Fuzzy and Bipolar Mathematical Morphology, Applications in Spatial Reasoning
نویسنده
چکیده
Mathematical morphology is based on the algebraic framework of complete lattices and adjunctions, which endows it with strong properties and allows for multiple extensions. In particular, extensions to fuzzy sets of the main morphological operators, such as dilation and erosion, can be done while preserving all properties of these operators. Another, more recent, extension, concerns bipolar fuzzy sets. These extensions have numerous applications, two of each being presented here. The first one concerns the definition of spatial relations, for applications in spatial reasoning and model-based recognition of structures in images. The second one concerns the handling of the bipolarity feature of spatial information.

Integrating Bipolar Fuzzy Mathematical Morphology in Description Logics for Spatial Reasoning
Bipolarity is an important feature of spatial information, involved in the expression of preferences and constraints about spatial positioning or in pairs of opposite spatial relations such as left and right. Another important feature is imprecision which has to be taken into account to model vagueness, inherent to many spatial relations (as for instance vague expressions such as close to, to t...
متن کاملBipolar Fuzzy Spatial Information: Geometry, Morphology, Spatial Reasoning
Spatial information may be endowed with a bipolarity component. Typical examples concern possible vs forbidden places for an object in space, or “opposite” spatial relations such as “possibly to the right of an object and certainly not to its left”. However, bipolarity has not been much exploited in the spatial domain yet. Moreover, imprecision has often to be taken into account as well, for in...
متن کاملBipolar Fuzzy Mathematical Morphology for Spatial Reasoning
Bipolarity is an important feature of spatial information, involved in the expressions of preferences and constraints about spatial positioning, or in pairs of “opposite” spatial relations such as left and right. Imprecision should also be taken into account, and fuzzy sets is then an appropriate formalism. In this paper, we propose to handle such information based on mathematical morphology op...
متن کاملMathematical morphology on bipolar fuzzy sets
In many domains, it is important to be able to deal with bipolar information [5]. Positive information represents what is granted to be possible (for instance because it has already been observed or experienced), while negative information represents what is impossible (or forbidden, or surely false). This domain has recently motivated work in several directions. In particular, fuzzy and possib...
متن کاملGeometry of Spatial Bipolar Fuzzy Sets Based on Bipolar Fuzzy Numbers and Mathematical Morphology
We propose in this paper new tools for dealing with bipolar fuzzy spatial information: particular geometrical objects are defined, as well as measures such as cardinality and perimeter, represented as bipolar fuzzy numbers. A definition of distance from a point to a bipolar fuzzy set is introduced as well. These definitions are based on mathematical morphology operators, recently proposed in th...
