This paper is to compare DTCNN(Discrete-time Cellular Neural Networks) applying the fuzzy morphology operators with the conventional FCNN(Fuzzy CNN) using the general morphology operators. These methods are to the image filtering, and are compared as MSE. Also the main goal of this paper is to compare the fuzzy morphology operators with the general morphology operators through image input. In a result of computer simulation, we could know that the error of DTCNN applying the fuzzy morphology operators is less about 6.1809 than FCNN using the general morphology operators in the image included 10% noise, also the error of the former is less about 5.5922 than the latter in the image included 20% noise. And the image of DTCNN applying the fuzzy morphology operators is superior to FCNN using the general morphology operators.

Based on similarities between fuzzy set theory and mathematical morphology, Grabish proposed a fuzzy morphology based on the Sugeno fuzzy integral. This paper proposes a fuzzy mathematical morphology based on the defuzzification of the fuzzy measure which corresponds to fuzzy integral. Its process makes a fuzzy set used as a measure of the inclusion of each fuzzy measure for subsets. To calculate such an integral a $\lambda$-fuzzy measure is defined which gives every subsets associated with the universe of discourse, a definite non-negative weight. Fast implementable definitions for erosion and dilation based on the fuzzy measure was given. An application for robust skeletonization of two-dimensional objects was presented. Simulation examples showed that the object reconstruction from their skeletal subsets that can be achieved by using the proposed was better than by using the binary mathematical morphology in most cases.

A novel definition for fuzzy mathematical morphology is described The generalized-mean operator plays the key role for this definition. Several hard constraints for standard generalized-mean have been eliminated. Complete mathematical description for obtaining fuzzy erosion and dilation is provided. The definitions are well suited for neural network implementation. Therefore, the parameters for the fuzzy definition can be optimized using neural network learning paradigm.

Mathematical morphology (MM) has been introduced as a powerful tool for studying the geometrical properties of images, MM is a good approach to digital image processing , which is based on the shape feature. The MM operators such as dilation, erosion, closing and opening have been applied successfully to image noise reduction. The MM filters can easily filter the noise when the noise factors are known. However it is very difficult to reduce the noise when images are ambiguous, because the boundary between the noise and object is vague. In this paper, we propose a new method to reduce noise from ambiguous images by using Fuzzy Mathematical Morphology (FMM) operators. Performance evaluation via simulations show that the FMM filters efficiently reduce the image noise. Furthermore, the FMM filters show a good performance compared with the conventional filters.

This is applying the Fuzzy Wavelet Morphology Operator which can be simple the image robustly without the loss of data to DTCNN Structure for improving defect which carrys out a lot of operation complexly. Also, this color image can segment Y image with YCbCr space color model which has a lossless feature information of edge boundary sides effectively. This paper can offer the simulation of color images of 50ea for the performance verification of the proposal algorithm.

In this paper, we propose the color fuzzy decision algorithm to face segmentation in a color image. Our algorithm can segment without the user's interaction by fuzzy decision marking. And it removes small parts such as a noise using wavelet morphology in the image obtained by applying the fuzzy decision algorithm. Also, it merges and chooses the face region in each quantization image through rough sets. This video object division algorithm is shown to be superior to a conventional algorithm.

The fingerprint image quality relies on the clearness of separated ridges by valleys and the uniformity of the separation. The condition of skin still dominate the overall quality of the fingerprint. However, the identification performance of such system is very sensitive to the quality of the captured fingerprint image. Fingerprint image quality analysis and enhancement are useful in improving the performance of fingerprint identification systems. A fuzzy technique is introduced in this paper for both fingerprint image quality analysis and enhancement. First, the quality analysis is performed by extracting four features from a fingerprint image which are the local clarity score (LCS), global clarity score (GCS), ridge_valley thickness ratio (RVTR), and the Global Contrast Factor (GCF). A fuzzy logic technique that uses Mamdani fuzzy rule model is designed. The fuzzy inference system is able to analyse and determinate the fingerprint image type (oily, dry or neutral) based on the extracted feature values and the fuzzy inference rules. The percentages of the test fuzzy inference system for each type is as follow: For dry fingerprint the percentage is 81.33, for oily the percentage is 54.75, and for neutral the percentage is 68.48. Secondly, a fuzzy morphology is applied to enhance the dry and oily fingerprint images. The fuzzy morphology method improves the quality of a fingerprint image, thus improving the performance of the fingerprint identification system significantly. All experimental work which was done for both quality analysis and image enhancement was done using the DB_ITS_2009 database which is a private database collected by the department of electrical engineering, institute of technology Sepuluh Nopember Surabaya, Indonesia. The performance evaluation was done using the Feature Similarity index (FSIM). Where the FSIM is an image quality assessment (IQA) metric, which uses computational models to measure the image quality consistently with subjective evaluations. The new proposed system outperformed the classical system by 900% for the dry fingerprint images and 14% for the oily fingerprint images.

In this paper, inspection and subpixed alignment algorithms of SMD's (Surface Mounting Devices) using fuzzy morphology are proposed. First, camera calibration is performed and then the inspection algorithm detects defects such as lead bending and breaking using the ruler generated by fuzy morphology. The SMD having no defects is tested whether it is mounted in the specified position or not. The proposed subpixel alignment algorithm detects accurately orientation and position using subpixel interpolation. It consists of two parts: preprocessing and main processing steps, in which corner points and coarse orientation of a SMD are detected, and interpolation is used to obtain final parameters with wubpixel accuracy. The computer simulation shows that the proposed algorithms give more accurate parameters, and they can be applied to fast and accurate automatic surface mounting systems.

In this paper the elasticity of fault-detection algorithm based on fuzzy logic is proposed through lots of experiments, justifying its validity. The four mathematical morpholgical operators was defined to detect the cracks. The cracks was detected via center of area method with ${\lambda}$-fuzzy measure of fuzzy sets. However generally favorable, the result owes to how adequate the lighting device is designed in case of the so far fine crack of pieces. In an attempt to improve the response of the system, It is designed to minimize the use of memory via LookUp table in software.
