Compression of magnetic resonance images (MRI) has proved to be more difficult than other medical imaging modalities. In an average sized hospital, many tora bytes of digital imaging data (MRI) are generated every year, almost all of which has to be kept. The medical image compression is currently being performed by using different algorithms. In this paper, Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm is used for the Vector Quantization (VQ). First, a digital image is divided into subblocks of fixed size, which consists of 4${\times}$4 blocks of pixels. By performing 2-D Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), we select six DCT coefficients to form the feature vector. And using FCM algorithm in constructing the VQ codebook. By doing so, the algorithm can make good time quality, and reduce the processing time while constructing the VQ codebook.

An automatic switch among ensembles of clustering algorithms is proposed as a part of the bibliographic big data retrieval system by utilizing a fuzzy inference engine as a decision support tool to select the fastest performing clustering algorithm between fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering, Newman-Girvan clustering, and the combination of both. It aims to realize the best clustering performance with the reduction of computational complexity from O($n^3$) to O(n). The automatic switch is developed by using fuzzy logic controller written in Java and accepts 3 inputs from each clustering result, i.e., number of clusters, number of vertices, and time taken to complete the clustering process. The experimental results on PC (Intel Core i5-3210M at 2.50 GHz) demonstrates that the combination of both clustering algorithms is selected as the best performing algorithm in 20 out of 27 cases with the highest percentage of 83.99%, completed in 161 seconds. The self-adapted FCM is selected as the best performing algorithm in 4 cases and the Newman-Girvan is selected in 3 cases.The automatic switch is to be incorporated into the bibliographic big data retrieval system that focuses on visualization of fuzzy relationship using hybrid approach combining FCM and Newman-Girvan algorithm, and is planning to be released to the public through the Internet.

In this paper, the design of recursive radial basis function neural networks based on incremental fuzzy c-means is introduced for processing the big data. Radial basis function neural networks consist of condition, conclusion and inference phase. Gaussian function is generally used as the activation function of the condition phase, but in this study, incremental fuzzy clustering is considered for the activation function of radial basis function neural networks, which could effectively do big data processing. In the conclusion phase, the connection weights of networks are given as the linear function. And then the connection weights are calculated by recursive least square estimation. In the inference phase, a final output is obtained by fuzzy inference method. Machine Learning datasets are employed to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed classifier, and their results are described from the viewpoint of the algorithm complexity and performance index.

RBFNNs(Radial Basis Function Neural Networks) 모델의 경우 Min-Max, HCM(Hard C-means)클러스터링 그리고 FCM(Fuzzy C-means)클러스터링 중 한가지를 통해 데이터 입자는 로드 규칙을 생성한 후 퍼지 공간을 분할 및 가우시안 함수의 정점을 정의한다. 본 논문은 기존의 방법과는 다르게 Min-Max와 FCM클러스터링을 혼합하여 로드의 규칙을 생성한 후 퍼지 공간을 분할 및 가우시안 함수의 정정을 정의하는 방법으로 사용하고자 한다. PSO최적화 알고리즘을 이용하여 같은조건에서 최적화한 기존의 방법으로 모델링된 RBFNNs와 Min-Max와 FCM 클러스터링을 혼합하여 사용한 방법의 비교를 통하여 어떤 모델의 성능이 더욱 좋은지 비교하고자 한다.

This paper presents a new system for facial expression recognition based in dimension model of internal states. The information of facial expression are extracted to the three steps. In the first step, Gabor wavelet representation extracts the edges of face components. In the second step, sparse features of facial expressions are extracted using fuzzy C-means(FCM) clustering algorithm on neutral faces, and in the third step, are extracted using the Dynamic Model(DM) on the expression images. Finally, we show the recognition of facial expression based on the dimension model of internal states using a multi-layer perceptron. The two dimensional structure of emotion shows that it is possible to recognize not only facial expressions related to basic emotions but also expressions of various emotion.

In this paper, we proposed a new architecture called radial basis function-based polynomial neural networks classifier that consists of heterogeneous neural networks such as radial basis function neural networks and polynomial neural networks. The underlying architecture of the proposed model equals to polynomial neural networks(PNNs) while polynomial neurons in PNNs are composed of Fuzzy-c means-based radial basis function neural networks(FCM-based RBFNNs) instead of the conventional polynomial function. We consider PNNs to find the optimal local models and use RBFNNs to cover the high dimensionality problems. Also, in the hidden layer of RBFNNs, FCM algorithm is used to produce some clusters based on the similarity of given dataset. The proposed model depends on some parameters such as the number of input variables in PNNs, the number of clusters and fuzzification coefficient in FCM and polynomial type in RBFNNs. A multiobjective particle swarm optimization using crowding distance (MoPSO-CD) is exploited in order to carry out both structural and parametric optimization of the proposed networks. MoPSO is introduced for not only the performance of model but also complexity and interpretability. The usefulness of the proposed model as a classifier is evaluated with the aid of some benchmark datasets such as iris and liver.

본 논문은 상대적으로 대비도 차이가 크게 나타나는 역광 이미지에 대해서 Retinex 알고리즘을 적용하여 보정 했을 경우 발생하는 밝은 영역에서의 컬러 성분의 손실을 개선하기 위한 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 역광 이미지의 경우 밝은 영역과 어두운 영역에 대한 밝기 차이가 매우 크게 발생하기 때문에 Retinex 알고리즘을 이용하여 영상의 대비도를 향상시킬 경우 밝은 영역에서의 컬러 성분이 손실되는 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 손실을 보완하기 위해서 원본 영상의 밝은 영역에 해당하는 컬러 성분을 Retinex 알고리즘으로 보정된 영상에 추가해준다. Fuzzy c-means 군집화 알고리즘을 이용하여 원본 영상에서의 밝은 영역과 어두운 영역에 대하여 모든 화소의 소속 정도를 나타내는 퍼지 소속 함수를 구한다. 밝은 영역에 대해서의 컬러 성분은 원본 영상 값에 밝은 영역 퍼지 소속 함수를 적용하고, 어두운 영역에 대해서의 컬러 성분은 Retinex 복원 영상 값에 어두운 영역 퍼지 소속 함수를 이용한다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능 평가를 위해 역광 현상이 강하게 나타나는 자연영상들을 대상으로 적용하여 기존의 Retinex 알고리즘(MSRCR) 보다 우수한 성능을 가지고 있음을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose the design of Radial Basis Function Neural Network based on PCA in order to recognize handwritten digits. The proposed pattern classifier consists of the preprocessing step of PCA and the pattern classification step of pRBFNNs. In the preprocessing step, Feature data is obtained through preprocessing step of PCA for minimizing the information loss of given data and then this data is used as input data to pRBFNNs. The hidden layer of the proposed classifier is built up by Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) clustering algorithm and the connection weights are defined as linear polynomial function. In the output layer, polynomial parameters are obtained by using Least Square Estimation (LSE). MNIST database known as one of the benchmark handwritten dataset is applied for the performance evaluation of the proposed classifier. The experimental results of the proposed system are compared with other existing classifiers.
