Type II Fuzzy Image Segmentation

  • Chapter
Fuzzy Sets and Their Extensions: Representation, Aggregation and Models

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 220))

Abstract

Type II fuzzy sets are high-level representation of vague data with, compared to ordinary fuzzy sets, greater capability for uncertainty management. Theoretical aspects of type II fuzzy systems have been extensively investigated, and the research is still ongoing. Many image processing tasks accompanied with different types of imperfection. In this chapter, the applications of type II fuzzy sets for image segmentation will be discussed. Global and spatial type II segmentation schemes will be systematically introduced and examples will be provided.
