Local Groups
IRAFM group
The group is a part of the Institute of Fuzzy Modelling and Applications (Ostrava University). The coordinator of this group is prof. Irina Perfilieva. It has 5 members:
Our challenge is to put all image processing tools on the platform of Soft Computiong and in particular, using the technique of the F-transform. Other developing techniques are: image fusion, reconstruction, handling of fuzzy images, fuzzy associative memories, mathematical morphology. We are ambitious to do everything efficiently and to overperform classical algorithms.
We are involved into several projects (republic level) - non-invasive control of jewelry stones, assistive medicine, mobile gadgets for easy driving. We are looking for partners to apply for a European project.
Fuzzy Logic and Information Fusion (LOBFI)
The group “Fuzzy Logic and Information Fusion” (LOBFI) belongs to the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) in Palma (Spain).
The group unifies the following researches:
The webpage of the group is lobfi.uib.cat
It studies, among other lines of research, the application of fuzzy logic techniques in image processing and analysis. In particular, the fuzzy mathematical morphology based on fuzzy conjunctions such as t-norms and uninorms, and fuzzy implications, and its application to edge detection, noise reduction, pattern recognition and object detection has been extensively studied by the group. The main achieved results have been presented in many specialized conferences and published in international journals in the field.
Recently, the LOBFI group has become a founder member of the Health Research Institute of Palma (IdISPa) and it is now in touch with several clinical research groups. From these contacts with medical professionals, the group is focusing now in biomedical image processing and the application of fuzzy techniques in medical problems such as melanoma detection and segmentation, retinal vessel extraction, image fusion from several sources (MRI, PET, TAC), among others. The coordinator of this group is Dr. Manuel González-Hidalgo.
