Fuzzy Retrieval System Employing Image Processing for Car Shape

This paper proposes a fuzzy retrieval system for purchasing cars employing image processing. This system aims to support such persons who are not good with machines or cars. When they try to purchase a car, they can use this system easily as if they ask casually someone else who knows more about car. Unspecific conditions are expressed by the fuzzy set, and the level matching conditions are expressed by the grade values. To use this more practically, a GUI form with selection menus is developed. In addition, calculating curvature by the car shape using the image processing, and adding an item for selecting a car shape from roundness and sharpness, try to improve usability of this system.
