Abstract This work introduces a program to enhance images taken in low light. Fuzzy set theory is creating a significant shift in image processing. Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFS) based on intuitionistic fuzzy sets constructed from fuzzy sets are used to enhance images taken in low light. In the proposed method, first the given low light image is fuzzified by normal fuzzification. Then the fuzzified image is converted to an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy image. This image will be proposed enhanced image after applying the contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE). The experimental results reveal that the proposed method gives better results when compared with other existing methods like histogram equalization (HE), CLAHE, brightness preserving dynamic fuzzy histogram equalization (BPDFHE), histogram specification approach (HSA). Based on the performance analysis like entropy and correlation coefficient (CC), the proposed method gives better results.Mathematics Subject Classification (2010) 68U10 · 94D05

An essential topic of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets(IVIFSs) is distance measures. In this paper, we introduce a new kind of distance measures on IVIFSs. The novelty of our method lies in that we consider the width of intervals so that the uncertainty of outputs is strongly associated with the uncertainty of inputs. In addition, better than the distance measures given by predecessors, we define a new quaternary function on IVIFSs to construct the above-mentioned distance measures, which called interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy dissimilarity function. Two specific methods for building the quaternary functions are proposed. Moreover, we also analyzed the degradation of the distance measures in this paper, and show that our measures can perfectly cover the measures on a simpler set. Finally, we provide illustrative examples in pattern recognition and medical diagnosis problems to confirm the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed distance measures.

The literature discusses several extensions of fuzzy sets. AIFS, IVFS, HFS, type-2 fuzzy sets are some of them. Interval valued fuzzy sets is one of the extensions where the membership is not a single value but an interval. Atanassov Intuitionistic fuzzy sets, for short AIFS, are defined in terms of two values for each element: membership and non-membership. In this paper we discuss AIFS and their relationship with fuzzy measures. The discussion permits us to define counter AIFS (cIFS) and discretionary AIFS (dIFS). They are extensions of fuzzy sets that are based on fuzzy measures.

Paving is a method for constructing new operations from a given one. Kalina and Kral in 2015 showed that on the real unit interval this method can be used to construct associative, commutative and monotone operations from particular given operations (from basic ‘paving stones’). In the present paper we modify the construction method for interval-valued fuzzy sets. From given (possibly representable) t-norms and t-conorms we construct new, non-representable operations. In the last section, we modify the presented construction method for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets.
