In this paper, we analyze the representation and reconstruction of fuzzy disks by using moments. Both continuous and digital fuzzy disks are considered. A fuzzy disk is a convex fuzzy spatial set, where the membership of a point to the fuzzy disk depends only on the distance of the point to the centre of the disk. We show that, for a certain class of membership functions defining a fuzzy disk, there exists a one-to-one Correspondence between the set of fuzzy disks and the set of their generalized moment representations. Theoretical error bounds for the accuracy of the estimation of generalized moments of a continuous fuzzy disk from the generalized moments of its digitization and, in connection with that, the accuracy of an approximate reconstruction of a continuous fuzzy disk from the generalized moments of its digitization, are derived. Defuzzification (reduction of a continuous fuzzy disk to a crisp representative) is also considered. A statistical study of generated synthetic objects complements the theoretical results.
