Fuzzy C Means Algorithm

An Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization based on the Fractional Order Darwinian method for optimizing a Fast Fuzzy C-Means algorithm is proposed. This chapter aims at enhancing the performance of Fast Fuzzy C-Means, both in terms of the overall solution and speed. To that end, the concept of fractional calculus is used to control the convergence rate of particles, wherein each one of them represents a set of cluster centers. The proposed solution, denoted as FODPSO-FFCM, is applied on liver CT images, and compared with Fast Fuzzy C-Means and PSOFFCM, using Jaccard Index and Dice Coefficient. The computational efficiency is achieved by using the histogram of the image intensities during the clustering process instead of the raw image data. The experimental results based on the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique and multiple pair-wise comparison show that the proposed algorithm is fast, accurate, and less time consuming.
