High-quality clustering methods are necessary for the valuable and efficient analysis of the increasing data. The Firefly Algorithm (FA) is one of the bio-inspired algorithms and it is recently used to solve the clustering problems. In this paper, Hybrid F-Firefly algorithm is developed by combining the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) with FA to improve the clustering accuracy with global optimum solution. The Hybrid F-Firefly algorithm is developed by incorporating FCM operator at the end of each iteration in FA algorithm. This proposed algorithm is designed to utilize the goodness of existing algorithm and to enhance the original FA algorithm by solving the shortcomings in the FCM algorithm like the trapping in local optima and sensitive to initial seed points. In this research work, the Hybrid F-Firefly algorithm is implemented and experimentally tested for various performance measures under six different benchmark datasets. From the experimental results, it is observed that the Hybrid F-Firefly algorithm significantly improves the intra-cluster distance when compared with the existing algorithms like K-means, FCM and FA algorithm.展开更多

However,the precision and the speed of segmentation can not meet the need of image analysis,due to strong uncertainty and rich texture details of remote sensing images. We proposed a new segmentation method based on Adaptive Genetic Algorithm(AGA) and Alternative Fuzzy C-Means(AFCM) . Segmentation thresholds were identified by AGA. Then the image was segmented by AFCM. The results indicate that the precision and the speed of segmentation have been greatly increased,and the accuracy of threshold selection is much higher compared with traditional Otsu and Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) segmentation methods. The segmentation results also show that multi-thresholds segmentation has been achieved by combining AGA with AFCM.展开更多

An improved kernel possibilistic fuzzy c-means algorithm based on invasive weed optimization(IWO-KPFCM) is proposed in this paper. This algorithm first uses invasive weed optimization(IWO) algorithm to seek the optimal solution as the initial clustering centers, and introduces kernel method to make the input data from the sample space map into the high-dimensional feature space. Then, the sample variance is introduced in the objection function to measure the compact degree of data. Finally, the improved algorithm is used to cluster data. The simulation results of the University of California-Irvine(UCI) data sets and artificial data sets show that the proposed algorithm has stronger ability to resist noise, higher cluster accuracy and faster convergence speed than the PFCM algorithm.展开更多

Because of the fuzzy nature of the MRI images, many researchers have adopted the fuzzy clustering approach to segment them. In this work, a fast and robust multi-agent system (MAS) for MRI segmentation of the brain is proposed. This system gets its robustness from a robust c-means algorithm (RFCM) and obtains its fastness from the beneficial properties of agents, such as autonomy, social ability and reactivity. To show the efficiency of the proposed method, we test it on a normal brain brought from the BrainWeb Simulated Brain Database. The experimental results are valuable in both robustness to noise and running times standpoints.展开更多

Fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) is used to classify the original image blocks into two classes based on several characteristic parameters of human visual system (HVS). One is suited for embedding a digital watermark, the other is not. So the appropriate blocks in an image are selected to embed the watermark. The wetermark is embedded in the middle-frequency part of the host image in conjunction with HVS and discrete cosine transform (DCT). The maximal watermark strength is fixed according to the frequency masking. In the same time, for the good performance, the watermark is modulated into a fractal modulation array. The simulation results show that we can remarkably extract the hiding watermark and the algorithm can achieve good robustness with common signal distortion or geometric distortion and the quality of the watermarked image is guaranteed.展开更多

This technique is a combi-nation of the usage of polarimetric information of SAR images and the unsupervised classification method based on fuzzy set theory. Image quantization and image enhancement are used to preprocess the POLSAR data. Then the polarimetric information and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm are used to classify the preprocessed images. The advantages of this algorithm are the automated classification, its high classifica-tion accuracy, fast convergence and high stability. The effectiveness of this algorithm is demonstrated by ex-periments using SIR-C/X-SAR (Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar) data.展开更多

In many cases it is necessary to somehow classify data or find regularities in them. Results obtained in the search of regularities in intelligent data analyzing applications are mostly represented with the help of IF-THEN rules. With the help of these rules the following tasks are solved: prediction, classification, pattern recognition and others. Using different approaches---clustering algorithms, neural network methods, fuzzy rule processing methods--we can extract rules that in an understandable language characterize the data. This allows interpreting the data, finding relationships in the data and extracting new rules that characterize them. Knowledge acquisition in this paper is defined as the process of extracting knowledge from numerical data in the form of rules. Extraction of rules in this context is based on clustering methods K-means and fuzzy C-means. With the assistance of K-means, clustering algorithm rules are derived from trained neural networks. Fuzzy C-means is used in fuzzy rule based design method. Rule extraction methodology is demonstrated in the Fisher's Iris flower data set samples. The effectiveness of the extracted rules is evaluated. Clustering and rule extraction methodology can be widely used in evaluating and analyzing various economic and financial processes.展开更多

These are Self-Organizing Map (SOM), Neural Gas (NG) and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithms. SOM and NG algorithms are based on competitive leaming. An important property of these algorithms is that they preserve the topological structure of data. This means that data that is close in input distribution is mapped to nearby locations in the network. The FCM algorithm is an algorithm based on soft clustering which means that the different clusters are not necessarily distinct, but may overlap. This clustering method may be very useful in many biological problems, for instance in genetics, where a gene may belong to different clusters. The different algorithms are compared in terms of their visualization of the clustering of proteomic data.展开更多
