Estimating the term…
A health monitoring system for complex networked apparatus includes a number of neuro-fuzzy inference apparatuses feeding inference results into a data fusion hierarchy. At each level in the hierarchy, fuzzy inference is applied to generate a desired output signal by processing selected input signals in accordance with a knowledge base defining fuzzy membership functions and fuzzy inference rules defined in advance. The knowledge base includes alternative definitions of membership functions and/or inference rules. The apparatus selects which definition to use according to environmental or other conditions, and predetermined selection criteria.
A method of performing a fuzzy inference implemented in a programmable data processor or computer, the method comprising:
An automated system for monitoring or control of a target apparatus, said system comprising an inference apparatus arranged to receive a plurality of input signals from sensors coupled to a target apparatus, to determine a set of membership degrees for each input and to perform fuzzy inference by a method comprising:
A computer program product containing instructions which, when loaded into a programmable processing apparatus, implements a fuzzy inference processing apparatus or method, said instructions comprising:
