Image segmentation is a process by which an image is partitioned into regions with similar features. Many approaches have been proposed for color image segmentation, but Fuzzy C-Means has been widely used, because it has a good performance in a large class of images. However, it is not adequate for noisy images and it also takes more time for execution as compared to other method as K-means. Fo...

Mengingat pentingnya keberadaan kantor Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) untuk mendukung perekonomian di wilayah Sumatera Utara, maka perlu adanya penambahan lokasi baru. Penelitian ini, bertujuan memperoleh hasil penentuan baru OJK Provinsi Utara dengan menerapkan dua metode Analisis Klaster, yaitu Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) dan Gustafson-Kessel (FGK), yang secara umum merupakan suatu teknik pengelompokan...

In this paper, monitoring and sensor fault detection in a waste-water treatment process are discussed. Monitoring is based on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model of a plant process obtained by using Gustafson-Kessel fuzzy clustering algorithm.The paper also explains the principle of the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. The main idea is to cope with the non-linearity of a monitored process. The output of th...

Hysteretic behavior model of soft magnetic material usually used in electrical machines and electronic devices is necessary for numerical solution of Maxwell equation. In this study, a new dynamic hysteresis model is presented, based on the nonlinear dynamic system identification from measured data capabilities of fuzzy clustering algorithm. The developed model is based on a Gustafson-Kessel (G...

An integrated approach for multi-spectral segmentation of MR images is presented. This method is based on the fuzzy c-means (FCM) and includes bias field correction and contextual constraints over spatial intensity distribution and accounts for the non-spherical cluster's shape in the feature space. The bias field is modeled as a linear combination of smooth polynomial basis functions for fast ...

A fuzzy classifier using multiple ellipsoids approximating decision regions for classification is to be designed in this paper. An algorithm called Gustafson-Kessel algorithm (GKA) with an adaptive distance norm based on covariance matrices of prototype data points is adopted to learn the ellipsoids. GKA is able to adapt the distance norm to the underlying distribution of the prototype data poi...

Some of the well-known fuzzy clustering algorithms are based on Euclidean distance function, which can only be used to detect spherical structural clusters. Gustafson-Kessel clustering algorithm and Gath-Geva clustering algorithm were developed to detect non-spherical structural clusters. However, the former needs added constraint of fuzzy covariance matrix, the later can only be used for the d...

In this work the importance of fuzzy based clustering methods is highlighted and their applications in the field of chemoinformatics, and issues involved are reviewed. The various methods and approaches of fuzzy clustering are outlined. The issue of number of valid clusters in a dataset is also discussed. The hyper dimensional chemical datasets are traditionally been treated only with the help ...

The performance of clustering algorithms for image segmentation are highly sensitive to the features used and types of objects in the image, which ultimately limits their generalization capability. This provides strong motivation to investigate integrating shape information into the clustering framework to improve the generality of these algorithms. Existing shape-based clustering techniques ma...
