In this paper we describe a color image segmentation system that performs color clustering in a color space and then color region segmentation in the image domain. For color segmentation, we developed a fuzzy clustering algorithm that iteratively generates color clusters using a uniquely de"ned fuzzy membership function and an objective function for clustering optimization. The fuzzy membership...

Color image segmentation is an important but still open problem in image processing. In this paper, we propose a method for this problem by integrating the spatial connectivity and color feature of the pixels. Considering that an image can be regarded as a dataset in which each pixel has a spatial location and a color value, color image segmentation can be obtained by clustering these pixels in...

quality inspection is an indispensable part of modern industrial manufacturing. steel as a major industry requires constant surveillance and supervision through its various stages of production. continuous casting is a critical step in the steel manufacturing process in which molten steel is solidified into a semi-finished product called slab. once the slab is released from the casting unit, th...

This paper proposes an approach for the segmentation of color images using CIELab color space and Ant based clustering. Image segmentation is the process of assigning a label to every pixel in an image such that pixels with the same label share certain visual characteristics. The objective of segmentation is to change the image into meaningful form that is easier to analyze. This paper elaborat...

acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common form of pediatric cancer which is categorized into three l1, l2, and l3 and could bedetected through screening of blood and bone marrow smears by pathologists. due to being time‑consuming and tediousness of theprocedure, a computer‑based system is acquired for convenient detection of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. microscopic images areacquired fro...

An interactive system could be provided for batik customers with the aim of helping them in selecting the right batiks. The system should manage a collection of batik images along with other information such as fashion color type, the contrast degree, and motif. This research aims to find methods of clustering and classifying batik images based on fashion color, contrast and motif. A color clus...
