In this work we discuss the forms of monotonicity that have been recently introduced to relax the monotonicity condition in the definition of aggregation functions. We focus on directional, ordered directional and strengthened ordered directional monotonicity, study their main properties and provide some results about their links and relations among them. We also present two families of functions, the so-called linear fusion functions and ordered linear fusion functions and we study the set of directions for which these types of functions are directionally, ordered directionally and strengthened ordered directionally increasing. In particular, OWA operators are an example of ordered linear fusion functions.

In this paper we provide a specific construction method of ordered directionally monotone functions. We show that the functions obtained with this construction method can be used to build edge detectors for grayscale images. We compare the results of these detectors to those obtained with some other ones that are widely used in the literature. Finally, we show how a consensus edge detector can be built improving the results obtained both by our proposal and by those in the literature when applied individually.
