A Novel Fuzzy Weighted C-Means Method for Image Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Much research has shown that fuzzy c-means clustering is a powerful tool for partitioning samples into different categories. However, the cost function of the classical fuzzy c-means (FCM) is defined by the distances from data to the cluster centers with their fuzzy memberships. In this study, a new fuzzy clustering algorithm, namely the fuzzy weighted c-means (FWCM), is proposed. In this proposed FWCM, the concept of weighted means using nonparametric weighted feature extraction (NWFE) is employed for replacing the cluster centers in the FCM. The experiments on both synthetic and real data show that the proposed clustering algorithm can generate better clustering results than FCM and the fuzzy compactness and separation (FCS) algorithms.

متن کاملOil Reservoirs Classification Using Fuzzy Clustering (RESEARCH NOTE)
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a well-known method to increase oil production from oil reservoirs. Applying EOR to a new reservoir is a costly and time consuming process. Incorporating available knowledge of oil reservoirs in the EOR process eliminates these costs and saves operational time and work. This work presents a universal method to apply EOR to reservoirs based on the available data by...
