✦ Synopsis

In this paper, we review a number of techniques for fuzzy color quantization. We show that the fuzzy membership paradigm is particularly suited to color quantization, where color cluster boundaries are not well deÿned. We propose a new fuzzy color quantization technique which incorporates a term for partition index. This algorithm produces better results than fuzzy C-means at a reduced computational cost. We test the results of the fuzzy algorithms using quality metrics which model the perception of the human visual system and illustrate that substantial quality improvements are achieved.

Recently, a crisp robust median-of-intercept (MI) straight-line fitting algorithm was devised for use in image-processing applications. The algorithm is specifically designed for use in noisy images when the input data is corrupted with both noise and outliers. In this article we describe a fuzzy MI

Image enhancement techniques are used to improve image quality or extract the fine details in the degraded images. Most existing color image enhancement techniques usually have three weaknesses: (1) color image enhancement applied in the RGB (red, green, blue) color space is inappropriate for the hu
