. The threshold for salient foreground decision is set adaptively according to stability of scenes, and model update depends on the feedback current traffic state and the stability. The overall results obtained with the real-world urban …traffic videos are presented to demonstrate that the FViBe achieves better performance of both visual comparison and quantitative evaluation than other state-of-the-art methods, particularly in the slow motions or temporarily stopped objects traffic scenario. Moreover, the experimental results show that the FViBe is suitable for real-time implementation in salient foreground detection of the urban traffic scenario. Show more

Abstract: With the rapid proliferation of information technology, researchers find it more and more difficult to rapidly find appropriate reference papers for an authoring paper. Citation recommendation aims to overcome this problem by providing a list of reference papers given a query document. There exist various aspects in bibliographic literature acting as paper’s scholarly roles, such as paper’s content, paper’s author, citation behavior, paper’s topic. We argue that combining different kinds of paper’s scholarly roles can enhance citation recommendation performance. Based on it, we propose a network correlation based query-oriented citation recommendation approach. We first construct a semantic network and a …citation network, these two networks consist of the same vertices but different edge connection. Then we build correlations of these two networks and select the top features to calculate the semantic similarities of the query paper and scientific papers. Finally, we choose the top ranked scientific papers as the recommended citation list. When evaluating on the AAN dataset, the experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Abstract: In this study, the performance analysis of Fuzzy Self Tuning (FST) control method for Bridgeless Power Factor Correction (PFC) converter is proposed. The Bridgeless PFC converter based on FST method operates AC line rectification to result in DC output voltage without full-bridge rectifier. The proposed method generates the duty cycles to provide higher Unity Power Factor (UPF) and lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of input current, even if AC line voltage consists of harmonics. Although Ziegler-Nichols method is very important to tune the coefficients of PI control method, it cannot guarantee to be always effective. For this reason, this study …investigates the design of FST control method that tunes the coefficients of Kp , and Ki gains that are used into inner and outer control loops. These parameters are self-tuned to make them more general, to achieve minimum steady-state error, and to improve the dynamic behavior such as overshoot. Performance of proposed system was implemented for 1 kW Bridgeless PFC converter board with a TMS320F2812 DSP. The simulation and experimental results are compatible with the limits for harmonic current emissions, IEC 61000-3-2 and show that the proposed method is better than traditional ones. Show more

Abstract: This paper develops an hesitant 2-tuple linguistic preference relation (H2TLPR) in which the pairwise comparisons are represented by hesitant 2-tuple linguistic sets (H2TLSs) and then, uses the additive consistency concept for linguistic fuzzy preference relations to give an additive consistency definition for H2TLPRs. Two iterative optimization methods, namely, feedback optimization method (FOM) and automatic optimization method (AOM) are proposed to obtain a solution with a desired consistency index of H2TLPR. In the FOM, the decision makers (DMs) are suggested to give their new preference values in a specific range. If the DMs/experts are unwilling to offer their updated preferences, the …AOM is proposed to carry out the consistency improvement process. A score H2TLPR is proposed, and then introduced hesitant 2-tuple linguistic weighted averaging (H2TLWA) operator for the aggregation of H2TLPRs. Furthermore, the quantifier-guided dominance degrees are used to obtain hesitant 2-tuple linguistic ordered weighted averaging (H2TLOWA) operator weights. Finally, a case study is carried out, showing the potentials of the methodology by using the H2TLPRs and the optimization methods, and evaluating the selection of a best investment company that’s interested in the construction of one of the main infrastructure project of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Abstract: As the dynamic kernel of natural gas pipeline infrastructure, centrifugal compressor unit and its status of health hold a crucial impact on the regular operation of the pipeline system. In order to keep track of the state of the centrifugal compressor unit, monitoring parameters are taken as the indexes for state evaluation. However, with the increasing complexity of monitoring systems, how to select appropriate parameters among numerous monitoring parameters and to establish a rational index system becomes an urgent problem in the process of state evaluation. In traditional, the indexes are selected with expert experience, ignoring the correlation between the …monitoring parameters, which results in information redundancy in state evaluation. Besides, the monitoring parameters of auxiliary systems are usually not taken into consideration. For improving the performance of the index system, namely to reduce the information redundancy and to broaden the coverage, a time lag based correlation analysis model (TLCAM) is proposed in this paper for index selection. In the TLCAM, Erdem correlation coefficient (ECC), which takes the lag difference into account, is used to depict the coupling correlation between the monitoring parameters. Meanwhile, a neighborhood extreme value method (NEVM) is proposed to calculate the ECC. Hereafter, the monitoring parameters are classified through incorporating the advantage of information entropy into the density-peak based clustering (CDP). Consequently, an index system with less redundancy and wider coverage is established for the state evaluation of centrifugal compressor unit. At the end, correlation analysis and sensitivity analysis are performed on the two index systems respectively obtained from expert knowledge and TLCAM to compare their performance. The result shows that the index system established by using TLCAM is more sensitive to some early faults and contains less information redundancy. Moreover, it covers more critical components of the whole unit. Show more

Abstract: Employee performance evaluations are one type of decision-making process that is embedded with uncertainty and ambiguity before concluding the final index. After reviewing different approaches to achieving such target, this paper introduces the implementation of fuzzification mechanism termed as “Fuzzimetric Sets” as a method of defining the minimum and maximum tolerance possibilities within pre-defined fuzzy sets. Decision-making evaluation process would be dependent on the inferred minimum to maximum defuzzified differences (spectrum). Based on this concept, a prototype was built to measure the employee performance level allowing much more flexibility when taking a decision under uncertainty. This application was termed as …“Fuzzimetric Employee Evaluation System” (FEES). Comparative study of FEES was done by comparing the results of the work of another researcher investigated the same field of Fuzzy-employee-evaluation. Show more

Abstract: Typical process is a sample process which can reflect processes of a group of similar parts. As a kind of process knowledge it can be referred to for the process planning of new parts. In this paper a methodology of typical process discovery for body-in-white (BIW) parts, based on the distance (i.e. dissimilarity) between processes, is proposed. The process for BIW part is divided into assembly positioning, joining, and quality inspection operations, in accordance with the typical assembly; the assembly oriented typical process is extracted based on these three operations. The distances of assembly positioning, joining, and quality inspection are …calculated respectively using different measuring methods. The distance between processes is calculated as the sum of the assembly positioning, joining, and quality inspection distances. Furthermore, the clustering algorithm is applied to form the process clusters according to the distances between processes. The mean variances of the distance between processes in the cluster are calculated. The process with the minimum mean variance in the cluster is selected as the typical process. Finally, a case study is used to show the procedure of the typical processes acquisition for BIW and validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Show more

Abstract: Micro-expressions reveal a person’s true feelings and motivations, and they can be so subtle that they are difficult to recognize. Micro-expression recognition can be used for criminal justice and national security. The existing methods usually extract the same micro-expression features from three different orthogonal planes, but cannot accurately reflect the characteristics of different space features, so the actual recognition rate is low. According to the motion and appearance information of micro-expression sequences in the temporal domain and spatial domain, this paper proposes a micro-expression recognition method based on spatiotemporal features selection. The Improved Local Directional Number Pattern (ILDNP) in the …spatial domain and the Pyramid of Histograms of Orientation Gradients without Edge Extraction (PHOG-WEE) in the temporal domain are extracted individually and fused in the spatiotemporal domain to be a micro-expression feature, and then classified by the Support Vector Machine (SVM). Compared with the state-of-the-art LBP-TOP, HOG-TOP, HIGO-TOP, LBPSIP and Gabor algorithms on the SMIC, CASME and CASME II databases, experiments show that the proposed method has a better performance in describing the texture features of different planes, as well as a higher recognition rate on micro-expressions.

This paper develops an intuitionistic fuzzy CODAS method, namely Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy CODAS (IVIF-CODAS), and introduces it to the literature first time. The objective of our paper is to make a multi-criteria decision under intuitionistic fuzzy uncertainty by taking the hesitancy of decision makers into consideration based on both Euclidean and Taxicab distances according to the negative-ideal …point. To show the effectiveness of the developed method, an application is given for wave energy facility location selection in Turkey and the obtained results are compared with crisp CODAS method’s.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss the uncertainty in soft graphs and a new type of graphs, called Z -soft rough fuzzy graphs is introduced. The notions of Z -soft rough vertex graphs, Z -soft rough edge graphs and Z -soft rough fuzzy graphs are given, and their related properties are explored. The theory of graph approximation space is developed. To validate the applicability of Z -soft rough fuzzy graphs, we put forward an innovative approach to multicriteria group decision making problems.
