Application of fuzzy pattern recognition in burden surface identification

A kind of pattern recognition method with Fuzzy clustering is applied to identify the burden surface of blast furnace. According to the information of burden surface distribution, the target clustering analysis is used to set up a standard model database. Based on the character of distribution, each target burden surface is matched into different standard model database by using fuzzy pattern recognition method. Maximal minimal similarity method is adapted in the course of fuzzy pattern recognition. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
