Nonlinear fuzzy operators for image processing

Abstract The formal rules which describe the behavior of a ‘globally fuzzy’ technique for image processing are described in this paper. The analysis is then particularized, in order to get a deeper insight, to the case of a very simple operator of this family, putting to evidence the different sources of nonlinearity which are involved. Some examples briefly illustrating the achievable performances complete the presentation.
