Abstract

In this paper, we presented a new spatial fuzzy clustering algorithm optimised by the Artificial Bees Colony (ABC) algorithm. By introducing the global search of ABC algorithm into the spatial Fuzzy C-Means Clustering algorithm, a new kind of methods (SFCM-ABC) is proposed. SFCM-ABC has two major characteristics. First it tackles better noisy image segmentation by making use of the spatial local information into the membership function. Secondly, it improves the global performance by taking advantages of the globalized search in the entire solution space of ABC rather than a localized searching like in FCM algorithm. Experiments with synthetic and real images show that SFCM-ABC is robust to noise compared to other methods. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ij-ai.v1i3.765 Full Text: PDF
