TL;DR
The main idea is to consider a fuzzy subset of an images as the nested family of its level-cuts, interpret this family as a body of evidence in the sense of Shafer, and any intrinsic parameter can be calculated as a mathematical expectation based on a probability density function.

585 Citations1975Lotfi A. Zadeh
The calculus of fuzzy restrictions is concerned with translation of propositions of various types into relational assignment equations, and the study of transformations of fuzzy Restrictions which are induced by linguistic modifiers, truth-functional modifiers, compositions, projections and other operations.

85 Citations1985Azriel Rosenfeld
Given two fuzzy subsets @m and @n of a metric space S, the 'shortest distance' is defined as a density function on the non-negative reals as well as the mean distance, which is defined to show how it relates to the shortest distance.
