Abstract. The paper concerns specific problems of color digital image recognition by use of the concept of fuzzy and rough granulation. This idea employs information granules that contain pieces of knowledge about digital pictures such as color, location, size, and shape of an object to be recognized. The object information granule (OIG) is introduced, and the Granular Pattern Recognition System (GPRS) proposed, in order to solve different tasks formulated with regard to the information granules.
