Fast Fuzzy Clustering of Infrared Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clustering is an important technique for unsupervised image segmentation. The use of fuzzy c-means clustering can provide more information and better partitions than traditional c-means. In image processing, the ability to reduce the precision of the input data and aggregate similar examples can lead to significant data reduction and correspondingly less execution time. This paper discusses brFCM, a data reduction fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm. The algorithm is described and several key implementation issues are discussed. Performance speedup and correspondence to a typical FCM implementation are presented from a dataset of 172 infrared images. Average speedups of 59 times traditional FCM were obtained using brFCM, while producing identical cluster output relative to FCM.

Fast accurate fuzzy clustering through data reduction
Clustering is a useful approach in image segmentation, data mining and other pattern recognition problems for which unlabeled data exist. Fuzzy clustering using fuzzy c-means or variants of it can provide a data partition that is both better and more meaningful than hard clustering approaches. The clustering process can be quite slow when there are many objects or patterns to be clustered. This...
متن کاملModification of the Fast Global K-means Using a Fuzzy Relation with Application in Microarray Data Analysis
Recognizing genes with distinctive expression levels can help in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the diseases at the genomic level. In this paper, fast Global k-means (fast GKM) is developed for clustering the gene expression datasets. Fast GKM is a significant improvement of the k-means clustering method. It is an incremental clustering method which starts with one cluster. Iteratively ...

DNA algorithm and fuzzy evolutionary clustering techniques are used to classify damaged images and to reconstruct the original images. Experimental results show both methods are far more effective than the use of genetic algorithms or c-means clustering. Particularly, the method of fuzzy evolutionary clustering provides very fast convergence and accurate image reconstruction with absolute certa...
متن کاملImage Segmentation: Type–2 Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Mean Clustering Approach
Image segmentation is an essential issue in image description and classification. Currently, in many real applications, segmentation is still mainly manual or strongly supervised by a human expert, which makes it irreproducible and deteriorating. Moreover, there are many uncertainties and vagueness in images, which crisp clustering and even Type-1 fuzzy clustering could not handle. Hence, Type-...
