A fuzzy median-of-intercept straight-line algorithm for use in noisy images

Recently, a crisp robust median-of-intercept (MI) straight-line fitting algorithm was devised for use in image-processing applications. The algorithm is specifically designed for use in noisy images when the input data is corrupted with both noise and outliers. In this article we describe a fuzzy MI algorithm whose performance is significantly better than the original crisp algorithm. In addition, the new algorithm is fast; its computational complexity being only marginally greater than the original MI algorithm. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
