In general, fuzzy C-means clustering method was used on the segmentation of true color image. However, this method requires number of clusters as an input. In this study, we suggest new method that uses subtractive and gravity fuzzy C-means clustering. We get number of clusters and initial cluster centers by applying subtractive clustering on color image. After coarse segmentation of the image, we apply gravity fuzzy C-means for optimizing segmentation of the image. We show efficiency of the proposed algorithm by qualitative evaluation.

Image segmentation is teh important step in image infromation extraction for computer vison sytems. Fuzzy clustering methods have been used extensively in color image segmentation. Most analytic fuzzy clustering approaches are derived from the fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm. The FCM algorithm uses th eprobabilistic constraint that the memberships of a data point across classes sum to 1. However, the memberships resulting from the FCM do not always correspond to the intuitive concept of degree of belongingor compatibility. moreover, the FCM algorithm has considerable trouble above under noisy environments in the feature space. Recently, the possibilistic C-mean (PCM) for solving growing for color image segmentation. In the PCM, the membersip values may be interpreted as degrees of possibility of the data points belonging to the classes. So, the problems in the FCM can be solved by the PCM. The clustering results by just PCM are not smoothly bounded, and they often have holes. So, the region growing was used as a postprocessing. In our experiments, we illustrated that the proposed method is reasonable than the FCM in noisy enviironments.

Data storage related with writing and retrieving requires high storage capacity, fast transfer rate and less access time in. Today any data storage system can not satisfy these conditions, but holographic data storage system can perform faster data transfer rate because it is a page oriented memory system using volume hologram in writing and retrieving data. System architecture without mechanical actuating part is possible, so fast data transfer rate and high storage capacity about 1Tb/cm3 can be realized. In this paper, to correct errors of binary data stored in holographic digital data storage system, find cluster centers using clustering algorithm and reduce intensities of pixels around centers. We archive the procedure by two algorithms of C-mean and subtractive clustering, and compare the results of the two algorithms. By using proper clustering algorithm, the intensity profile of data page will be uniform and the better data storage system can be realized.

Data through meteorological radar includes ground echo, sea-clutter echo, anomalous propagation echo, clear echo and so on. Each echo is a kind of non-precipitation echoes and the characteristic of individual echoes is analyzed in order to identify with non-precipitation. Meteorological radar data is analyzed through pre-processing procedure because the data is given as big data. In this study, echo pattern classifier is designed to distinguish non-precipitation echoes from precipitation echo in meteorological radar data using RBFNNs and echo judgement module. Output performance is compared and analyzed by using both HCM clustering-based RBFNNs and FCM clustering-based RBFNNs.

In this paper, we propose the image watermarking method for good compression ratio and satisfactory image quality of the cover image and the embedding image. This method is based on the singular value decomposition and the vector quantization using fuzzy c-mean clustering. Experimental results show that the embedding image has invisibility and robustness to various serious attacks. The advantage of this watermarking method is that we can achieve both the compression and the watermarking method for the copyright protection simultaneously.

This paper evaluates the clustering performance of a neural network and a statistical method. Algorithms which are used in this paper are the GLVQ(Generalized Loaming vector Quantization) for a neural method and the k -means algorithm for a statistical clustering method. For comparison of two methods, we calculate the Rand's c statistics. As a result, the mean of c value obtained with the GLVQ is higher than that obtained with the k -means algorithm, while standard deviation of c value is lower. Experimental data sets were the Fisher's IRIS data and patterns extracted from handwritten numerals.

In this paper, we propose a new data clustering method using local probability and hypothesis theory. To cluster the test data set we analyze the local area of the test data set using local probability distribution and decide the candidate class of the data set using mean standard deviation and variance etc. To decide each class of the test data, statistical hypothesis theory is applied to the decided candidate class of the test data set. For evaluating, the proposed classification method is compared to the conventional fuzzy c-mean method, k-means algorithm and Discriminator analysis algorithm. The simulation results show more accuracy than results of fuzzy c-mean method, k-means algorithm and Discriminator analysis algorithm.

Fuzzy c-means clustering technique is applied to improve the accuracy of G/R ratio used for rainfall estimation by radar reflectivity. G/R ratio is computed by the ground rainfall records at AWS(Automatic Weather System) sites to the radar estimated rainfall from the reflectivity of Kwangduck Mt. radar station with 100km effective range. G/R ratio is calculated by two methods: the first one uses a single G/R ratio for the entire effective range and the other two different G/R ratio for two regions that is formed by clustering analysis, and absolute relative error and root mean squared error are employed for evaluating the accuracy of radar rainfall estimation from two G/R ratios. As a result, the radar rainfall estimated by two different G/R ratio from clustering analysis is more accurate than that by a single G/R ratio for the entire range.
