In this paper an optimized method for unsupervised image clustering is proposed. Generally a Novel Fuzzy C Means (FCM) or FCM based clustering algorithm are used for clustering based image segmentation but these algorithms have a disadvantage of depending upon supervised user inputs such as number of clusters. Our proposed algorithm enhances an unsupervised preliminary process known as Double C...

Data deals with the specific problem of partitioning a group of objects into a fixed number of subsets, so that the similarity of the objects in each subset is increased and the similarity across subsets is reduced. Several algorithms have been proposed in the literature for clustering, where k-means clustering and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering are the two popular algorithms for partitioning t...

This study proposes a new single-solution based metaheuristic, namely the Vortex Search algorithm (VS), for fuzzy clustering of ECG beats. The newly proposed metaheuristic is quite simple and highly competitive when compared to the population-based metaheuristics. In order to study the performance of the proposed method a number of experiments are performed over a dataset which is created by us...

The triple-frequency linear combination method can provide combinations with different characteristics and is one of the important methods to improve performance navigation services. Due large number performances, combinatorial clustering optimization very important, efficiency manual screening low. Firstly, based on basic model, objective equations are derived. Secondly, fuzzy c-means (FCM) al...

In view of failure characteristics of wind turbine gear box, this paper puts forward a method for fault diagnosis based on the ensemble local means decomposition (ELMD) and fuzzy C-means clustering (FCM) method. Resolve the vibration signal of different fault state of high speed gear box by ELMD to obtain the PF component, and obtain its singular value, which is composed of known sample and tes...

-Impulse noise detection is a critical issue when removing impulse noise and impulse/gaussian mixed noise. The framework combines Robust Outlyingness Ratio (ROR) detection mechanism and Fuzzy C Means (FCM) clustering algorithm and Nonlocal Means (NLM) filter. ROR for measuring how impulse like each pixel is and then all pixels are divided into four clusters according to the ROR values. The dete...

The popular fuzzy c-means algorithm (FCM) converges to a local minimum of the objective function. Hence, different initializations may lead to different results. The important issue is how to avoid getting a bad local minimum value to improve the cluster accuracy. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a popular and robust strategy for optimization problems. But the main difficulty in applyin...

The arterial input function (AIF) plays a crucial role in the quantification of cerebral perfusion parameters. The traditional method for AIF detection is based on manual operation, which is time-consuming and subjective. Two automatic methods have been reported that are based on two frequently used clustering algorithms: fuzzy c-means (FCM) and K-means. However, it is still not clear which is ...

Fuzzy C-means (FCM) is an unsupervised clustering technique and is often used for the unsupervised segmentation of multivariate images. In traditional FCM the clustering is based on spectral information only and geometrical relationship between neighbouring pixels is not used in the clustering procedure. In this paper, the Spatially Guided FCM (SGFCM) algorithm is presented which segments multi...
