改进的模糊C-均值算法在医学图像分割中的应用

针对随机选取聚类中心易使得迭代过程陷入局部最优解的缺点,提出了一种混合优化蚁群和动态模糊C-均值的图像分割方法,该方法利用蚁群算法较强处理局部极值的能力,并能动态确定聚类中心和数目.针对传统的分阶段结合遗传算法和蚁群算法的策略存在收敛速度慢,聚类精度差的问题,提出在整个优化过程综合遗传算法和蚁群算法,并在蚁群算法中引入拥挤度函数,利用遗传算法的快速性、全局收敛性提高了蚁群算法的收敛速度,同时利用蚁群算法的并行性和正反馈性提高了聚类的精确度.最后将该算法应用到医学图像分割,对比实验表明,混合算法具有很强的模糊边缘和微细边缘分割能力.

An improved fuzzy C-means algorithm for segmentation of medical images

Stochastic selection of a clustering center would cause the iterative process to become trapped in a local extremum.To overcome this image segmentation problem,a hybrid method was proposed.It combined an ant colony algorithm with dynamic fuzzy clustering analysis.Thus the superior ability of the ant colony algorithm became available for dealing with local extrema.The resulting algorithm dynamically determined the number of clusters as well as clustering centers.Within the optimization procedure,we introduce...
