Publication Open Access Image feature extraction using OD-monotone functions(Springer, 2018) Marco Detchart, Cedric; López Molina, Carlos; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y MatemáticasEdge detection is a basic technique used as a preliminary step for, e.g., object extraction and recognition in image processing. Many of the methods for edge detection can be fit in the breakdown structure by Bezdek, in which one of the key parts is feature extraction. This work presents a method to extract edge features from a grayscale image using the so-called ordered directionally monotone functions. For this purpose we introduce some concepts about directional monotonicity and present two construction methods for feature extraction operators. The proposed technique is competitive with the existing methods in the literature. Furthermore, if we combine the features obtained by different methods using penalty functions, the results are equal or better results than stateof-the-art methods.Publication Open Access A framework for radial data comparison and its application to fingerprint analysis(Elsevier, 2016) Marco Detchart, Cedric; Cerrón González, Juan; Miguel Turullols, Laura de; López Molina, Carlos; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Automatika eta Konputazioa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Automática y Computación; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaThis work tackles the comparison of radial data, and proposes comparison measures that are further applied to fingerprint analysis. First, we study the similarity of scalar and non-scalar radial data, elaborated on previous works in fuzzy set theory. This study leads to the concepts of restricted radial equivalence function and Radial Similarity Measure, which model the perceived similarity between scalar and vectorial pieces of radial data, respectively. Second, the utility of these functions is tested in the context of fingerprint analysis, and more specifically, in the singular point detection. With this aim, a novel Template-based Singular Point Detection method is proposed, which takes advantage of these functions. Finally, their suitability is tested in different fingerprint databases. Different Similarity Measures are considered to show the flexibility offered by these measures and the behaviour of the new method is compared with well-known singular point detection methods.Publication Open Access Fuzzy integrals for edge detection(Springer, 2023) Marco Detchart, Cedric; Lucca, Giancarlo; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Da Cruz Asmus, Tiago; López Molina, Carlos; Borges, Eduardo N.; Rincon, J. A.; Julian, Vicente; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta MatematikaIn this work, we compare different families of fuzzy integrals in the context of feature aggregation for edge detection. We analyze the behaviour of the Sugeno and Choquet integral and some of its generalizations. In addition, we study the influence of the fuzzy measure over the extracted image features. For testing purposes, we follow the Bezdek Breakdown Structure for edge detection and compare the different fuzzy integrals with some classical feature aggregation methods in the literature. The results of these experiments are analyzed and discussed in detail, providing insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. The overall conclusion is that the configuration of the fuzzy measure does have a paramount effect on the results by the Sugeno integral, but also that satisfactory results can be obtained by sensibly tuning such parameter. The obtained results provide valuable guidance in choosing the appropriate family of fuzzy integrals and settings for specific applications. Overall, the proposed method shows promising results for edge detection and could be applied to other image-processing tasks.Publication Open Access From restricted equivalence functions on Ln to similarity measures between fuzzy multisets(IEEE, 2023) Ferrero Jaurrieta, Mikel; Takáč, Zdenko; Rodríguez Martínez, Iosu; Marco Detchart, Cedric; Bernardini, Ángela; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; López Molina, Carlos; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta MatematikaRestricted equivalence functions are well-known functions to compare two numbers in the interval between 0 and 1. Despite the numerous works studying the properties of restricted equivalence functions and their multiple applications as support for different similarity measures, an extension of these functions to an n-dimensional space is absent from the literature. In this paper, we present a novel contribution to the restricted equivalence function theory, allowing to compare multivalued elements. Specifically, we extend the notion of restricted equivalence functions from L to L n and present a new similarity construction on L n . Our proposal is tested in the context of color image anisotropic diffusion as an example of one of its many applications.Publication Open Access Neuro-inspired edge feature fusion using Choquet integrals(Elsevier, 2021) Marco Detchart, Cedric; Lucca, Giancarlo; López Molina, Carlos; Miguel Turullols, Laura de; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaIt is known that the human visual system performs a hierarchical information process in which early vision cues (or primitives) are fused in the visual cortex to compose complex shapes and descriptors. While different aspects of the process have been extensively studied, such as lens adaptation or feature detection, some other aspects, such as feature fusion, have been mostly left aside. In this work, we elaborate on the fusion of early vision primitives using generalizations of the Choquet integral, and novel aggregation operators that have been extensively studied in recent years. We propose to use generalizations of the Choquet integral to sensibly fuse elementary edge cues, in an attempt to model the behaviour of neurons in the early visual cortex. Our proposal leads to a fully-framed edge detection algorithm whose performance is put to the test in state-of-the-art edge detection datasets.
