Type 2 fuzzy sets and neuro-fuzzy clustering of radiographic tibia images

This paper is concerned with pre-processing of data for submission to neural networks. In particular the use of type 2 fuzzy sets to assist in this process is discussed and the results of using type 2 sets with FuzzyART is presented for clustering of radiographic tibia images. These results indicate that the approach out performs a type 1 approach, for certain tibia problems, and that the type 2 solution assisted the expert in analysing a set of images that he was unable to classify originally.
