Speed-up fractal image compression with a fuzzy classifier

This paper presents a fractal image compression scheme incorporated with a fuzzy classifier that is optimized by a genetic algorithm. The fractal image compression scheme requires to find matching range blocks to domain blocks from all the possible division of an image into subblocks. With suitable classification of the subblocks by a fuzzy classifier we can reduce the search time for this matching process so as to speedup the encoding process in the scheme. Implementation results show that by introducing three image classes and using fuzzy classifier optimized by a genetic algorithm the encoding process can be speedup by about 40% of an unclassified encoding system.

Optimizing the color-to-grayscale conversion for image classification

In many of the computer vision applications, color-to-grayscale conversion algorithms are required to preserve the salient features of the color images, such as brightness, contrast and structure of the color image. The traditional color-to-grayscale conversion algorithms such as National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) may produce mediocre images for visual observation. However, these NTSC grayscale images are not tailored for classification purposes because the objective of NTSC is not to obtain discriminative images. For image classification problems, we present a novel color-to-grayscale conversion method based on genetic algorithm (GA). By using the GA, the color image conversion coefficients are optimized to generate more discriminative grayscale images to decrease the error in image classification problems. In order to analyze the effectiveness of the proposed method, all experimental results are compared with traditional NTSC, equal and Karhunen–Loeve-based color-to-grayscale optimization methods. It is observed that the proposed method converges to more discriminative grayscale images as compared to traditional methods.

Neuro-Fuzzy Approach to the Segmentation of Psoriasis Images

In this paper, an automatic method for psoriasis image segmentation using neuro-fuzzy techniques is proposed. It can be used in a therapy evaluation system. Since the psoriasis is a chronic disease, it is important to track the condition of the patient to select a proper treatment. In our design, the psoriasis images are segmented into normal skin regions and abnormal regions automatically. The areas of each kind of regions of a patient at different points of time can then be estimated. This information can be used to give a quantitative measure of the progress of the treatment. The provided information can avoid the variation of the human factor in the evaluation procedure and can offer a objective index for the doctor to select the most suitable treatment for the patient. The essential techniques required include feature extraction and image segmentation (classification) methods. The two-dimensional histogram of the hue and saturation components of the color image and the fuzzy texture spectrum of the gray-level image are used as the feature vectors to locate the homogeneous regions. Then these regions are used to train the neuro-fuzzy classifier to obtain a more accurate segmentation. After the image is segmented into normal and psoriasis regions, the area of psoriasis regions can be easily calculated to obtain the information required for the therapy evaluation system. For comparison, a color clustering algorithm which was used to segment digitized dermatoscopic images is also implemented. In the experiments, the proposed approach provides better performance.     

Fuzzy rule-based classification of remotely sensed imagery

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the applicability of fuzzy rule-based modeling to classify a LANDSAT TM scene from 1984 of an area located in the south of Germany. Both a land cover map with four different categories and an image depicting the degree of ambiguity of the classification for each pixel is the expected output. The fuzzy classification algorithm will use a rule system derived from a training set using simulated annealing as an optimization algorithm. The results are then validated and compared with a common classification method in order to judge the effectiveness of the proposed technique. It will also be shown that the proposed method with only nine rules for four different land cover classes performs slightly better than the maximum likelihood classifier (MLC). For error assessment, the traditional error matrix and fuzzy operators have been used

Fuzzy color histogram and its use in color image retrieval

A conventional color histogram (CCH) considers neither the color similarity across different bins nor the color dissimilarity in the same bin. Therefore, it is sensitive to noisy interference such as illumination changes and quantization errors. Furthermore, CCHs large dimension or histogram bins requires large computation on histogram comparison. To address these concerns, this paper presents a new color histogram representation, called fuzzy color histogram (FCH), by considering the color similarity of each pixel's color associated to all the histogram bins through fuzzy-set membership function. A novel and fast approach for computing the membership values based on fuzzy c-means algorithm is introduced. The proposed FCH is further exploited in the application of image indexing and retrieval. Experimental results clearly show that FCH yields better retrieval results than CCH. Such computing methodology is fairly desirable for image retrieval over large image databases.

Evolving color recipes

This paper highlights an evolutionary computing intelligence for a computerized color recipe prediction that requires function approximation and combinatorial solution of colorants to produce color recipes for a given target color sample. We attack this real challenging problem in the color (paint) industry by using an evolutionary computing system that consists of a problem-specific knowledge and three principal constituents of soft-computing: neural networks, a fuzzy system, and a genetic algorithm. Departing from the recipe results obtained by neural networks (NN) approaches, the evolutionary system attempts to improve them in conjunction with fuzzy classification, a knowledge base and neural fitness functions. All components function synergistically in obtaining precise color recipe outputs through simulation of color paint manufacturing process. Such computational intelligence can be useful, especially when an exact mathematical model of the real-world process under consideration is not available explicitly     

CONSIDERING NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION IN IMAGE FUZZY CLUSTERING

Fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is a classical non-supervised classification method. For image classification, fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm makes decisions on a pixel-by-pixel basis and does not take advantage of spatial information, regardless of the pixels' correlation. In this letter, a novel fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is introduced, which is based on image's neighborhood system. During classification procedure, the novel algorithm regards all pixels' fuzzy membership as a random field. The neighboring pixels' fuzzy membership information is used for the algorithm's iteration procedure. As a result, the algorithm gives a more smooth classification result and cuts down the computation time.     

Fuzzy two-step filter for impulse noise reduction from color images.

A new framework for reducing impulse noise from digital color images is presented, in which a fuzzy detection phase is followed by an iterative fuzzy filtering technique. We call this filter the fuzzy two-step color filter. The fuzzy detection method is mainly based on the calculation of fuzzy gradient values and on fuzzy reasoning. This phase determines three separate membership functions that are passed to the filtering step. These membership functions will be used as a representation of the fuzzy set impulse noise (one function for each color component). Our proposed new fuzzy method is especially developed for reducing impulse noise from color images while preserving details and texture. Experiments show that the proposed filter can be used for efficient removal of impulse noise from color images without distorting the useful information in the image.
