Part family formation through fuzzy ART2 neural network

In order to overcome some unavoidable factors, like shift of the part, that influence the crisp neural networks' recognition, the present study is dedicated in developing a novel fuzzy neural network (FNN), which integrates both the fuzzy set theory and adaptive resonance theory 2 (ART2) neural network for grouping the parts into several families based on the image captured from the vision sensor. The proposed network possess the fuzzy inputs as well as the fuzzy weights. The model evaluation results showed that the proposed fuzzy neural network is able to provide more accurate results compared to the fuzzy self-organizing feature maps (SOM) neural network and fuzzy c-means algorithm.
