Connected filters are widely used filters in image processing, and their implementation highly benefits from tree representations of images, called max-trees. Extending these filters to fuzzy sets, which may be used to represent imprecision on gray levels in fuzzy gray-level images, requires frequent manipulations of these trees. In this paper we propose efficient algorithms to update tree repr...

In this paper, we define the notions of fuzzy congruence relations and fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice and we obtain some related results. In particular, we will show that there exists a one to one correspondence between the set of all fuzzy congruence relations and the set of all fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice. Then we study fuzzy...

In this paper, spatial neighboring pixels are used to deal with blocking and ringing artifacts while temporal neighboring pixels are utilized to remove mosquito and flickering artifacts. To avoid the blurring effect of linear filters, a fuzzy filter is implemented. Fuzzy filter is a specific case of bilateral filters [15], [16]. Fuzzy filters help denoising the artifacts while retaining the sha...

A fuzzy approach is proposed here for restoring color images that are corrupted with additive noise. The proposed fuzzy approach consists of two sub-filters, where the first fuzzy sub-filter computes the fuzzy distances between the color components of the central pixel and its neighborhood using Gaussian combination membership function, and the second sub-filter corrects the pixels where color ...

The notion of filter is established in fuzzy class theory. Graded properties of filters, prime filters and related concepts are investigated. In particular we study properties of filters relativized with respect to the basic three t-norms: Gödel, product, and Lukasiewicz. It is shown that our approach gives rise to a broad class of models including probability and necessity measures on fuzzy se...

The paper relates a principle for designing the fuzzy fault detection filters devoted to a class of continuous-time nonlinear systems represented by TakagiSugeno models. The extension of the fuzzy reference model principle and the incremental quadratic constraints are proposed to obtain an approximation of H∞/H_ criterion in the residual weight matrix parameter design for TS fuzzy fault detecti...

Considering a commutative unital quantale L as the truth value table and using the tool of L-generalized convergence structures of stratified L-filters, this paper introduces a kind of fuzzy upper topology, called fuzzy S-upper topology, on L-preordered sets. It is shown that every fuzzy join-preserving L-subset is open in this topology. When L is a complete Heyting algebra, for every completel...

annihilation or reduction of each kind of noise blended in correct data signals is a field that has attracted many researchers. it is a fact that fuzzy theory presents full capability in this field. fuzzy filters are often strong in smoothing corrupted signals, whereas they have simple structures. in this paper, a new powerful yet simple fuzzy procedure is introduced for sharpness reduction in ...
