Interval-Valued Fuzzy System for Segmentation of Prostate Ultrasound Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce an application of intervalvalued systems to the segmentation of prostate ultrasound images. The system classifies each pixel as prostate or background. The input variables are the values of each pixel in different processed images as proximity, edginess and enhanced image. The system has 20 rules and is trained with ideal images segmented by an expert. Interval-valued fuzzy systems have been used due to their potential to capture uncertainty in a more robust way compared to ordinary fuzzy systems. Keywords— Interval-valued fuzzy sets, ultrasound image, image segmentation

Interval-Valued Restricted Equivalence Functions Applied on Clustering Techniques
In this work we use interval-valued fuzzy sets in the Fuzzy C-Means algorithm for image segmentation. We introduce interval-valued restricted equivalence functions as a way of measuring the equivalence between the intervals associated to different pixels. We propose two construction methods for those new functions. We also prove experimentally that with these new concepts, the algorithm provide...
متن کاملINTERVAL-VALUED FUZZY B-ALGEBRAS
In this note the notion of interval-valued fuzzy B-algebras (briefly,i-v fuzzy B-algebras), the level and strong level B-subalgebra is introduced.Then we state and prove some theorems which determine the relationshipbetween these notions and B-subalgebras. The images and inverse images ofi-v fuzzy B-subalgebras are defined, and how the homomorphic images andinverse images of i-v fuzzy B-subalge...

متن کاملRobust 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 کاملAntipodal Interval-Valued Fuzzy Graphs
Concepts of graph theory have applications in many areas of computer science including data mining, image segmentation, clustering, image capturing, networks, etc . An interval-valued fuzzy set is a generalization of the notion of a fuzzy set. Interval-valued fuzzy models give more precision, flexibility and compatibility to the system as compared to the fuzzy models. In this paper, we introduc...
