In the arena of software, data mining technology has been considered as useful means for identifying patterns and trends of large volume of data. This approach is basically used to extract the unknown pattern from the large set of data for business as well as real time applications. It is a computational intelligence discipline which has emerged as a valuable tool for data analysis, new knowled...

This paper presents a comparison of the three fuzzy based image segmentation methods namely Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), TYPE-II Fuzzy C-Means (T2FCM), and Intuitionistic Fuzzy C-Means (IFCM) for digital images with varied levels of noise. Apart from qualitative performance, the paper also presents quantitative analysis of these three algorithms using four validity functions-Partition coefficient (Vpc)...

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...

To identify T-S models, this paper presents a so-called “subtractive fuzzy C-means clustering” approach, in which the results of subtractive clustering are applied to initialize clustering centers and the number of rules in order to perform adaptive clustering. This method not only regulates the division of fuzzy inference system input and output space and determines the relative member functio...

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 ...
