Data structure and retrieval method of scenic image database based on fuzzy set theory

In this paper, the data structure and information retrieval are discussed for the management of an image database for storing images of sketches, pictures, paintings, etc. Because their attributes are very much fuzzy, the authors describe their fuzzy attributes in fuzzy sets and their membership functions. Corresponding to the fuzzy description, the grade of satisfaction of the information retrieval is defined by both retrieval condition and its complement. This model is suitable for the storage of fuzzy data.<<ETX>>
