Intuitionistic fuzzy set approach for color region extraction

An improvised technique is proposed in detecting and extracting color regions of an image using intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) theory. This will be very useful especially for remotely sensed images where different types of regions (agricultural, watery, or volcanic) are to be extracted. Comparing with non-fuzzy and fuzzy method, results of an extracted image were found better due to consideration of uncertainty in the form of a hesitation degree while defining membership function in IFS.
