A modified fuzzy C-means with particle swarm optimization adaptive image segmentation algorithm

A new method which the numbers of cluster is self-adapted and use up and down cut-off of FCM combined with PSO to take place of common FCM combined with PSO is proposed in this paper. Experiment's results show that compared with the method of combining the particle swarm optimization (PSO) with common FCM, it helps to make a better effect on image segmentation and optimize the numbers of cluster and converge the rate quickly.
