Special
Session on
Recent Advances in Fuzzy Logic in Image
Processing
Vision in general and images in
particular play an important and essential role in human life. In the
past they were, today they are, and in the future they will continue to
be one of our most important information carriers ("one image contains
more than a thousand words"). Fundamental scientific research and the
continuing development of new and high-standard technology lead to a
wide variety of applications, and all of them face us with important
new challenges. In order to cope with these image processing
challenges, several techniques have been introduced and developed.
Among the different techniques that are currently in use, we also
encounter fuzzy logic techniques.
The special session on "Recent
Advances in Fuzzy Logic in Image Processing" aims at providing a
collection of recent and state-of-the-art contributions on this topic,
which perfectly fits in the scope of the FUZZ-IEEE 2011 Conference.
Simultaneously, the fact that papers on this topic are presented in a
specific session facilitates the establishment and intensification of
communication and international cooperation between researchers that
are active in this area.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Image quality improvement: filtering, noise removal, enhancement,
restoration
- Image analysis: edge detection, segmentation, pattern
recognition,
object recognition, interpretation
- Image compression and image reconstruction
- Image similarity
- Computer vision
- Satellite image processing
- Medical image processing
- Mathematical morphology
- Wavelets
All accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of the
Conference. Selected high-quality papers will also be invited to sumbit
an extended manuscript for a special issue of the EURASIP Journal on
Advances in Signal Processing.
