TL;DR: A robust approach to image enhancement based on fuzzy logic that addresses the seemingly conflicting goals of image enhancement: removing impulse noise, smoothing out nonimpulse noise, and enhancing (or preserving) edges and certain other salient structures is proposed.

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a robust approach to image enhancement based on fuzzy logic that addresses the seemingly conflicting goals of image enhancement: (i) removing impulse noise, (ii) smoothing out nonimpulse noise, and (iii) enhancing (or preserving) edges and certain other salient structures. We derive three different filters for each of the above three tasks using the weighted (or fuzzy) least squares (LS) method, and define the criteria for selecting each of the three filters. The criteria are based on the local context, and they constitute the antecedent clauses of the fuzzy rules. The overall result of the fuzzy rule-based system is the combination of the results of the individual filters, where each result contributes to the degree that the corresponding antecedent clause is satisfied. This approach gives us a powerful and flexible image enhancement paradigm. Results of the proposed method on several types of images are compared with those of other standard techniques.

V. Saradhadevi
- 01 Jan 2011
TL;DR: A novel two-stage noise removal technique for image enhancement and noise removal and a Neural Network (NN) is proposed in order to improve the sensitive regions with higher visual quality.
Fast inference in SAM fuzzy systems using transition matrices
TL;DR: Fast inference using transition matrices (FITM) is a new fast algorithm for performing inferences in fuzzy systems based on the assumption that fuzzy inputs can be expressed as a linear composition of the fuzzy sets used in the rule base.

Performances of linear tools and models for error detection and concealment in subband image transmission
TL;DR: The reconstruction via linear prediction is shown to give better results than median filtering based reconstruction, and error detection through this Gaussian model shows promising results, in particular when channel statistics are taken into account in a joint source-channel decoding framework.

Scale-space and edge detection using anisotropic diffusion
Pietro Perona,Jitendra Malik +1 more
TL;DR: A new definition of scale-space is suggested, and a class of algorithms used to realize a diffusion process is introduced, chosen to vary spatially in such a way as to encourage intra Region smoothing rather than interregion smoothing.
Outline of a New Approach to the Analysis of Complex Systems and Decision Processes
Lotfi A. Zadeh
- 01 Jan 1973
TL;DR: By relying on the use of linguistic variables and fuzzy algorithms, the approach provides an approximate and yet effective means of describing the behavior of systems which are too complex or too ill-defined to admit of precise mathematical analysis.
