Kernel-based Fuzzy Clustering Incorporating Spatial Constraints for Image Segmentation

چکیده
The 'kernel method' has attracted great attention with the development of support vector machine (SVM) and has been studied in a general way. In this paper, we present a kernel-based fuzzy clustering algorithm that exploits the spatial contextual information in image data. The algorithm is realized by modifying the objective function in the conventional fuzzy c-means algorithm using a kernel-induced distance metric and a spatial penalty term that takes into account the influence of the neighboring pixels on the centre pixel. Experimental results on both synthetic and real MR images show that the proposed algorithm is more robust to noise than the conventional fuzzy image segmentation algorithms.

Generalized Spatial Kernel based Fuzzy C-Means Clustering Algorithm for Image Segmentation
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...
متن کاملImage Segmentation Using Fuzzy Clustering Incorporating Spatial Information
Effective image segmentation cannot be achieved for a fuzzy clustering algorithm based on using only pixel intensity, pixel locations or a combination of the two. Often if both pixel intensity and pixel location are combined, one feature tends to minimize the effect of other, thus degrading the resulting segmentation. This paper directly addresses this problem by introducing a new algorithm cal...

متن کاملGaussian Kernelized Fuzzy c-means with Spatial Information Algorithm for Image Segmentation
FCM is used for image segmentation in some applications. It is based on a specific distance norm and does not use spatial information of the image, so it has some drawbacks. Various kinds of improvements have been developed to extend the adaptability, such as BFCM, SFCM and KFCM. These methods extend FCM from two aspects, one is replacing the Euclidean norm, and the other is considering the spa...

This paper introduces a new image segmentation method in the framework of Shadowed C-Means clustering. By implanting the local spatial information in the estimation procedure of membership values and mapping the original data into a high dimensional Hilbert space, we propose the Kernel Spatial Shadowed C-Means (KSSCM) clustering algorithm. Compared with traditional Fuzzy C-Means and Shadowed C-...
