Fuzzy Nonparametric Measures for Image Matching

Many correlation measures have been already proposed for image matching. The special group with quite different statistical properties constitute the nonparametric measures. Their virtue in the task of image matching lies mostly in the known distribution function and resistance against local image fluctuations and outliers. In this paper the fuzzy enhancement of the nonparametric measures is proposed. It allows for better representation of the local relations among image pixels. The presented concepts are underpinned by many experiments which results are also provided and discussed.
