A fuzzy technique for image segmentation of color images

Abstract

Segmentation is one of the most important image processing steps towards image recognition and understanding. The largest area of an image can be easily segmented (crisp clusters), the association of most of the pixels to different clusters determined. It is the pixels between crisp clusters whose belongingness to adjacent clusters is not so clear. A pixel can belong to the closest cluster or in association with the neighboring pixels generate a new cluster. In this paper a fuzzy technique is presented which resolves these challenges.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
