The aim of this paper is to distinguish the vehicle detection and count the class number in each classification from the inputs. We proposed the use of Fuzzy Guided Scale Choice (FGSC)-based SSD deep neural network architecture for vehicle detection and class counting with parameter optimization. The 'FGSC' blocks are integrated into the convolutional layers of the model, which emphasize essential features while ignoring less important ones that are not significant for the operation. We created the passing detection lines and class counting windows and connected them with the proposed FGSC-SSD deep neural network model. The 'FGSC' blocks in the convolution layer emphasize essential features and find out unnecessary features by using the scale choice method at the training stage and eliminate that significant speedup of the model. In addition, FGSC blocks avoided many unusable parameters in the saturation interval and improved the performance efficiency. In addition, the Fuzzy Sigmoid Function (FSF) increases the activation interval through fuzzy logic. While performing operations, the FGSC-SSD model reduces the computational complexity of convolutional layers and their parameters. As a result, the model tested Frames Per Second (FPS) on edge artificial intelligence (AI) and reached a real-time processing speed of 38.4 and an accuracy rate of more than 94%. Therefore, this work might be considered an improvement to the traffic monitoring approach by using edge AI applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: This study proposes a Rule-Based Symbiotic MOdified Differential Evolution (RSMODE) for Self-Organizing Neuro-Fuzzy Systems (SONFS). The RSMODE adopts a multi-subpopulation scheme that uses each individual represents a single fuzzy rule and each individual in each subpopulation evolves separately. The proposed RSMODE learning algorithm consists of structure learning and parameter learning for the SONFS model. The structure learning can determine whether or not to generate a new rule-based subpopulation which satisfies the fuzzy partition of input variables using the entropy measure. The parameter learning combines two strategies including a subpopulation symbiotic evolution and a modified differential evolution. The RSMODE can automatically generate initial subpopulation and each individual in each subpopulation evolves separately using a modified differential evolution. Finally, the proposed method is applied in various simulations. Results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed RSMODE learning algorithm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: This paper introduces implementation of a wavelet neural network (WNN) with learning ability on field programmable gate array (FPGA). A learning algorithm using gradient descent method is not easy to implement in an electronic circuit and has local minimum. A more suitable method is the particle swarm optimization (PSO) that is a population-based optimization algorithm. The PSO is similar to the GA, but it has no evolution operators such as crossover and mutation. In the approximation of a nonlinear activation function, we use a Taylor series and a look-up table (LUT) to achieve a more accurate approximation. The results of the two experiments demonstrate the successful hardware implementation of the wavelet neural networks with the PSO algorithm using FPGA. From the results of the experiment, it can be seen that the performance of the PSO is better than that of the simultaneous perturbation algorithm at sufficient particle sizes.

Abstract: A recurrent wavelet-based neuro fuzzy network (RWNFN) is proposed in this paper. The proposed RWNFN integrates wavelet transforms with fuzzy rules. Temporal relations are embedded in the network by adding feedback connections from memory units in the third layer of a feedforward wavelet-based neuro fuzzy network (WNFN). The RWNFN augments the basic ability of the WNFN to overcome temporal problems. Moreover, an online learning algorithm is proposed to automatically construct the RWNFN. Computer simulations were conducted to illustrate the performance and applicability of the proposed system. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

This paper presents a wavelet-based recurrent fuzzy neural network (WRFNN) for prediction and identification of nonlinear dynamic systems. The proposed WRFNN model combines the traditional Thkagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy model and the wavelet neural networks (WNN). This paper adopts the nonorthogonal and compactly supported functions as wavelet neural network bases. Temporal relations embedded in the network are caused by adding some feedback connections representing the memory units into the second layer of the feedforward wavelet-based fuzzy neural networks (WFNN). An online learning algorithm, which consists of structure learning and parameter learning, is also presented. The structure learning depends on the degree measure to obtain the number of fuzzy rules and wavelet functions. Meanwhile, the parameter learning is based on the gradient descent method for adjusting the shape of the membership function and the connection weights of WNN. Finally, computer simulations have demonstrated that the proposed WRFNN model requires fewer adjustable parameters and obtains a smaller rms error than other methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
