Abstract

This paper shows the trend in the transformation of the classic image recognition via the interpretation of the image content towards automatic shape and image understanding. The approach presented combines the mechanism proposed by Tadeusiewicz in [1] with the theory of granular computing introduced by Pedrycz in [2]. Its name, active partitions, is related to active contour techniques, from which it originates. It provides the ability to transfer the well-known concepts of object localization from the pixel level to image representations with meaningful image granules. Thus, the approach offers a great potential for the development of human-like image content interpretation.
