Image differencing is usually done by subtracting the low-level skin texture like strength
in images that are already associated. This paper extracts high-level skin texture in order to find out
an efficient image differencing method for the analysis of Brain Tumor. On the other hand, this
produces sets of skin texture that are both spatial. We demonstrate a technique that avoids arbitrary
spatial constraints and is robust in the presence of sound, outliers, and imaging artifact, while
outperforming even profitable products in the analysis of Brain Tumor images. First, the landmark
are establish, and then the top entrant are sorted into a end set. Second, the top sets of the two
descriptions are then differenced through a cluster judgment. The symmetry of the human body is
utilized to increase the accuracy of the finding. We imitate this technique in an effort to understand
and ultimately capture the judgment of the radiologist. The image differencing with clustered
contrast process determines the being there of Brain Tumor. Using the most favorable features
extracted from normal and tumor regions of MRI by using arithmetical features, classifiers are used
to categorize and segment the tumor portion in irregular images. Both the difficult and preparation
phase gives the proportion of accuracy on each parameter in neural networks, which gives the idea to
decide the best one to be used in supplementary works. The results showed outperformance of
algorithm when compared with classification accuracy which works as shows potential tool for
classification and requires extension in brain tumor analysis.

The current study investigated a median filter with the fuzzy level set method to propose fuzzy segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cerebral tissue images. An MRI image was used as an input image. A median filter and fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering were utilized to remove image noise and create image clusters, respectively. The image clusters showed initial and final cluster centers. The level set method was then used for segmentation after separating and extracting white matter from gray matter. Fuzzy c-means was sensitive to the choice of the initial cluster center. Improper center selection caused the method to produce suboptimal solutions. The proposed algorithm was successfully utilized to segment MRI cerebral tissue images. The algorithm efficiently performed segmentation of test MRI cerebral tissue images compared with algorithms proposed in previous studies.

Comparative analysis of multimodal medical image fusion using pca and wavelet...IJLT EMAS
nowadays, there are a lot of medical images and their
numbers are increasing day by day. These medical images are
stored in large database. To minimize the redundancy and
optimize the storage capacity of images, medical image fusion is
used. The main aim of medical image fusion is to combine
complementary information from multiple imaging modalities
(Eg: CT, MRI, PET etc.) of the same scene. After performing
image fusion, the resultant image is more informative and
suitable for patient diagnosis. There are some fusion techniques
which are described in this paper to obtain fused image. This
paper presents two approaches to image fusion, namely Spatial
Fusion and Transform Fusion. This paper describes Techniques
such as Principal Component Analysis which is spatial domain
technique and Discrete Wavelet Transform, Stationary Wavelet
Transform which are Transform domain techniques.
Performance metrics are implemented to evaluate the
performance of image fusion algorithm. An experimental result
shows that image fusion method based on Stationary Wavelet
Transform is better than Principal Component Analysis and
Discrete Wavelet Transform.

Image segmentation plays a vital role in image processing over the last few years. The goal of image segmentation is to cluster the pixels into salient image regions i.e., regions corresponding to individual surfaces, objects, or natural parts of objects. In this paper, we propose a medical diagnosis system by using level set method for segmenting the MRI image which investigates a new variational level set algorithm without re- initialization to segment the MRI image and to implement a competent medical diagnosis system by using MATLAB. Here we have used the speed function and the signed distance function of the image in segmentation algorithm. This system consists of thresholding technique, curve evolution technique and an eroding technique. Our proposed system was tested on some MRI Brain images, giving promising results by detecting the normal or abnormal condition specially the existence of tumers. This system will be applied to both simulated and real images with promising results

Image processing is widely used in biomedical applications. Image processing can be used to analyze
different MRI brain images in order to get the abnormality in the image .The objective is to extract meaningful
information from the imaged signals. Image segmentation is a process of partitioning an image in to different parts.
The division in to parts is often based on the characteristics of the pixels in the image. In our paper the segmentation
of the tumour tissues is carried out using k-means and fuzzy c-means clustering.Tumour can be found and faster
detection is achieved with only few seconds for execution. The input image of the brain is taken from the available
database and the presence of tumourin input image can be detected.

Segmentation is a process of partitioning the image into several objects. It plays a vital role in many fields
such as satellite, remote sensing, object identification, face tracking and most importantly in medical field.
In radiology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to investigate the human body processes and
functions of organisms. In hospitals, this technique has been using widely for medical diagnosis, to find the
disease stage and follow-up without exposure to ionizing radiation.Here in this paper, we proposed a novel
MR brain image segmentation method for detecting the tumor and finding the tumor area with improved

Multi fractal analysis of human brain mr imageeSAT Journals
Abstract In computer programming, code smell may origin of latent problems in source code. Detecting and resolving bad smells remain time intense for software engineers despite proposals on bad smell detecting and refactoring tools. Numerous code smells have been recognized yet the sequence in which the detection and resolution of different kinds of code smells are performed because software engineers do not know how to optimize sequence. In this paper, the novel refactoring approach is proposed to improve the performance of programs. In this recommended approach the code smells are automatically detected and refactored. The simulation results propose the reduction of time over the semi-automated refactoring are achieved when code smells are refactored by using multi-step automated refactoring.

Image registration is the fundamental task used to
match two or more partially overlapping images taken, for
example, at different times,from different sensors, or from
different viewpoints and stitch these images into one
panoramic image comprising the whole scene. It is
afundamental image processing technique and is very useful
in integrating information from different sensors, finding
changes in images taken at different times, inferring threedimensional
information from stereo images, and recognizing
model-based objects.
This paper overviews the theoretical aspects of an image
registration problem. The purpose of this paper is to present a
survey of image registration techniques. This technique of
image registration aligns two images geometrically. These two
images are reference image and sensed image. The ultimate
purpose of digital image filtering is to support the visual
identification of certain features expressed by characteristic
shapes and patterns. Numerous recipes, algorithms and ready
made programs exist nowadays that predominantly have in
common that users have to set certain parameters.
Particularly if processing is fast and shows results rather
immediately, the choice of parameters may be guided by
making the image ―looking nice‖. However, in practical
situations most users are not in a mood to ―play around‖
with a displayed image, particularly if they are in a stressy
situation as it may encountered in security applications. The
requirements for the application of digital image processing
under such circumstances will be discussed with an example
of automaticfiltering without manual parameter settings that
even entails the advantage of delivering unbiased results
An ensemble classification algorithm for hyperspectral imagessipij
Hyperspectral image analysis has been used for many purposes in environmental monitoring, remote
sensing, vegetation research and also for land cover classification. A hyperspectral image consists of many
layers in which each layer represents a specific wavelength. The layers stack on top of one another making
a cube-like image for entire spectrum. This work aims to classify the hyperspectral images and to produce
a thematic map accurately. Spatial information of hyperspectral images is collected by applying
morphological profile and local binary pattern. Support vector machine is an efficient classification
algorithm for classifying the hyperspectral images. Genetic algorithm is used to obtain the best feature
subjected for classification. Selected features are classified for obtaining the classes and to produce a
thematic map. Experiment is carried out with AVIRIS Indian Pines and ROSIS Pavia University. Proposed
method produces accuracy as 93% for Indian Pines and 92% for Pavia University.

Partitioning of an image into several constituent components is called image segmentation.
Myriad algorithms using different methods have been proposed for image segmentation. Many
clustering algorithms and optimization techniques are also being used for segmentation of
images. A major challenge in segmentation evaluation comes from the fundamental conflict
between generality and objectivity. As there is a glut of image segmentation techniques

paper to address the above described problem some image segmentation techniques are evaluated based on their consistency in different applications. Based on the parameters used quantification of different clustering algorithms is done.
Segmentation of Brain MR Images for Tumor Extraction by Combining Kmeans Clus...CSCJournals
Segmentation of images holds an important position in the area of image processing. It becomes more important while typically dealing with medical images where pre-surgery and post surgery decisions are required for the purpose of initiating and speeding up the recovery process [5] Computer aided detection of abnormal growth of tissues is primarily motivated by the necessity of achieving maximum possible accuracy. Manual segmentation of these abnormal tissues cannot be compared with modern day’s high speed computing machines which enable us to visually observe the volume and location of unwanted tissues. A well known segmentation problem within MRI is the task of labeling voxels according to their tissue type which include White Matter (WM), Grey Matter (GM) , Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) and sometimes pathological tissues like tumor etc. This paper describes an efficient method for automatic brain tumor segmentation for the extraction of tumor tissues from MR images. It combines Perona and Malik anisotropic diffusion model for image enhancement and Kmeans clustering technique for grouping tissues belonging to a specific group. The proposed method uses T1, T2 and PD weighted gray level intensity images. The proposed technique produced appreciative results

Abstract: Every community produces both liquid and solid wastes and air emissions. The liquid wastewastewater-is
essentially the water supply of the community after it has been used in a variety of applications.
From the standpoint of sources of generation, wastewater may be defined as a combination of the liquid or
water-carried wastes removed from residences, institutions, commercial and industrial establishments, together
with such groundwater, surfacewater and stromwater as may be present. This waste water through sewer comes
to the sewage treatment plant so that parameters are reduced and treated wastewater be disposed into water or
land. For treating the sewage UASB( UP FLOW ANAEROBIC SLUDGE BLANKET) and SBR(SEQUENCING
BATCH REACTOR) technologies are mostly used.
All the parameters of these samples were analyzed using standard methods prescribed in “Standard methods for
examination of water and wastewater”. It was observed that pH & temperature values at outlet by both the
processes are almost same. Reading were taking on two consecutive days and value of Biochemical Oxygen
Demand by UASB process was 32, 32mg/l and by SBR process was 11, 16mg/l. Chemical oxygen Demand by
UASB process was 112, 96mg/l and by SBR process was 32, 34mg/l. Total Suspended Solids by UASB process
was 58, 44mg/l and by SBR process was 10, 12mg/l. Both the processes were used for treating the wastewater
and the SBR process showed better results as comparative to UASB.

Mammogram image segmentation using rough clusteringeSAT Journals
Abstract The mammography is the most effective procedure to diagnosis the breast cancer at an early stage. This paper proposes mammogram image segmentation using Rough K-Means (RKM) clustering algorithm. The median filter is used for pre-processing of image and it is normally used to reduce noise in an image. The 14 Haralick features are extracted from mammogram image using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) for different angles. The features are clustered by K-Means, Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and Rough K-Means algorithms to segment the region of interests for classification. The result of the segmentation algorithms compared and analyzed using Mean Square Error (MSE) and Root Means Square Error (RMSE).

Detecting brain tumors from images of medical modalities like CT scan or MRI involves segmentation (Division into parts) for analysis and can be a challenging task. Accurate segmentation of brain images is very essential for proper diagnosis of tumor and non-tumor areas for clinical analysis. This paper details on segmentation algorithms for brain images, advantages, disadvantages and a comparison of the algorithms.
Comparitive study of brain tumor detection using morphological operatorseSAT Journals
Abstract
Segmentation divides an image into foreground object and the background object. In our case foreground object is brain tumor and background is CSF, white matter, and grey matter. Aim of our study is to detect the tumor and remove the background completely and compare the morphological operations that can be used for this purpose. Segmentation remains a challenging area for researchers since many segmentation methods results in over segmentation or under segmentation and hence, leads to the false interpretation of the results. The proposed work is the comparative study of the morphological segmentation methods for segmenting brain tumor from MRI images. Before segmentation, filtration process is carried out using two method, Non Local mean filter and median filter and their results are compared using MSE and PSNR. NL mean filter preserves sharp edges and fine details in an image hence, preferred over median filter. Also tumor location is identified, to get an approximate idea about the position of the tumor in the brain i.e. in which part the brain tumor is located. The tumor is identified by using different algorithms which are based on morphology such as watershed segmentation, morphological erosion, and hole filling algorithm and comparison between them is carried out based on parameters like accuracy, sensitivity and elapsed time. Each of the segmentation results are compared with the tumor obtained using interactive tool present in MATLAB R2013b.

This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10

Abstract: In the field of computers segmentation of image plays a very important role. By this method the re-
quired portion of object is traced from the image. In medical image segmentation, clustering is very famous
method . By clustering, an image is divided into a number of various groups or can also be called as clusters.
There are various methods of clustering and thresholding which have been proposed in this paper such as otsu
, region growing , K Means , fuzzy c means and Hierarchical self organizing mapping algorithm. Fuzzy c-means
(FCM) is a method of clustering which allows one piece of data to belong to two or more clusters. This method
(developed by Dunn in 1973 and improved by Bezdek in 1981) is frequently used in pattern recognition. As
process of fuzzy c mean is too slow, this drawback is then removed. In this paper by experimental analysis and
performance parameters the segmentation of hierarchical self organizing mapping method is done in a better
way as compared to other algorithms. The various parameters used for the evaluation of the performance are as
follows: segmentation accuracy (Sa) , area (A), rand index (Ri),and global consistency error (Gce) .

I. Introduction
The brain is a very important part of the body and is one of the special organ . The brain consists of
large number of cells which grow on increasing from third month upto the seven years of age. Each cell has its
own special function. When some of the cells in the body grow in an orderly way to generate new cells then the
body is healthier. But if cells grow irregularly then various cells which are in excess form a cluster or mass of
tissue known as tumor. Brain tumor is one of the most common and deadly diseases in the world. Detection of
the brain tumor in its early stage is the key of its cure [1]. Brain tumors may be benign or malignant[2].
The term gray level is often used to refer to the intensity of the monochrome images. In the field of
medical, segmentation has wide application . Color images are formed by a combination of individual 2-D im-
ages. An image may be continuous with respect to the x and y coordinates and also in amplitude. A continuous
image is converted to digital image which requires that the coordinates as well as the amplitude be digitized. By
using image segmentation, the image can be divided into various parts such as mutually exclusive and exhausted
regions. Image segmentation is an important and challenging factor in the medical image segmentation [3]. The
ultimate aim in a large number of image processing applications is to extract important features from the image
data, from which a description, interpretation, or understanding of the scene can be provided by the machine
.Image segmentation is too complex to be used in image processing and is very sensitive and important com-
ponent when image is being analyzed. In this paper various methods of image segmentation are used, men-
tioned as follows : Thresholding such as Region growing, Otsu,Clustering such as k means, Fuzzy cmeans and
Hierarchical Self Organizing mapping [4].It utilized the HSOM, thresholding and clustering methods to identify
which type of brain tumor suffered by patient regarding to the image of brain tumor from the Magnetic Reson-
ance Imaging (MRI) and scan as inputs for the network and other methods.
II. Problem Description
The required area of an image is exploited by using the undesired component, atmospheric interfe-
rence. So rather than analyzing the original image, the image segmentation technique is used.Various experi-
ments with published benchmarks are required for this research field to progress [4] .The drawback which oc-
curs in this paper is that image is divided into number of segmentation [5] .This drawback is overcome by se-
lecting an appropriate model for segmentation and then modified with reduced computational time and output is
of high quality.
III. Segmentation Of Image By Thresholding And Clustering Methods
Clustering can be taken as a process of partitioning or grouping a given portion which is an unlabeled
pattern into a large number of clusters such that a group is assigned to similar patterns. Clustering is used for
pattern recognition in image processing, and usually requires a high volume of computation. Thresholding is
2. Performance Evaluation Of Basic Segmented Algorithms For Brain Tumor Detection
www.iosrjournals.org 9 | Page
the simplest method of image segmentation. From a grayscale image, thresholding can be used to create binary
images. During the thresholding process, individual pixels in an image are marked as "object" pixels if their
value is greater than some threshold value (assuming an object to be brighter than the background) and as
"background" pixels otherwise. This convention is known as threshold above. Variants include threshold below,
which is opposite of threshold above; threshold inside, where a pixel is labeled "object" if its value is between
two thresholds; and threshold outside, which is the opposite of threshold inside. Typically, an object pixel is
given a value of “1” while a background pixel is given a value of “0.” Finally, a binary image is created by co-
loring each pixel white or black, depending on a pixel's labels. The major drawback to threshold-based ap-
proaches is that they often lack the sensitivity and specificity needed for accurate classification.
1 Fuzzy C Means Algorithm
The goal of a clustering analysis is to divide a given set of data or objects into a cluster, which
represents subsets or a group. The partition should have two properties: 1. Homogeneity inside clusters: the data,
which belongs to one cluster, should be as similar as possible. 2. Heterogeneity between the clusters: the data,
which belongs to different clusters, should be as different as possible. Clustering is a process to obtain a parti-
tion P of a set E of N objects Xi (i=1, 2,…, N), using the resemblance or dissemblance measure, such as a dis-
tance measure d. A partition P is a set of disjoint subsets of E and the element Ps of P is called cluster and the
centers of the clusters are called centroid or prototypes. Many techniques have been developed for clustering
data. In this report c-means clustering is used. It’s a simple unsupervised learning method which can be used for
data grouping or classification when the number of the clusters is known[4]. It consists of the following steps:
Step 1: Choose the number of clusters - K
Step 2: Set initial centers of clusters c1, c2… ck
Step 3: Classify each vector x [x , x ,....x ] T into the closest centre ci by Euclidean distance measure ||xi - ci ||
= min || xi -ci||
Step 4: Recomputed the estimates for the cluster centers ci. Let ci = [ci1 ,ci2 ,....cin ] T
cim be computed by, cim = Σxli ∈ Clter(Ixlim) Ni .Where, Ni is the number of vectors in the ith cluster. Step
5:If none of the cluster centers changes in step 4 stop; otherwise go to step 3.
2 K Means
It is also one of the clustering method and is very famous because it is simpler and easier in computa-
tion. It is the simplest unsupervised learning algorithms that solve the well known clustering problem. It classi-
fies the input data points into multiple classes based on their intrinsic distance from each other. The algorithm
assumes that the data features form a vector space and tries to find natural clustering in them[4]. The algorithm
which follows for the k-means clustering is given below: The cluster centers are obtained by minimizing the
objective function :
xi ∈ si ............ (1)
1.Initialize the centroids with k random values. 2. Repeat the following steps until the cluster labels of the image
do not change anymore. 3. For each data point, we calculate the Euclidean distance from the data point to the
mean of each cluster :
C (i) = arg min || x (i) - μj ||^2 …………………….......(2)
If the data point is not closest to its own cluster, it will have to be shifted into the closest cluster. If the data
point is already closest to its own cluster, we will not shift it. 4. Compute the new centroid for each of the clus-
ters. Where k is a parameter of the algorithm (the number of clusters to be found), i iterates over the all the in-
tensities, j iterates over all the centroids and μi are the centroid intensities.
3 Region Growing
Region growing comes under region-based segmentation method [5]. In this an image is partition into
regions. There is predefined criteria where there are k clusters Si , i= 1,2,….,k and μi is the centroid or mean
point of all the points, according to which groups of pixels are formed or groups of sub-regions are formed into
larger regions as a result region growing takes place If suppose there is no priori information, then the procedure
is to compute at every pixel the same set of properties that ultimately will be used to compute at every pixel the
same set of properties that ultimately will be used to assign pixels to regions during the growing process.
4 Otsu Method
In image processing, Otsu’s method is used for thresholding [6] of image by histogram method which
is done automatically. The gray level image is converted to a binary image. In this method, the image on which
this thresholding process has to be done is done in such a way that there are two models of histogram, known as
bimodal histogram of the image. In other words, there are two classes of pixels one is background and other is
3. Performance Evaluation Of Basic Segmented Algorithms For Brain Tumor Detection
www.iosrjournals.org 10 | Page
foreground. In image segmentation, the sub-division of image is done by using intensity of background and ob-
ject. So both the different regions are then distinguished by a suitable value of threshold value. It consists of two
classes within class variance and between class variance. In Otsu’s method the value the threshold is chosen
such that it minimizes the intra-class variance, defined a weighted sum of variances of the two classes :
σ2
ω(t) = ω1 (t) σ1
2
(t) + ω2(t) σ2
2
(t) ……………………………….(3)
ω1 & ω2 are weights, probabilities of the two classes separated by a threshold and variances of these
classes.In this, threshold operation is done in such a way that an image is sub-divided into two classes R0 and
R1 at gray level t. Let partitioning of the pixels is done between objects and background. Therefore, R0 = {0, 1,
2, ….t} and R1 = {t+1, t+2 … L-1}. The within-class variance, between class variance, and the total variance are
denoted by σ2w, σ2b, and σ2T respectively. So an optimal value of threshold is obtained by minimizing one of the
following (equivalent) criterion functions with respect to :
t = Arg Min η …………………………….(4)
The value of η lies between 0 & 1. There are two limits in the value of η. Where when η= upper limit =
1, then only two-valued images are given and when η= lower limit = 0, then only single constant gray-level is
given.
5 Hierarchical Self Organizing Mapping (HSOM)
A self organizing map (SOM) comes under unsupervised learning of feedback networks. SOM is
another type of neural networks also known as SOFM (Self Organizing Feature Maps).As in the brain, SOM
also has self organization property. There is direct connection between input and output devices, and output
nodes are also interconnected (different from general feed forward NN).The weights of the output nodes will be
adjusted based on the input connected to them, and also the weights of the neighborhood output nodes. There-
fore, output nodes will be ordered in a natural manner. Similar nodes will be close to each other. There are two
modes in which SOMs operate, such as : training and mapping. Training is a competitive process, also called
vector quantization. Mapping automatically classifies a new input vector. The HSOM is the extension of the
conventional self organizing map used to classify the image row by row. In this lowest level of weight vector, a
higher value of tumor pixels, computation speed is achieved by the HSOM with vector quantization. In the field
of medical, segmentation has wide application. The hierarchical self organizing map has been used for multi
scale image segmentation. The combination of self organization and graphic mapping technique is known as
HSOM. Here hybrid technique is used which has the advantages of HSOM, so as to implement for the MRI im-
age segmentation. MR brain image is loaded into MATLAB 7.0. in the form of matrix. Next initialize the va-
riables sigma, weight vector and winning neuron .In that Calculate the neighborhood function, weight vector

IV. Results And Discussion
The proposed algorithms have been implemented using MATLAB. Here various methods of image
segmentation are analyzed and discussed. In this system, based on the power of Artificial Neural Network
(ANN), a computer-aided brain tumor diagnosis based on hierarchical Self Organizing Mapping is done. It is too
much complex to measure the segmentation of image because of no common algorithm. So in order to measure
the quality of segmentation of image the statistical measurements are used. The experiment is conducted over the
five MRI images using the algorithms Hierarchical Self Organizing mapping, Region Growing, Otsu,K Means
and FCM. To evaluate the performance various parameter values are found such as rand index (Ri), global con-
sistency error (Gce), segmentation accuracy (Sa), variations of information (Vi), and area (a).
Rand Index : The Rand index (RI) counts the fraction of pairs of pixels and pixels are those whose labeling are
consistent between the segmentation which was computed and the ground truth averaging across multiple ground
truth segmentations.
Global Consistency Error : The Global consistency error (Gce) measures the extent by which one segmentation
can be viewed as a refinement of the other.
Variation of Information : The variation of information (Vi) represents the distance between two segmentations
as the average conditional entropy of one segmentation given the other, and as a result measures the amount of
randomness in one segmentation which cannot be explained by the other.
In this paper the comparison of methods i.e. cluster based algorithms, thresholding algorithms
and hierarchal self organizing mapping algorithms was done and HSOM was found as the best method for image
segmentation .Fig 4.1(a) shows the original MRI image, Fig 4.1(b) shows the ground truth image, Fig 4.1(c)
shows the segmented image of HSOM method, Fig4.1(d), (e),(f) and (g) shows the segmented images of Region
Growing, Otsu,K Means and FCM respectivly.Table4.1 shows the Segmentation Accuracy of different MRI
Images which is best for HSOM method as compared to other methods. Table 4.2 shows Areas of Ground Truth
Images and Segmented Images.Table 4.3 shows Performance Parameters for different methods.Table 4.4 shows
Average values of Ri, Gce and Vi for various methods. The Graph 4.1 shows the comparison of performance
parameters for various methods. The Graph shows the comparison of average values of rand index, average
values of global consistency error,and average values of variation of information for various methods. For better
performance Ri should be higher comparatively, Gce and Vi should be lower which is clear from the Graph 4.1.
The performance parameters chart reveals that the rand index of hierarchical self organizing mapping is higher
than others while the global consistency error and variation of information error of hierarchical self organizing
mapping is lower than others.
