A generic fuzzy rule based technique for image segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many fuzzy clustering based techniques do not incorporate spatial relationships of the pixels, while all fuzzy rule-based image segmentation techniques tend to be very much application dependent. In most techniques, the structure of the membership functions are predefined and their parameters are either automatically or manually determined. This paper addresses the aforementioned problems by introducing a general fuzzy rule based image segmentation technique, which is application independent and can also incorporate the spatial relationships of the pixels. It also proposes the automatic defining of the structure of the membership functions. A qualitative comparison is made between the segmentation results using this method and the popular fuzzy c-means (FCM) applied to two types of images: light intensity (LI) and X-ray of human vocal tract. The results clear show that this method exhibits significant improvements over FCM for both types of images.

Robust Potato Color Image Segmentation using Adaptive Fuzzy Inference System
Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

متن کاملSegmentation Assisted Object Distinction for Direct Volume Rendering
Ray Casting is a direct volume rendering technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has vital applications in medical and biological imaging. Nevertheless, it is inherently open to cluttered classification results. It suffers from overlapping transfer function values and lacks a sufficiently powerful voxel parsing mechanism for object distinction. In this work, we are proposing an ...

The generic fuzzy rule-based image segmentation technique (GFRIS) does not produce good results for non-homogeneous reg’ons that possess abrupt changes in pixel intensity, because if fails to consider two important properties of perceptual grouping, namely surroundedness and connectedness. In this paper a new technique called exfended fuzzy rules for image segmentation (EFRIS) isproposed, which...
