The fuzzy integral for color seal segmentation on document images

The paper presents an application of the fuzzy integral for the selective extraction of color clusters in computer vision systems. The approach is applied on document analysis for the isolation of seals, a task which was till now realized based on shape information. The implemented framework is based on the features of the fuzzy integral as a soft data fusion operator, a concept that is briefly introduced in this work as well. Finally, the framework is successfully tested on a data set formed by documents from a real application for the detection of falsified seals on tax forms.
