Abstract
Superpixel-based fast fuzzy C-means clustering (SFFCM) is an efficient method for color image segmentation. However, it is sensitive to noise and blur. Its superpixel method called multiscale morphological gradient reconstruction (MMGR) is time consuming. In this paper, we propose an improved SFFCM method (ISFFCM) which replaces the MMGR in SFFCM with fuzzy simple linear iterative clustering (Fuzzy SLIC). Fuzzy SLIC is faster and more robust than MMGR for most types of noise, including salt and pepper noise, Gaussian noise and multiplicative noise. It is also more robust to image blur. In the validation experiments, we tested ISFFCM and SFFCM on the Berkeley benchmark. The experiment results show that our method outperforms SFFCM under noise and blurring environments.
