Abstract
A large number of improved variants of the Fuzzy c-means were used to segment the gray scale and color image. Nevertheless, some of them take time to yield the best and optimal results and for two reasons cannot produce adequate segmentation results for color images. This work proposes a simple FCM clustering algorithm based on the Super pixel Algorithm (SFFCM), which is considerably faster and more robust for image segmentation applications which are based purely on the color parameter. In this research work, to attain an accurate contour super pixel image for improved local spatial neighborhoods, an efficient algorithm referred as multi-scale morphological gradient reconstruction (MMGR) operation is originally described. The significance of the proposed method lies in the relationships between the pixels and how they are utilized in the flow of the application. Compared to the conventional adjacent fixed-size and shape frame, the super pixel image provides improved adaptive and exact amount of irregular local spatial communities which help to enhance color image segmentation. Coming to the next step, the original color image is essentially based on the obtained super pixel picture, and the number of pixels in each super pixel region easily decides its histogram. Ultimately, FCM is implemented to obtain final segmentation results that increase the histogram parameter on the super pixel picture. The performance of the proposed method is computed using Matlab computing language and also a statistical measure is carried out based on different parameters and their respective graphical representations.
