Table 1 Fuzzy predicates produced by the fuzzy system for the actual values of colocalization. The modifiers “Very” and “Less than” (or “More than”) use the square and the square root of the original membership functions, respectively. If the membership function of “Weak” is μ(x), the membership function of “Very Weak” is μ2(x)
