Abstract:

This report discusses the concepts and mathematical models needed to apply fuzzy system theory to contact management model assessment. The detection and classification of propagation models are essential components of contact tracking. The classification of propagation models is a pattern recognition problem, which is addressed in this report by using fuzzy system theory. The sensor data are modeled with fuzzy numbers, the decision rules are constructed using fuzzy rules, and the decision quality is evaluated by interval-valued certainties. This system is one key component to building a fuzzy expert system tracker. Fuzzy sets, Pattern recognition, Fuzzy logic. Fuzzy experts, Fuzzy expert systems.
