I need guide on applying fuzzy mathematical morphology on images.
Fuzzy Mathematical Morphology use concepts of fuzzy set theory. I am trying to explore Fuzzy MM approach in image processing. The values of a fuzzy set should be interpreted as degrees of membership and not as pixel values.
Fuzzy image processing has three main stages: Image fuzzification, modification of membership values, and image defuzzification.
Reference: Fuzzy Mathematical Morphology approach in Image Processing
The fuzzification and defuzzification steps are due to the fact that we do not possess fuzzy hardware. Therefore, the coding of image data (fuzzification) and decoding of the results (defuzzification) are steps that make possible to process images with fuzzy techniques. After the image data are transformed from gray-level plane to the membership plane (fuzzification), and then I want to apply dilation and erosion.
The Definition [De Baets, 1997] of fuzzy dilation and fuzzy erosion of A by B (Structuring Element)are the gray-scale images can be found in (page 6)
Opening and Closing Operators in Fuzzy Morphology Using Conjunctive Uninorms by M. Gonz´alez
I am trying to do Fuzzy MM dilation and erosion in gray scale images by using Matlab image processing toolbox. But confused how to do it? I want to apply [De Baets, 1997] definition in gray scale image.
Can you please make it more clear the idea for me? I am new in this area.
Thanks for your time and cooperation.
