Abstract
A method for recognizing geometric shapes in an image using fuzzy logic. The method includes determining an edge in the image and a gradient of the edge. The gradient is corrected by virtue of a first fuzzy logic process, and the number of points that belong to the curve are determined by virtue of a second fuzzy logic process. A fuzzy device for the recognition of geometric shapes in images that implementing the method includes an edge detector, a fuzzy gradient corrector to correct the gradient, and a fuzzy vote attributor to determine the number of points that belong to the curve.
