Abstract

In this paper an optimized method for unsupervised image clustering is proposed. Generally a Novel Fuzzy C Means (FCM) or FCM based clustering algorithm are used for clustering based image segmentation but these algorithms have a disadvantage of depending upon supervised user inputs such as number of clusters. Our proposed algorithm enhances an unsupervised preliminary process known as Double Cluster Tree Structure (DCTS) whose boundary structure process handled before each iteration of FCM clustering. The combined structure of these two algorithms form Adaptive Unsupervised Fuzzy C Means (AUFCM), AUFCM analyzes and segments whole dataset (image) in an unsupervised manner. The results of this algorithm show a significant improvement in segmentation Performance.
