    Abstract: A method of compressing digital images acquired in CFA (colour filter array) format (3) that utilizes optimised quantization matrices. The method, basing itself on the statistical characterization of the error introduced during the processing phase (4,5) that precedes compression (6), appropriately modifies the coefficients of any initial quantization matrix, even of a standard type, obtaining a greater compression efficiency without introducing further quality losses.

    Abstract: A fuzzy method for the recognition of geometric shapes in images, the particularity whereof is that it comprises the following steps: recognition of at least one edge of a curve of an image; recognition of the gradient of the edge; correction of the gradient by virtue of first fuzzy means; and determination of the number of points that belong to the curve by virtue of second fuzzy means. The process according to the present invention is performed by a fuzzy device for the recognition of geometric shapes in images that comprises: an edge detector, adapted to recognize at least one edge of a curve of an image and adapted to recognize the gradient of the edge; a fuzzy gradient corrector, adapted to correct said gradient; a fuzzy vote attributor, adapted to determine the number of points that belong to the curve.

    Abstract: Filter achieving noise reduction and digital signal image edge exaltation comprising first and second noise reduction circuit means 2 and 3 designed to elect an image edge. Said first and second noise reduction circuit means 2 and 3 comprise each a first and second comparison element (S1,S2,S3,S4) whose input terminals are designed to receive separate digital signals of an image and an inferential circuit (C1,C2) connected to said comparison elements. Each inferential circuit (C1,C2) comprises a fuzzy logic unit designed to define activation levels (Vi) dependent upon signals generated by the comparison elements. The filter (1) comprises also a noise detection circuit (4) and an image edge detection circuit (6) both connected to the noise reduction circuit means (2,3) and designed to perform operations in accordance with fuzzy logic rules on the basis of activation levels (Vi) defined in the inferential circuits (C1,C2). The filter 1 also includes a noise reduction circuit (5) connected to the noise detection circuit (6) and designed to filter the digital image signals on the basis of the operations performed by the circuit (4). In the filter (1) is also included an image edge exalting circuit (7) connected to the noise reduction circuit (5) and to the image edge detection circuit (4) designed to perform on filtered digital image signals an image edge exaltation on the basis of the operations performed by the image edge detection circuit (6).
