Improved Pso

A novel image segmentation algorithm based on fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering and improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed. The algorithm takes global search results of improved PSO as the initialized values of the FCM, effectively avoiding easily trapping into local optimum of the traditional FCM and the premature convergence of PSO. Meanwhile, the algorithm takes the clustering centers as the reference to search scope of improved PSO algorithm for global searching that are obtained through hard C-means (HCM) algorithm for improving the velocity of the algorithm. The experimental results show the proposed algorithm can converge more quickly and segment the image more effectively than the traditional FCM algorithm.
