SAR image segmentation is the pre-process for SAR image application. This paper presents a new SAR image segmentation algorithm combining both the the bias field and Markov random field(MRF) characteristic with fuzzy clustering model(FCM) called BMFCM. The MRF characteristic of an image includes the spatial information of the image and the bias filed estimation is introduced to deal with the grey...
In this paper, a novel adaptive digital image watermarking model based on modified Fuzzy C-means clustering is proposed. For watermark embedding process, we used Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). A segmentation technique XieBeni integrated Fuzzy C-means clustering (XFCM) is used to identify the segments of original image to expose suitable locations for embedding watermark. We also pre-processed the...
Segmentation of the brain MRI into its constituent White Matter (WM), Gray Matter (GM) and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a vital task for the diagnosis of various neurological diseases. In this work, mathematical morphology has been employed for contrast enhancement of the brain T2-wighted MRI, followed by segmentation with the help of Fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering algorithm. The proposed method has...
Tumor creates as a lopsided mass of tissues that can be condensed or liquid-filled. It can grow in any part of body. A tumor sometimes can cause to cancer as it will grow in deadly form or sometimes it doesn't mean to be like cancer or like so serious condition. Tumors have lots of names and their name have been categorized by their various shapes and their containing material. This paper is based...
Clustering analysis, as a hot direction in the field of data mining, has attracted more and more attention in recent years. For the feature of the unsupervised data processing, the clustering analysis can be used to manage well mass media resources. It has applied in image segmentation and image retrieval system nowadays.
A new image segmentation method is proposed in this paper for improving the effect of the image segmentation. First, an original image is nonlinear mapped into a higher dimension kernel space, and the data are better separated under the kernel space comparing with that under the original image space, then, the number of categories of the image is determined by analyzing the image histogram using gauss...
The proposed system consists of a hybrid techniques are combining SVM algorithm along with two combined clustering techniques such as k-mean techniques, fuzzy c-mean methods, these all are used to find out the brain tumor. The hybrid techniques are involving image enhancement which is done by contrast improvement and midrange stretch, skull striping is done through double thresholding using morphological...
Tumor is swelling of the body part, generally without any inflammation that happens due to abnormal growth of cells in that place of the body. Brain tumor is difficult to diagnose at initial stage. The tumor is diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and depending on it, the tumors are distinguished into different grades of severity. This paper presents a new method to detect and extract tumor...
Side scan sonar has been widely used in ocean investigations, underwater object detection by side scan sonar is one of the most essential and fundamental tasks these years. In this paper, we present one simplified underwater object detection scheme with the help of shadow removal of side scan sonar images. The fuzzy C-mean clustering (FCM) algorithm is first taken to partition all pixels from the...
To segment multi-spectral remote sensor images, feature extraction and object classification is an essential step that performs region-based segmentation instead of a pixel-based segmentation. Spectral based segmentation methods like K-Means, Mean-shift segmentation fail to extract optimal regions from multi-spectral images. In high-resolution multi-spectral images, segmentation main aim is to divide...
In order to obtain good welding quality, it is necessary to apply quality control because there are many influencing factors in the X-ray welding process. The key to realize welding quality control is to obtain the quality information. Automatic detection of weld defects (ADWD) is an important part of the welding quality assurance, while the extraction of weld region is the base of feature extraction...
Image segmentation with clustering approach is widely used in biomedical application. Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering is able to preserve the information between tissues in image, but not taking spatial information into account, makes segmentation results of the standard FCM sensitive to noise. To overcome the above shortcoming, a modified FCM algorithm for MRI brain image segmentation is presented...
In the field of neuropsychiatrie disorders, it is known that brain segmentation is important for both detection and diagnosis. The segmentation of the brain, which leads to the computation of brain volume proved to be vital in the detection of many brain pathology having Computed Tomography (CT) scan as the primary modality. Due to the fact that Fuzzy c-Means (FCM) proven to be robust, it is often...
The brain Magnetic Resonance (MR) image has an embedded bias field. This field need to be corrected to obtain the actual MR image for classification. In this paper, we have proposed three new schemes to simultaneously estimate the bias field and obtain segmentation. These algorithms are modification of Ahmed et al.'s [4] Bias Corrected FCM (BCFCM) algorithm. The first proposed scheme considers the...

The proposed algorithm is tested in mammogram image segmentation approximately with 0.92 of segmentation index. The pulse mode stochastic computing technique is implemented with a simple bloc avoiding the...
Because of the high calculating complexity of classical two-dimensional Renyi entropy thresholding, an improved algorithm is proposed in the paper. Instead of calculating the traditional 2D Renyi threshold, it reduced the complexity by computing two 1D Renyi threshold. In order to improve the global segmentation performance, we adopted FCM (Fuzzy C-means Clustering) to the algorithm. Experimental...
The images received from the satellite contains huge amount of data for further processing in image analysis. An efficient and effective segmentation method is essential to retrieve or extract the necessary information from the satellite images. The images received from satellite are usually in RGB color space. This color space is not preferred for image segmentation because this space is not perceptually...

In particular, the concept of information gain has been incorporated into classical fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm in order to develop a robust clustering method. FCM is associated with high sensitivity to noise and produces non-homogenous clustering. To induce robustness...
One of the most commonly used methods for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) segmentation is Fuzzy C-Means (FCM). This method in comparison with other methods preserves more information of the images. Because of using the intensity of pixels as a key feature for clustering, Standard FCM is sensitive to noise. In this study in addition to intensity, mean of neighbourhood of pixels and largest singular...
