Imaging plays an important role in medical field like medical diagnosis, treatment planning and patient follow up. Image segmentation is the backbone process to accomplish these tasks by dividing an image in to meaningful parts which share similar properties. Medical Resonance Imaging (MRI) is primary diagnostic technique to do image segmentation. There are several techniques proposed for image...

Traditional Fuzzy C-means segmentation algorithm requires to set clustering number in advance, and to calculate image clustering center by the iterative arithmetic. So the traditional algorithm is sensitive to the initial value and the computation complexity is high. In order to improve the traditional Fuzzy Cmeans algorithm, this paper presents an infrared image segmentation method using adapt...

Nowadays, the Fuzzy C-Means method has become one of the most popular clustering methods based on minimization of a criterion function. However, the performance of this clustering algorithm may be significantly degraded in the presence of noise. This paper presents a robust clustering algorithm called Bilateral Weighted Fuzzy CMeans (BWFCM). We used a new objective function that uses some k...

A simple and effective fuzzy clustering approach is presented for fuzzy modeling from industrial data. In this approach, fuzzy clustering is implemented in two phases: data compression by a self-organizing network, and fuzzy partitioning via fuzzy cmeans clustering associated with a proposed cluster validity measure. The approach is used to extract fuzzy models from data and find out the optima...

We show that the results obtained through clusteringbased image segmentation of single or multi-component images can be improved by a fuzzy relaxation of the degrees of membership in the image space. We illustrate the point through two clustering techniques: the fuzzy Cmeans (FCM) technique and a clustering technique based on the estimation of the probability density function (pdf).

slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. accurate prediction of the factor of safety (fos) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. in this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) was utilized to build an estimation model for the prediction of fos. three anfis models were implemented including g...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of four different soft computing methods, namely radial basis neural network (RBNN), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with subtractive clustering (ANFIS-SC), ANFIS with fuzzy c-means clustering (ANFIS-FCM) and M5 model tree (M5Tree), for predicting the ultimate strength and strain of concrete cylinders confined with fiber-reinforced polymer...

Image segmentation plays an important role in image analysis. It is one of the first and most important tasks in image analysis and computer vision. This proposed system presents a variation of fuzzy cmeans algorithm that provides image clustering. Based on the Mercer kernel, the kernel fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm (KFCM) is derived from the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm (FCM).The KF...
