A thumbnail-based hierarchical fuzzy clustering algorithm for SAR image segmentation

Image Segmentation Based on Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm

Image segmentation plays an important role for machine vision applications. In this paper, we present a new segmentation strategy based on fuzzy clustering algorithm. The new algorithm includes the spatial interactions by assuming that the statistical model of segmented image regions is Gibbs Random Field ( GRF ). We specitjl the neighborhood system, the associated cliques. and the potentials o...

GPU-Based Fuzzy C-Means Clustering Algorithm for Image Segmentation

In this paper, a fast and practical GPU-based implementation of Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm for image segmentation is proposed. First, an extensive analysis is conducted to study the dependency among the image pixels in the algorithm for parallelization. The proposed GPU-based FCM has been tested on digital brain simulated dataset to segment white matter(WM), gray matter(GM) and ce...

Mahalanobis distance based on fuzzy clustering algorithm for image segmentation

Image Segmentation: Type–2 Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Mean Clustering Approach

Image segmentation is an essential issue in image description and classification. Currently, in many real applications, segmentation is still mainly manual or strongly supervised by a human expert, which makes it irreproducible and deteriorating. Moreover, there are many uncertainties and vagueness in images, which crisp clustering and even Type-1 fuzzy clustering could not handle. Hence, Type-...

A multiobjective spatial fuzzy clustering algorithm for image segmentation

This article describes a multiobjective spatial fuzzy clustering algorithm for image segmentation. To obtain satisfactory segmentation performance for noisy images, the proposed method introduces the non-local spatial information derived from the image into fitness functions which respectively consider the global fuzzy compactness and fuzzy separation among the clusters. After producing the set...
