Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method for construction of distance functions and metrics, by applying aggregation operators on some given distance functions and metrics. For some types and examples of aggregation operators, we analyze which properties of the given distance functions and metrics are preserved by such construction. We also present one possible application of the distance functions constructed in such way in image segmentation by fuzzy c-means algorithm. Other similar applications in image processing are also possible.
