Abstract

Exact mathematical representations of objects are not suitable for applications where object descriptions are vague or object data is imprecise or inadequate. This paper presents representation schemes for basic inexact geometric entities and their relationships based on fuzzy logic. The aim is to provide a foundation framework for the development of fuzzy geometric modelling which will be useful for both creative design and computer vision applications.
