Abstract
In an image processing system an input image signal is processed to output a processed image signal. A first parameter relating to a first kind of characteristic, and a second parameter relating to a second kind of characteristic, are each extracted from the input image signal. A controlling parameter which is a multi-value datum is inferred by using membership functions relating to the first and second parameters, and also inferred is a membership function relating to the controlling parameter and a plurality of rules representing relations between the first and second parameters and the controlling parameter for determining a processing condition for processing the input image signal.
