Method and system for fuzzy image classification

摘要

A method and system electronically fuzzy classify a pixel belonging to a set of digital image data with respect to a membership of the pixel in a plurality of image classes. This process determines a fuzzy classification of the pixel and generates an effect tag for the pixel based on the fuzzy classification determination. Each class is defined by a set of heuristic rules such that the image classes are non-mutually exclusive. The heuristic rules are a set of conditions that define the membership value of the pixel within a certain class, thereby allowing a pixel to have a membership value in every possible image class.
