Review on Fuzzy Clustering Algorithms

Image segmentation especially fuzzy-based segmentation techniques are widely used due to effective segmentation performance. For this reason, a number of algorithms are proposed in the literature. This paper presents a survey report of different types of classical fuzzy clustering techniques which are available in the literature.
