    Multimodal fuzzy fusion for enhancing the motor-imagery-based brain computer interface

    Brain–computer interface technologies, such as steady-state visually evoked potential, P300, and motor imagery are methods of communication between the human brain and the external devices. Motor imagery–based brain–computer interfaces are popular because they avoid unnecessary external stimulus. Although feature extraction methods have been illustrated in several machine intelligent systems in motor imagery-based brain–computer interface studies, the performance remains unsatisfactory. There is increasing interest in the use of the fuzzy integrals, the Choquet and Sugeno integrals, that are appropriate for use in applications in which fusion of data must consider possible data interactions. To enhance the classification accuracy of brain-computer interfaces, we adopted fuzzy integrals, after employing the classification method of traditional brain–computer interfaces, to consider possible links between the data. Subsequently, we proposed a novel classification framework called the multimodal fuzzy fusion-based brain-computer interface system. Ten volunteers performed a motor imagery-based brain-computer interface experiment, and we acquired electroencephalography signals simultaneously. The multimodal fuzzy fusion-based brain-computer interface system enhanced performance compared with traditional brain–computer interface systems. Furthermore, when using the motor imagery-relevant electroencephalography frequency alpha and beta bands for the input features, the system achieved the highest accuracy, up to 78.81% and 78.45% with the Choquet and Sugeno integrals, respectively. Herein, we present a novel concept for enhancing brain–computer interface systems that adopts fuzzy integrals, especially in the fusion for classifying brain–computer interface commands.

    Fuzzy integrals for edge detection
    (Springer, 2023) Marco Detchart, Cedric; Lucca, Giancarlo; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Da Cruz Asmus, Tiago; López Molina, Carlos; Borges, Eduardo N.; Rincón Arango, Jaime Andrés; Julian, Vicente; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
    In this work, we compare different families of fuzzy integrals in the context of feature aggregation for edge detection. We analyze the behaviour of the Sugeno and Choquet integral and some of its generalizations. In addition, we study the influence of the fuzzy measure over the extracted image features. For testing purposes, we follow the Bezdek Breakdown Structure for edge detection and compare the different fuzzy integrals with some classical feature aggregation methods in the literature. The results of these experiments are analyzed and discussed in detail, providing insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. The overall conclusion is that the configuration of the fuzzy measure does have a paramount effect on the results by the Sugeno integral, but also that satisfactory results can be obtained by sensibly tuning such parameter. The obtained results provide valuable guidance in choosing the appropriate family of fuzzy integrals and settings for specific applications. Overall, the proposed method shows promising results for edge detection and could be applied to other image-processing tasks.

    Sugeno integral generalization applied to improve adaptive image binarization
    (Elsevier, 2021) Bardozzo, Francesco; Osa Hernández, Borja de la; Horanská, Lubomíra; Fumanal Idocin, Javier; Priscoli, Mattia delli; Troiano, Luigi; Tagliaferri, Roberto; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, PI043-2019; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, PC093-094 TFIPDL
    Classic adaptive binarization methodologies threshold pixels intensity with respect to adjacent pixels exploiting integral images. In turn, integral images are generally computed optimally by using the summed-area-table algorithm (SAT). This document presents a new adaptive binarization technique based on fuzzy integral images. Which, in turn, this technique is supported by an efficient design of a modified SAT for generalized Sugeno fuzzy integrals. We define this methodology as FLAT (Fuzzy Local Adaptive Thresholding). Experimental results show that the proposed methodology produced a better image quality thresholding than well-known global and local thresholding algorithms. We proposed new generalizations of different fuzzy integrals to improve existing results and reaching an accuracy ≈0.94 on a wide dataset. Moreover, due to high performances, these new generalized Sugeno fuzzy integrals created ad hoc for adaptive binarization, can be used as tools for grayscale processing and more complex real-time thresholding applications.
