A novel robust and fast Segmentation of the Color Images using Fuzzy Classification C-means

Abstract

This paper brings out a method for segmentation of color images based on fuzzy classification. It proceeds in a first step by a fine segmentation using the algorithm of fuzzy cmeans (FCM). The method then applies a test fusion of fuzzy classes. The result is a coarse segmentation, where each region is the union of elementary regions grown from FCM. The fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering is an iterative partitioning method that produces optimal c-partitions, the standard FCM algorithm takes a long time to partition a large data set. The proposed FCM program must read the entire data set into a memory for processing. Our results show that the system performance is robust to different types of images.
