Abstract: This work is devoted to solve the problem of the determination of the spatial position, orientation and size of an electrically charged ellipsoidal conductor subjected to an external electric field. The problem, which is relevant to the field of the non destructive testing and evaluations engineering, is approached in fuzzy domain replacing it in an equivalent classification problem between images through the use of the fuzzy divergence concept. The obtained numerical results demonstrate how the performances of the proposed approach are totally comparable with those given by the more sophisticate and well established fuzzy clustering techniques exploited in literature, offering thus a viable alternative to solve identification problem in electrostatics.
