            Abstract : 
Rule-based fuzzy operators are a novel class of operators specifically designed in order to apply the principles of approximate reasoning to digital image processing. This paper shows how a fuzzy operator that is able to perform detail sharpening but is insensitive to noise can be designed. The results obtainable by the proposed technique in the enhancement of a real image are presented
