Abstract

In this work, image segmentation is addressed as the starting point within a motion analysis methodology intended for rat biomechanics behavior characterization. First, we propose a general segmentation framework that uses interval valued fuzzy sets (IVFSs) to determine the optimal image threshold value. The amplitude values of the IVFSs are used for representing the unknowledge/ignorance of an expert on determining whether a pixel belongs to the background or to the object of the image. Then, we introduce an extension of this methodology that uses a heuristic-based multi-threshold approach to determine the optimal threshold. Experimental results are presented.
