Fuzzy c-means clustering is a popular image segmentation technique, in which a single pixel belongs to multiple clusters, with varying degree of membership. The main drawback of this method is it sensitive to noise. This method can be improved by incorporating multiresolution stationary wavelet analysis. In this paper we develop a robust image segmentation method using Fuzzy c-means clustering and wavelet transform. The experimental result shows that the proposed method is more accurate than the Fuzzy c-means clustering.


Image thresholding is an extraction method of objects from a background scene, which is used most of the time to evaluate and interpret images because of their advanced simplicity, robustness, time reduced, and precision. The main objective is to distinguish the subject from the background of the image segmentation. As the ordinary image segmentation threshold approach is computerized costly while the necessity for optimization techniques are highly recommended for multi-tier image thresholds. Level object segmentation threshold by using Shannon entropy and Fuzzy entropy maximized with hGSA-PS. An entropy maximization of hGSA-PS dependent multilevel image thresholds is developed, where the results are best demonstrated in PSNR, misclassification, structural similarity index and segmented image quality compared to the Firefly algorithm, adaptive cuckoo search algorithm and the search algorithm gravitational.

Image segmentation is an important part of image processing. For the disadvantages of image segmentation under multiple thresholds such as long time and poor quality, an improved cuckoo search (ICS) is proposed for multithreshold image segmentation strategy. Firstly, the image segmentation model based on the maximum entropy threshold is described, and secondly, the cuckoo algorithm is improved by using chaotic initialization population to improve the diversity of solutions, optimizing the step size factor to improve the possibility of obtaining the optimal solution, and using probability to reduce the complexity of the algorithm; finally, the maximum entropy threshold function in image segmentation is used as the individual fitness function of the cuckoo search algorithm for solving. The simulation experiments show that the algorithm has a good segmentation effect under four different thresholding conditions.
