This paper presents a latest survey of different technologies using fuzzy clustering algorithms. Clustering approach is widely used in biomedical field like image segmentation. A different methods are used for medical image segmentation like Improved Fuzzy C Means(IFCM), Possibilistic C Means(PCM),Fuzzy Possibilistic C Means(FPCM), Modified Fuzzy Possibilistic C Means(MFPCM) and Possibilistic F...

In this paper we propose the Possibilistic C-Means in Feature Space and the One-Cluster Possibilistic C-Means in Feature Space algorithms which are kernel methods for clustering in feature space based on the possibilistic approach to clustering. The proposed algorithms retain the properties of the possibilistic clustering, working as density estimators in feature space and showing high robustne...

The analysis and processing of large data are a challenge for researchers. Several approaches have been used to model these complex data, and they are based on some mathematical theories: fuzzy, probabilistic, possibilistic, and evidence theories. In this work, we propose a new unsupervised classification approach that combines the fuzzy and possibilistic theories; our purpose is to overcome th...

In this paper, application of possibilistic clustering techniques to identification of local linear models will be discussed. In particular, a generalisation of some possibilistic algorithms in the bibliography is obtained. With the presented procedures, a trade-off between an “expected shape” of the membership functions and model fit can be stated. Possibilistic clustering may allow for better...

We explore an approach to possibilistic fuzzy clustering that avoids a severe drawback of the conventional approach, namely that the objective function is truly minimized only if all cluster centers are identical. Our approach is based on the idea that this undesired property can be avoided if we introduce a mutual repulsion of the clusters, so that they are forced away from each other. We deve...

This paper deals with a portfolio selection problem with independently estimated possibilistic return rates. Under such a circumstance, a distributive investment has been regarded as a good solution in the traditional portfolio theory. However, the conventional possibilistic approach yields a concentrated investment solution. Considering the reason why a distributive investment is advocated, a ...

Image segmentation is a process by which an image is partitioned into regions with similar features. Many approaches have been proposed for color image segmentation, but Fuzzy C-Means has been widely used, because it has a good performance in a large class of images. However, it is not adequate for noisy images and it also takes more time for execution as compared to other method as K-means. Fo...
