Construction of Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sets From Fuzzy Sets: Methods and Applications

In this chapter, we present some methods to construct interval type-2 membership functions from fuzzy membership functions and their applications in image processing, classification, and decision making. First, we review some basic concepts of interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs). Next, we analyze three different approaches to construct IT2FSs starting from fuzzy sets and their applications in different fields.
