Thus, a KNN-based two-step FCM weighted （KTFW） algorithm for indoor positioning in wireless local area networks （WLAN） is presented in this paper. In KTFW algorithm, k reference points （RPs） chosen by KNN are clustered through FCM based on received signal strength （RSS） and location coordinates. The right clusters are chosen according to rules, so three sets of RPs are formed including the set of k RPs chosen by KNN and are given different weights. RPs supposed to have better contribution to positioning accuracy are given larger weights to improve the positioning accuracy. Simulation results indicate that KTFW generally outperforms KNN and its complexity is greatly reduced through providing initial clustering centers for FCM.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

Five evaluation functions are combined to extract key phrases. Concept phrases, as well as the descriptions of final clusters, are presented using WordNet origin from key phrases. Initial centers and membership matrix are the most important factors affecting clustering performance. Orthogonal concept topic sub-spaces are built with the topic concept phrases representing topics of the texts and the initialization of centers and the membership matrix depend on the concept vectors in sub-spaces. The results show that, different from random initialization of traditional fuzzy c-means clustering, the initialization related to text content contributions can improve clustering precision.展开更多

First, FCM clustering is employed to classify the data into different clusters, which helps to estimate whether there is a fault and how many fault types there are. If fault signals exist, the fault vibration signals are then demodulated and decomposed into different frequency bands by MMEMD in order to be analyzed further. In order to overcome the mode mixing defect of empirical mode decomposition (EMD), a novel method called MMEMD is proposed. It is an improvement to masking empirical mode decomposition (MEMD). By adding multi-masking signals to the signals to be decomposed in different levels, it can restrain low-frequency components from mixing in highfrequency components effectively in the sifting process and then suppress the mode mixing. It has the advantages of easy implementation and strong ability of suppressing modal mixing. The fault type is determined by Hilbert envelope finally. The results of simulation signal decomposition showed the high performance of MMEMD. Experiments of bearing fault diagnosis in wind turbine bearing fault diagnosis proved the validity and high accuracy of the new method.展开更多

To improve these problems, a novel method combining subtractive clustering with fuzzy C-means( FCM)clustering will be advanced. In the method, the initial cluster number and cluster center can be obtained using subtractive clustering. On this basis,clustering result will be further optimized with FCM. In addition,the data dimension will be reduced through the analytic hierarchy process( AHP) before clustering calculating.In order to verify the effectiveness of fusion algorithm,an example about enterprise credit evaluation will be carried out. The results show that the fusion clustering algorithm is suitable for classifying high-dimension data,and the algorithm also does well in running up processing speed and improving visibility of result.
