  • Chapter
Book cover Soft Computing in Image Processing

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 210))

Abstract

For the last few decades significant progress in image processing has been achieved. Nowadays various types of images are widely employed in medical and industrial application, sciences and engineering, surveillance systems etc. The progress can be explained not only by rapid development of computers and their hardware but also by advances in computational techniques. Usually, computations to enhance quality of pictures, to segment them or to recognize image objects require enormous calculations. The real use of the image estimators is restricted by opportunity to calculate or to evaluate satisfactory their values. Special methods and techniques have been developed to provide that.
