Development of effective methods for structural image recognition using the principles of data granulation and apparatus of fuzzy logic

Abstract

The processes of intelligent data processing in computer vision systems have been researched. The problem of structural image recognition is relevant. This is a promising way to assess the degree of similarity of objects. This approach provides the simplicity of construction and the high reliability of decision making. The main problem of an effective description of characteristic features is the distortion of fragments of analyzed objects. The reasons for changing the input data can be the actions of geometric transformations, the influence of background or interference. The elements of false objects with similar characteristics are formed. The problem of ensuring high-quality recognition requires the implementation of effective means of image processing. Methods of statistical modeling, granulation of data and fuzzy sets, detection and comparison of keypoints on the image, classification and clustering of data, and simulation modelling are used in this research. The implementation of the proposed approaches provides the formation of a concise description of features or a vector representation of unique keypoints. The verification of theoretical foundations and evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed data processing methods for real image bases is performed using the OpenCV library. The applied significance of the work is substantiated according to the criterion of data processing time without reducing the characteristics of reliability and interference immunity. The developed methods allow to increase the structural recognition of images by several times. Perspectives of research may involve identifying the optimal number of keypoints of the base set.
