Sparse Regularization-Based Fuzzy C-Means Clustering Incorporating Morphological Grayscale Reconstruction and Wavelet Frames

Abstract: Instead of directly utilizing an observed image including some outliers, noise or intensity inhomogeneity, the use of its ideal value (e.g. noise-free image) has a favorable impact on clustering. Hence, the accurate estimation of the residual (e.g. unknown noise) between the observed image and its ideal value is an important task. To do so, we propose an ℓ0 regularization-based Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm incorporating a morphological reconstruction operation and a tight wavelet frame transform. To achieve a… Show more

“…Then it is crucial to have a robust technique that permits handling the challenges of medical images. Based on this fact, the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) is considered one of the most popular approaches for image clustering [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] . The FCM is regarded as a part of the unsupervised clustering techniques, and it has been widely used to solve complex problems.…”

“…One of the most common algorithms for clustering is the fuzzy c-means (FCM) [26] ; it is an unsupervised learning method that is simple and can maintain more information than other methods. In medical images, the FCM has been applied in different clustering problems such as [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] . The main drawbacks of the FCM are that easily affected by noise and highly time-consuming.…”

“…However, FCM performs image segmentation similarly to normal data classification without considering image local spatial information, which leads to the fact that FCM only provides tolerable image segmentation for images with simple objects and backgrounds since it is sensitive to noise, brightness, image details, etc. To improve the performance of FCM on image segmentation, many variants of FCM algorithm have been proposed, we roughly divide these algorithms into three categories: FCM with spatial distance constraints [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], FCM with filtering [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], and FCM with Markov random field (MRF) [31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…Clustering is an important unsupervised method, and the purpose of clustering is to divide a dataset into multiple clusters (or classes) with high intra-cluster similarity and low inter-cluster similarity. There have been many clustering algorithms, such as k-means (KM) and its variants [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Others are based on minimal spanning trees [ 17 , 18 , 19 ], density analysis [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], spectral analysis [ 26 , 27 ], subspace clustering [ 28 , 29 ], etc.…”

“…The higher the membership degree, the greater the possibility of the data point belonging to the cluster. Although FCM is more flexible in applications [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], it is primarily suitable for linearly separable datasets. Kernel fuzzy c-means (KFCM) [ 34 ] is a significantly improved version of fuzzy c-means for clustering linearly inseparable datasets.…”
