Summary
Defines a fuzzy membership function through a linear transformation between the user-specified minimum value, a membership of 0, to the user-defined maximum value, which is assigned a membership of 1.
Discussion
The tool that uses the FuzzyLinear object: Fuzzy Membership.
The Linear function is useful when the smaller values linearly increase in membership to the larger values for a positive slope and opposite for a negative slope.
The Linear function does not work with negative numbers.
Syntax
FuzzyLinear (minimum, maximum)
Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
minimum | The value that will have a membership of 0. If the minimum value is less than the maximum, the linear function will have a positive slope. If the minimum value is greater than the maximum, the linear function will have a negative slope. (The default value is Minimum of the input) | Double |
maximum | The value that will have a membership of 1. If the maximum value is greater than the minimum, the linear function will have a positive slope. If the maximum value is less than the minimum, the linear function will have a negative slope. (The default value is Maximum of the input) | Double |
Properties
Property | Explanation | Data Type |
minimum (Read and Write) | The value that will have a membership of 0. If the minimum value is less than the maximum, the linear function will have a positive slope. If the minimum value is greater than the maximum, the slope will have a negative slope. | Double |
maximum (Read and Write) | The value that will have a membership of 1. If the maximum value is greater than the minimum, the linear function will have a positive slope. If the maximum value is less than the minimum, the slope will have a negative slope. | Double |
Code sample
Demonstrates how to create a FuzzyLinear class and use it in the FuzzyMembership tool within the Python window.
import arcpy
from arcpy.sa import *
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "c:/sapyexamples/data"
outFzyMember = FuzzyMembership("as_std", FuzzyLinear(12, 16))
outFzyMember.save("c:/sapyexamples/fzyline")
Performs a FuzzyMembership using the FuzzyLinear class.
