Opis

This book will be highly useful to researchers in the area of pattern classification and computer vision as well as for academics and professionals. Combining theory and practice, the book presents several experimental results, all synthetic and real data, provided on a unified platform for pattern classification and object recognition.

Recenzje

"This two-volume textbook set is a quite elementary, but rather comprehensive, introduction to the field of soft computing, accessible not only for undergraduates in mathematics, but also for students in computer science and engineering. The presentation is essentially correct, offers figures for most of the notions it defines, and presents lots of detailed numerical examples. Volume 1 starts with an explanation of the notion of soft computing and continues with chapters on fuzzy sets, fuzzy operators, fuzzy relations, fuzzy logic, fuzzy implications, fuzzy if-then models, and rough sets. Volume 2 covers in separate chapters the topics of fuzzy reasoning, fuzzy reasoning based on the concept of similarity, and fuzzy control."
—Siegfried J. Gottwald, writing in Zentralblatt MATH, 1308
