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.

This paper presents a hybrid differential evolution, particle swarm optimization and fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm called DEPSO-FCM for image segmentation. By the use of the differential evolution (DE) algorithm and particle swarm optimization to solve the FCM image segmentation influenced by the initial cluster centers and easily into a local optimum. Empirical results show that the proposed DEPSO-FCM has strong anti-noise ability; it can improve FCM and get better image segmentation results. In particular, for the HSI color image segmentation, the DEPSO-FCM can effectively solve the instability of FCM and the error split because of the singularity of the H component.
