Abstract An intuitionistic fuzzy model for images based on the HSV color histogram is proposed. The image can be considered as an intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) by this model. Similarity measures are originally introduced to express the comparison between two fuzzy sets, and they can be used to reflect the resemblance of images. Experimental results show that the proposed approach can efficiently process queries of an image database in HSV color space and its accuracy rate is 5%~10% higher than those of fuzzy similarity measures and conventional histogram distances.
