Principal methods in nonhierarchical and hierarchical fuzzy clustering are overviewed. In particular, the method of fuzzy c-means is focused upon and recent algorithms in fuzzy c-means are described. It is shown that the concept of regularization plays an important role in the fuzzy c-means. Classification functions induced from fuzzy clustering are discussed and variations of the standard fuzz...

Image Classification is the evolution of separating or grouping an image into different parts. The good act of recognition algorithms based on the quality of classified image. The good feat of recognition algorithms based on the quality of classified image. An important problem in SAR image application is accurate classification. Image segmentation is the mainly practical loom among virtually a...

This paper presents a semi-supervised kernel-based fuzzy c-means algorithm called S2KFCM by introducing semi-supervised learning technique and the kernel method simultaneously into conventional fuzzy clustering algorithm. Through using labeled and unlabeled data together, S2KFCM can be applied to both clustering and classification tasks. However, only the latter is concerned in this paper. Expe...

In this paper we introduce Median Fuzzy C-Means (MFCM). This algorithm extends the Median C-Means (MCM) algorithm by allowing fuzzy values for the cluster assignments. To evaluate the performance of M-FCM, we compare the results with the clustering obtained by employing MCM and Median Neural Gas (MNG).

Middle spatial resolution multi-spectral remote sensing image is a kind of color image with low contrast, fuzzy boundaries and informative features. In view of these features, the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is an ideal choice for image segmentation. However, fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm requires a pre-specified number of clusters and costs large computation time, which is easy to ...

Pattern recognition is a collection of computer techniques to classify various observations into different clusters of similar attributes in either supervised or unsupervised manner. Application of fuzzy logic to unsupervised classification or clustering methods has resulted in many wildly used techniques such as fuzzy c-means (FCM) method. However, when the observations are too noisy, the perf...

Horizontal collaborative clustering is such a clustering method that carries clustering on one data set describing a pattern set in one feature space with collaborative introducing of outer partition information obtained by clustering on another data set but describing the same pattern set in another feature space. In order to implement the collaborative clustering, horizontal collaborative fuz...

Many data sets to be clustered are stored in relational databases. Having a clusterization algorithm implemented in SQL provides easier clusterization inside a relational DBMS than outside with some alternative tools. In this paper we propose Fuzzy c-Means clustering algorithm adapted for PostgreSQL open-source relational DBMS.

Intelligent autonomous robots and multiagent systems, having different skills and capabilities for specific subtasks, have the potential to solve problems more efficiently and effectively. In this paper both f i m y logic (FL) and subtractive clustering (SC) are used for the design of autonomous robot behaviours. The design procedure is conducted in two stages: first subtractive clustering is a...
