Abstract

The paper analyses issues leading to errors in graphic object classifiers. The
distance measures suggested in literature and used as a basis in traditional, fuzzy, and
Neuro-Fuzzy classifiers are found to be not suitable for classification of non-stylized or
fuzzy objects in which the features of classes are much more difficult to recognize because
of significant uncertainties in their location and gray-levels. The authors suggest a neurofuzzy
graphic object classifier with modified distance measure that gives better
performance indices than systems based on traditional ordinary and cumulative distance
measures. Simulation has shown that the quality of recognition significantly improves
when using the suggested method.
