Image Posterization Using Fuzzy Logic and Bilateral Filter
Image posterization is converting images with a large number of tones into synthetic images with distinct flat areas and a fewer number of tones. In this technical report, we present the implementation and results of using fuzzy logic in order to generate a posterized image in a simple and fast way. The image filter is based on fuzzy logic and bilateral filtering; where, the given image is blurred to remove small details. Then, the fuzzy logic is used to classify each pixel into one of three specific categories in order to reduce the number of colors. This filter was developed during building the Specs on Face dataset in order to add a new level of difficulty to the original face images in the dataset. This filter does not hurt the human detection performance; however, it is considered a hindrance evading the face detection process. This filter can be used generally for posterizing images, especially those have a high contrast to get images with vivid colors.

Improved Adaptive Type-2 Fuzzy Filter with Exclusively Two Fuzzy Membership Function for Filtering Salt and Pepper Noise
Image denoising is one of the preliminary steps in image processing methods in which the presence of noise can deteriorate the image quality. To overcome this limitation, in this paper a improved two-stage fuzzy filter i…
