Edge extraction by FIRE operators
F. Russo, Giovanni Ramponi · 1994
FIRE (fuzzy inference ruled by else-action) operators are a recently proposed family of fuzzy operators for image processing. After an introduction of the generalized structure of the FIRE edge extractor, in this paper it is shown how FIRE operators can be designed in order to comply with the following two requirements: 1) extraction of edges from a noiseless image by means of the simplest possible rule-base; 2) extraction of edges from a noisy image. Some experimental results show the performances of the proposed approach.>
