Multiscale intuitionistic fuzzy roughness measure for image segmentation

In this paper, a method for image segmentation using multiscale intuitionistic fuzzy roughness measure is proposed. The traditional roughness measure tends to over-focus on the little important homogeneous regions but is not accurate enough to measure the homogeneity in an image. By applying the theories of scale-space and using intuitionistic fuzzy representation for images, roughness is measured under multiple scales. Multiscale representation can tolerate the disturbance of trivial regions, and intuitionistic fuzzy representation deals with hesitancy in image boundary, therefore produces precise segmentation results.
