Fuzzy segmentation of color images and indexing of fuzzy regions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on applications of fuzzy segmentation in region indexing and image retrieval. First, our algorithm of fuzzy segmentation is shortly explained. Some features characterizing a fuzzy region are then defined, and a distance between fuzzy regions is proposed. This distance can be used to rank regions on color and/or shape features or to perform a partial request from a image, request consisting in a set of regions.

Fuzzy segmentation is an effective way of segmenting out objects in images containing both random noise and varying illumination. In this paper, a modified method based on the Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (CLPSO) is proposed for pixel classification in HSI color space by selecting a fuzzy classification system with minimum number of fuzzy rules and minimum number of incorr...

متن کاملIndexing of Fuzzy Regions
This paper first exposes an algorithm that leads to fuzzy segmentation of color images. This algorithm performs, as in the watershed method, a progressive flood of the gradient image from pixels of lowest gradients. Membership degrees of pixels to regions depend on topographic distance, which takes into account both the distance to the core and the gradient norms. Geometric and colorimetric fea...
