This paper casts an application of an extended fuzzy integral on the selective extraction of color clusters characterized by a particular color hue from color document images. Despite of the negative role of fuzzy integral, the presented approach attains the detection of the seals through the neighborhood information via the center of area method. The conventional fuzzy integral evaluates the negative aspects of the importance about the items by min operator, which result in the discontinuous parts of seals. In an attempt to cope with the drawback our approach considers the integral aspects via the center of area method, which results in the robustness of the images. Finally, the framework is successfully tested on a data set formed by documents from a real application for the detection.
