A New Fuzzy Connectivity Class Application to Structural Recognition in Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fuzzy sets theory constitutes a poweful tool, that can lead to more robustness in problems such as image segmentation and recognition. This robustness results to some extent from the partial recovery of the continuity that is lost during digitization. Here we deal with fuzzy connectivity notions. We show that usual fuzzy connectivity definitions have some drawbacks, and we propose a new definition, based on the notion of hyperconnection, that exhibits better properties, in particular in terms of continuity. We illustrate the potential use of this definition in a recognition procedure based on connected filters. A max-tree representation is also used, in order to deal efficiently with the proposed connectivity.

Fuzzy attribute openings based on a new fuzzy connectivity class. Application to structural recognition in images
In problems such as image segmentation and recognition, the connectivity of target objects is a key feature. In the mathematical morphology framework, connected filters were derived from the classical connectivity theory but do not take into account the imperfections that can affect the image formation. The aim of this paper is twofold: (i) introduce a new class of connectivity for fuzzy object...

A new approach to define the similarity measure betweeninterval-valued fuzzy sets is presented. The proposed approach isbased on a weighted measure in which the normalized similaritiesbetween lower functions and also between upper functions arecombined by a weight parameter. The properties of this similaritymeasure are investigated. It is shown that, the proposed measurehas some advantages in c...
