Abstract: Vision in general and images in particular have always played an important and essential role in human life. Today, image processing is a very active research area with many applications. In order to cope with the wide variety of image processing problems, several techniques have been introduced and developed, quite often with great success. Among the different techniques that are currently in use, we also encounter fuzzy techniques. The use of fuzzy techniques in image processing is one of the main topics of the Fuzziness and Uncertainty Modelling Research Group of Prof. Kerre. In this paper, we briefly summarize some achievements of the past years.
