Abstract:

Fuzzy clustering has been used widely in many fields, and its distance metric plays a key role in clustering performance. A new

To improve the anti-noise ability of fuzzy local information C-means  clustering, a robust entropy-like distance driven fuzzy clustering with local information is proposed. This paper firstly uses Jensen-Shannon divergence to induce a symmetric entropy-like divergence. Then the root of entropy-like divergence is proved to be a distance measure, and it is applied to existing fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering to obtain a new entropy-like divergence driven fuzzy clustering, meanwhile its convergence is strictly proved by Zangwill theorem. In the end, a robust fuzzy clustering by combing local information with entropy-like distance is constructed to segment image with noise. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better segmentation accuracy and robustness against noise than existing state-of-the-art fuzzy clustering-related segmentation algorithm in the presence of noise.

Key words: fuzzy clustering, image segmentation, entropy-like divergence, robust clustering algorithm
