Color Image Segmentation Using Competitive and Cooperative Learning Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Color image segmentation can be considered as a cluster procedure in feature space. k-means and its adaptive version, i.e. competitive learning approach are powerful tools for data clustering. But k-means and competitive learning suffer from several drawbacks such as dead-unit problem and need to pre-specify number of cluster. In this paper, we will explore to use competitive and cooperative learning approach to perform color image segmentation. In competitive and cooperative learning approach, seed points not only compete each other, but also the winner will dynamically select several nearest competitors to form a cooperative team to adapt to the input together, finally it can automatically select the correct number of cluster and avoid the dead-units problem. Experimental results show that CCL can obtain better segmentation result. Keywords—Color image segmentation, competitive learning, cluster, k-means algorithm, competitive and cooperative learning.

Image Segmentation using Improved Imperialist Competitive Algorithm and a Simple Post-processing
Image segmentation is a fundamental step in many of image processing applications. In most cases the image’s pixels are clustered only based on the pixels’ intensity or color information and neither spatial nor neighborhood information of pixels is used in the clustering process. Considering the importance of including spatial information of pixels which improves the quality of image segmentati...

متن کاملColor Image Segmentation using Competitive Learning
AbstructThis paper presents a color image segmentation method which divides color space into clusters. Competitive learning is used as a tool for clustering color space based on the least sum of squares criterion. We show that competitive learning converges to approximate the optimum solution based on this criterion theoretically and experimentally. We applied this method to various color scene...
متن کاملUnsupervised Color Texture Feature Extraction and Selection for Soccer Image Segmentation
In this paper, we describe a new approach for color texture feature extraction and selection. We define color texture features as texture features which are computed by taking into account the color components of the pixels. We determine the most discriminating color texture features among a multidimensional set of color texture features by means of an iterative feature selection procedure asso...

Color image segmentation has been extensively applied to a lot of applications such as pattern recognition, image compression and matching. In the literature, conventional k-means (MacQueen 1967) is one common algorithm used in pixel-based image segmentation. However, it needs to pre-assign an appropriate cluster number before performing clustering, which is an intractable problem from a practi...
