A Fuzzy View on k-Means Based Signal Quantization with Application in Iris Segmentation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper shows that the k-means quantization of a signal can be interpreted both as a crisp indicator function and as a fuzzy membership assignment describing fuzzy clusters and fuzzy boundaries. Combined crisp and fuzzy indicator functions are defined here as natural generalizations of the ordinary crisp and fuzzy indicator functions, respectively. An application to iris segmentation is presented together with a demo program.

Fuzzy Clustering Approach Using Data Fusion Theory and its Application To Automatic Isolated Word Recognition
In this paper, utilization of clustering algorithms for data fusion in decision level is proposed. The results of automatic isolated word recognition, which are derived from speech spectrograph and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis, are combined with each other by using fuzzy clustering algorithms, especially fuzzy k-means and fuzzy vector quantization. Experimental results show that the...
متن کاملFast K-Means Image Quantization Algorithm and Its Application to Iris Segmentation
The main algorithm presented in this paper (Fast K-Means Image Quantization) is an adaptation of the generic k-means algorithm, tuned for fast chromatic clustering of both 24-bit RGB and Grayscale continuous-tone still images. Here we show that, in some specific conditions, the automatic discovery of the area morphology can be done through a non-deterministic algorithm mainly controlled by the ...
