Rough Fuzzy Image Analysis

Edited by two leading researchers and with contributions from some of the best in the field, this volume fully reflects the diversity and richness of rough fuzzy image analysis. It first explains how fuzzy, near, and rough sets provide the basis for the stages of pictorial pattern recognition. The text then discusses hybrid approaches that combine fuzzy sets and rough sets in image analysis, illustrates how to perform image analysis using only rough sets, and describes tolerance spaces and a perceptual systems approach to image analysis. It also presents a free, downloadable implementation of near sets and covers an array of applications, particularly in medical imaging.
