Most decision making methods used to evaluate a system or demonstrate the weak and strength points are based on fuzzy sets and evaluate the criteria with words that are modeled with fuzzy sets. The ambiguity and vagueness of the words and different perceptions of a word are not considered in these methods. For this reason, the decision making methods that consider the perceptions of decision...

This special issue encompasses five papers devoted to the recent developments in the field of Computing with Words and Decision Making. The issue originated from presentations at the “8th International FLINS Conference on Computational Intelligence in Decision and Control” that was held in Madrid, Spain, September 21–24th, 2008. Every paper for the special issue was reviewed by at least two ref...

To date, the overwhelming use of motion in computational vision has been to recover the three-dimensional structure of the scene. We propose that there are other, more powerful, uses for motion. Toward this end, we deene dynamic perceptual organization as an extension of the traditional (static) perceptual organization approach. Just as static perceptual organization groups coherent features in...

Perceptual linearization has been advocated for medical image presentation, both for the faithful reproduction of images, and for standardizing the appearance across different display devices. At this time, few studies have attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of a post-processing perceptual linearization step. We have recently analyzed the methods for computing perceptual linearization rema...
