Abstract

Zadeh (4) introduced the notion of fuzzy set theory and Goetcherian (6) showed how fuzzy logic could extend a variety of binary image processes into a multi-valued (grey image) domain. This paper introduces the basics of fuzzy set theory and discusses the suitability of the physically parallel CLIP machine for implementing the multi-valued operators. A form of spatial filtering is explained and its application to shape discrimination and image segmentation is shown. Finally, an application to a real image processing problem is illustrated.
