Fuzzy Image Processing

FIDE(tm) (Fuzzy Inference Development Environemnt) by Aptronix is an ideal tool that can describe and model different objects in digital images using physics, chemical, geometric, relational, & mathematical characteristics. Fuzzy logic can describe many linguistic concepts that are commonly used in object description and detection, such as "very high density," "exactly collinear," "roughly collinear," "almost like a circle," "the match is very close," and so on. With a set of Real Time Code Generators, FIDE automatically generates fuzzy inference algorithms in Java code, ANSI C code, MatLab M file, and assembly code for a variety of microcontrollers. Due to direct mapping from fuzzy logic statement set to machine instruction set of the target microcontrollers, the size of the assembly code generated by FIDE is significantly smaller than hand-written assembly programs, and the time needed to execute code by Fide is much shorter than other programs.

FIDE(tm) helps the developer take advantage of fuzzy logic benefits with an integrated tool suite designed to fully support the alternative design methodology of fuzzy logic. Conventional design environments are limited because they target the software algorithm rather than the application. FIDE exploits the non-linear nature of fuzzy logic by including three unique debugging and analysis capabilities which target the application. These easy-to-use tools called the tracer, the analyser, and the simulator enable one to perform both low and high level debugging by providing a seamless path to the source for instantaneous bug isolation and code modification. These tools are invoked from the familiar Windows environment and organised in a logical fashion similar to the step-by-step design flow followed to develop a fuzzy logic controller.
