Fuzzy modelling of visual texture: coarseness, contrast and directionality properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
The analysis of the perceptual properties of texture plays a fundamental role in tasks like semantic description of images or content-based image retrieval using linguistic queries. In this paper, we propose to model these properties by means of fuzzy sets defined on the domain of some representative measures. In our approach, the membership functions associated to these fuzzy sets are obtained by learning a functional relationship between the computational values given by the measures and the human perception of the properties. The performance of each fuzzy set is analyzed and tested with human assessments, allowing us to identify the most suitable model to represent each property.

Fuzzy Descriptors based on Color, Coarseness, Directionality and Contrast for Image Retrieval
In this paper the concept of fuzzy descriptor as a level-two fuzzy set to represent some visual features is proposed. In particular, a fuzzy descriptor based on the dominance of color and texture features is defined and applied to image retrieval. For this purpose, the color and texture are modelled using fuzzy sets, taking into account the imprecision related to these visual features. In addit...
متن کاملDefining A Fuzzy Partition for Coarseness Modelling in Texture Images
In this paper, the texture feature ”coarseness” is modelled by means of a fuzzy partition on the domain of coarseness measures. The number of linguistic labels to be used, and the parameters of the membership functions associated to each fuzzy set are calculated relating representative coarseness measures (our reference set) with the human perception of this texture property. A wide variety of ...
متن کاملFuzzy Sets for Image Texture Modelling Based on Human Distinguishability of Coarseness
In this paper, the “coarseness” texture property is modelled by means of fuzzy sets, relating representative coarseness measures (our reference set) with the human perception of this type of feature. In our study, a wide variety of measures are analyzed, and the coarseness human perception are collected from polls filled by subjects. The capability of each measure to discriminate different coar...
متن کاملRetrieving Texture Images Using Coarseness Fuzzy Partitions
In this paper, a Fuzzy Dominant Texture Descriptor is proposed for semantically describing an image. This fuzzy descriptor is defined over a set of fuzzy sets modelling the “coarseness” texture property. Concretely, fuzzy partitions on the domain of coarseness measures are proposed, where the number of linguistic labels and the parameters of the membership functions are calculated relating repr...
متن کاملModelling Coarseness in Texture Images by Means of Fuzzy Sets
In this paper we model the concept of ”coarseness”, typically used in texture image descriptions, by means of fuzzy sets. Specifically, we relate representative measures of this kind of texture with its presence degree. To obtain these ”presence degrees”, we collect assessments from polls filled by human subjects, performing an aggregation of these assessments by means of OWA operators. Using t...
