ALLIED FUZZY c-MEANS CLUSTERING MODEL

A novel model of fuzzy clustering, i.e. an allied fuzzy c means （AFCM） model is proposed based on the combination of advantages of fuzzy c means （FCM） and possibilistic c means （PCM） clustering. PCM is sensitive to initializations and often generates coincident clusters. AFCM overcomes this shortcoming and it is an ex tension of PCM. Membership and typicality values can be simultaneously produced in AFCM. Experimental re- suits show that noise data can be well processed, coincident clusters are avoided and clustering accuracy is better.

Knowledge-Driven Possibilistic Clustering with Automatic Cluster Elimination

Traditional Fuzzy C-Means(FCM)and Possibilistic C-Means(PCM)clustering algorithms are data-driven,and their objective function minimization process is based on the available numeric data.Recently,knowledge hints have been introduced to formknowledge-driven clustering algorithms,which reveal a data structure that considers not only the relationships between data but also the compatibility with knowledge hints.However,these algorithms cannot produce the optimal number of clusters by the clustering algorithm itself;they require the assistance of evaluation indices.Moreover,knowledge hints are usually used as part of the data structure(directly replacing some clustering centers),which severely limits the flexibility of the algorithm and can lead to knowledgemisguidance.To solve this problem,this study designs a newknowledge-driven clustering algorithmcalled the PCM clusteringwith High-density Points(HP-PCM),in which domain knowledge is represented in the form of so-called high-density points.First,a newdatadensitycalculation function is proposed.The Density Knowledge Points Extraction(DKPE)method is established to filter out high-density points from the dataset to form knowledge hints.Then,these hints are incorporated into the PCM objective function so that the clustering algorithm is guided by high-density points to discover the natural data structure.Finally,the initial number of clusters is set to be greater than the true one based on the number of knowledge hints.Then,the HP-PCM algorithm automatically determines the final number of clusters during the clustering process by considering the cluster elimination mechanism.Through experimental studies,including some comparative analyses,the results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm,such as the increased success rate in clustering,the ability to determine the optimal cluster number,and the faster convergence speed.

Modified possibilistic clustering model based on kernel methods

A novel model of fuzzy clustering using kernel methods is proposed. This model is called kernel modified possibilistic c-means （KMPCM） model. The proposed model is an extension of the modified possibilistic c-means （MPCM） algorithm by using kernel methods. Different from MPCM and fuzzy c-means （FCM） model which are based on Euclidean distance, the proposed model is based on kernel-induced distance. Furthermore, with kernel methods the input data can be mapped implicitly into a high-dimensional feature space where the nonlinear pattern now appears linear. It is unnecessary to do calculation in the high-dimensional feature space because the kernel function can do it. Numerical experiments show that KMPCM outperforms FCM and MPCM.

Improved Kernel Possibilistic Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm Based on Invasive Weed Optimization

Fuzzy c-means(FCM) clustering algorithm is sensitive to noise points and outlier data, and the possibilistic fuzzy c-means(PFCM) clustering algorithm overcomes the problem well, but PFCM clustering algorithm has some problems: it is still sensitive to initial clustering centers and the clustering results are not good when the tested datasets with noise are very unequal. 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.

基于参数优化改进型可能聚类的遥感图像分割

可能聚类算法(PCA)和可能C-均值聚类算法(PCM)对初始值非常敏感,容易产生一致性聚类。改进型可能C-均值聚类算法(IPCM)能解决PCM的问题,然而IPCM的执行更依赖于参数。IPCM必须计算参数两次,因此聚类时间长。为了克服PCA和IPCM的缺点,进而应用于复杂的遥感图像分割,将PCA和IPCM相结合,提出了一种基于参数优化的改进型可能聚类算法(IPCAOP)。实验表明,IPCAOP在处理遥感图像分割方面明显优于模糊C-均值聚类(FCM)和IPCM。

An Efficient Deep Learning-based Content-based Image Retrieval Framework

The use of massive image databases has increased drastically over the few years due to evolution of multimedia technology.Image retrieval has become one of the vital tools in image processing applications.Content-Based Image Retrieval(CBIR)has been widely used in varied applications.But,the results produced by the usage of a single image feature are not satisfactory.So,multiple image features are used very often for attaining better results.But,fast and effective searching for relevant images from a database becomes a challenging task.In the previous existing system,the CBIR has used the combined feature extraction technique using color auto-correlogram,Rotation-Invariant Uniform Local Binary Patterns(RULBP)and local energy.However,the existing system does not provide significant results in terms of recall and precision.Also,the computational complexity is higher for the existing CBIR systems.In order to handle the above mentioned issues,the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix(GLCM)with Deep Learning based Enhanced Convolution Neural Network(DLECNN)is proposed in this work.The proposed system framework includes noise reduction using histogram equalization,feature extraction using GLCM,similarity matching computation using Hierarchal and Fuzzy c-Means(HFCM)algorithm and the image retrieval using DLECNN algorithm.The histogram equalization has been used for computing the image enhancement.This enhanced image has a uniform histogram.Then,the GLCM method has been used to extract the features such as shape,texture,colour,annotations and keywords.The HFCM similarity measure is used for computing the query image vector's similarity index with every database images.For enhancing the performance of this image retrieval approach,the DLECNN algorithm is proposed to retrieve more accurate features of the image.The proposed GLCM+DLECNN algorithm provides better results associated with high accuracy,precision,recall,f-measure and lesser complexity.From the experimental results,it is clearly observed that the proposed system provides efficient image retrieval for the given query image.
