While the heights and numbers of tires in the assembly line are changing, the traditional methods are difficult to identify the types of the tires, so an indirect tire identification method is proposed to identify the types of the tires, which uses the widths of the tires, the diameters and the shapes of the hubs to classify the tires. First, the tires are identified according to the widths and...

The well-known fuzzy c-means algorithm is an objective function based fuzzy clustering technique that extends the classical k-means method to fuzzy partitions. By replacing the Euclidean distance in the objective function other cluster shapes than the simple (hyper-)spheres of the fuzzy c-means algorithm can be detected, for instance ellipsoids, lines or shells of circles and ellipses. We propo...

This paper is a survey of fuzzy set theory applied in cluster analysis. These fuzzy clustering algorithms have been widely studied and applied in a variety of substantive areas. They also become the major techniques in cluster analysis. In this paper, we give a survey of fuzzy clustering in three categories. The first category is the fuzzy clustering based on fuzzy relation. The second one is t...

through this paper we proposed the methodology that incorporates the K-means and fuzzy c means algorithm for the color image segmentation. The image segmentation may be defined as the process of dividing the given image into different parts. Here we are taking color image as the input and we are supposed to segment the given image on the basis of its color. The clustering algorithm also proved ...

This paper analyzes sensitivity of Fuzzy C-means to noisy which generates unreasonable clustering results. We also find that Fuzzy C-means possess monotonicity, which may generate meaningless clustering results. Aiming at these weak points, we present an improved Fuzzy C-means named IFCM (Improved Fuzzy C-means). Firstly, we research the reason of sensitivity and find that constraint leads to s...

With the rapid advances of microarray technologies, large amounts of high-dimensional gene expression data are being generated, which poses significant computational challenges. A first step towards addressing this challenge is the use of clustering techniques, which is essential in the data mining process to reveal natural structures and identify interesting patterns in the underlying data. A ...

Horizontal collaborative clustering is such a clustering method that carries clustering on one data set describing a pattern set in one feature space with collaborative introducing of outer partition information obtained by clustering on another data set but describing the same pattern set in another feature space. In order to implement the collaborative clustering, horizontal collaborative fuz...

In this paper proposes different conventional and fuzzy based clustering techniques for fault detection and isolation in process plant monitoring. Process plant monitoring is very important aspect to improve productiveness and efficiency of the product and plant. This paper takes a case study of plant data and implements K means algorithm and fuzzy C means algorithm to cluster the relevant data...

Clustering technique is one of the most important research areas in the field of data mining. This paper proposes an improved K-Means clustering algorithm form partition based clustering algorithms. It determines the initial centroid of the cluster and gives more efficient performance and reduces the time complexity of the large data sets. The data set used here is banking data. Fuzzy C-Means c...
