An Automatic decission support system for medical instrument suppliers using fuzzy multifactor based approach

Abstract

Most products are inspected for flaws several times during the manufacturing process. For this purpose, object detection is a very fundamental task in most of the image analysis applications. Most of the existing methods for low-level object detection perform color similarity and histogram similarity based approach in the 2-D image space. In this paper, a multi-factorial based approach has been proposed where the decision taking process involves a fuzzy mechanism based on weighted values of different parameters.
