Abstract

In this paper we consider the problem of detecting binary objects. We present a method for constructing a gray-scaled (or, fuzzy) template for use in correlation-based matching of Boolean images, using rough sets. First, we represent the binary images in the morphological sense-that is-as sets. Next, we assume a cause for spatial uncertainty that is quite common in machine vision applications and present a methodology for modeling it indirectly in the construction of the template. Then we show how rough sets can be used to determine the matching probabilities constructively, rather than through trial and error, as is usually the case. Our technique is computationally efficient and is superior to correlation-based techniques, which can be easily fooled and automates the hand-selection of structuring elements for the hit-or-miss transform technique, both of which are usually used to solve this problem.
