Remote sensing images are multispectral image data collected from several band divided by wavelength ranges. The classification of remote sensing images is the method of classifying what has similar spectral characteristics together among each pixel composing an image as the important algorithm in this field. This paper presents a pattern classification method of remote sensing images by applying a possibilistic fuzzy c-means (PFCM) algorithm. The PFCM algorithm is a hybridization of a FCM algorithm, which adopts membership degree depending on the distance between data and the center of a certain cluster, combined with a PCM algorithm, which considers class typicality of the pattern sets. In this proposed method, we select the training data for each class and perform supervised classification using the PFCM algorithm with spectral signatures of the training data. The application of the PFCM algorithm is tested and verified by using Landsat TM and IKONOS remote sensing satellite images. As a result, the overall accuracy showed a better results than the FCM, PCM algorithm or conventional maximum likelihood classification(MLC) algorithm.

A recommendation system is an information filter tool, which uses the ratings and reviews of users to generate a personalized recommendation service for users. However, the cold-start problem of users and items is still a major research hotspot on service recommendations. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a high-efficient hybrid recommendation system based on Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering and supervised learning models. The proposed recommendation method includes two aspects: on the one hand, FCM clustering technique has been applied to the item-based collaborative filtering framework to solve the cold start problem; on the other hand, the content information is integrated into the collaborative filtering. The algorithm constructs the user and item membership degree feature vector, and adopts the data representation form of the scoring matrix to the supervised learning algorithm, as well as by combining the subjective membership degree feature vector and the objective membership degree feature vector in a linear combination, the prediction accuracy is significantly improved on the public datasets with different sparsity. The efficiency of the proposed system is illustrated by conducting several experiments on MovieLens dataset.

본 논문에서는 fuzzy granular computing 방법 중의 하나인 context-based FCM을 이용하여 granular-based radial basis function neural network에 대한 기본적인 개면과 그들의 포괄적인 설계 구조에 대해서 자세히 기술한다. 제안된 모델에 기본이 되는 설계 도구는 context-based fuzzy c-means (C-FCM)로 알려진 fuzzy clustering에 초점이 맞춰져 있으며, 이는 주어진 데이터의 특징에 맞게 공간을 분할함으로써 효율적으로 모델을 구축할 수가 있다. 제안된 모델의 설계 공정은 1) Context fuzzy set에 대한 정의와 설계, 2) Context-based fuzzy clustering에 대한 모델의 적용과 이에 따른 모델 구축의 효율성, 3) 입력과 출력공간에서의 연결된 information granule에 대한 parameter(다항식의 계수들)에 대한 최적화와 같은 단계로 구성되어 있다. Information granule에 대한 parameter들은 성능지수를 최소화하기 위해 Least square method에 의해서 보정된다. 본 논문에서는 모델을 설계함에 있어서 체계적인 설계 알고리즘을 포괄적으로 설명하고 있으며 더 나아가 제안된 모델의 성능을 다른 표준적인 모델들과 대조함으로써 제안된 모델의 우수성을 나타내고자 한다.

A tire tread pattern recognition scheme of which the pattern recognition algorithm is designed based on the fuzzy hierarchical clustering method is proposed and compared with the scheme based on the conventional FCM. The features are extracted from the binary images of the tire tread patterns. In the proposed scheme, the protoypes are obtained more easily and schematically than obtained prototypes using FCM. The experimental results of classification for the practical situations are given and shows the usefulness of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, a novel approach based on wavelet transform is proposed to process the scraped character which is represented on digital image. The basis idea is that the scraped character is described by its textured neighborhood, and it is decomposed into multiresolution features at different levels with its background region. The image is first decomposed into sub bands by applying Daubechies wavelets. Character features are extracted from the low frequency sub-bands by partition, FCM clustering and area-based region process. High frequency ones are activated by applying local energy density over a moving mask. Features are synthesized in order to reconstruct the original image state through inverse wavelet transform Background region is eliminated and character is extracted. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Canine cataract is developed with aging and can cause the blindness or surgical treatment if not treated timely. In this paper, we propose a method for extracting cataract suspicious areas automatically with FCM(Fuzzy C_Means) algorithm to overcome the weakness of previously attempted ART2 based method. The proposed method applies the fuzzy stretching technique and the Max-Min based average binarization technique to the dog eye images photographed by simple devices such as mobile phones. After applying the FCM algorithm in quantization, we apply the brightness average binarization method in the quantized region. The two binarization images - Max-Min basis and brightness average binarization - are ANDed, and small noises are removed to extract the final cataract suspicious areas. In the experiment with 45 dog eye images with canine cataract, the proposed method shows better performance in correct extraction rate than the ART2 based method.

This paper proposes a multi-level thresholding method for image segmentation using fuzzy clustering algorithm in transition region. Most of threshold-based image segmentation methods determine thresholds based on the histogram distribution of a given image. Therefore, the methods have difficulty in determining thresholds for real-image, which has a complex and undistinguished distribution, and demand much computational time and memory size. To solve these problems, we determine thresholds for real-image using fuzzy clustering algorithm after extracting transition region consisting of essential and important components in image. Transition region is extracted based on Inか entropy, which is robust to noise and is well-known as a tool that describes image information. And fuzzy clustering algorithm can determine optimal thresholds for real-image and be easily extended to multi-level thresholding. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for performance.
