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

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

In this paper, an improved MRI segmentation method,which is based on fuzzy c-means(FCM) and DS theory, is proposed. Firstly, the average fusion method is used to reduce the uncertainty and the conflict information in the pictures. Then, the neighborhood information and the different influences of spatial location of neighborhood pixels are taken into consideration to handle the spatial information. Finally, the segmentation and the sensor data fusion are achieved by using the DS theory. The simulated images and the MRI images illustrate that our proposed method is more effective in image segmentation.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

This paper studies the rotor test-rig and the clustering of data sets and fault pattern recognitions. The present method firstly maps the data from their original space to a high dimensional Kernel space which makes the highly nonlinear data in low-dimensional space become linearly separable in Kernel space. It highlights the differences among the features of the data set. Then fuzzy C-means （FCM） is conducted in the Kernel space. Each data is assigned to the nearest class by computing the distance to the clustering center. Finally, test set is used to judge the results. The convergence rate and clustering accuracy are better than traditional FCM. The study shows that the method is effective for the accuracy of pattern recognition on rotating machinery.展开更多
