DETECTION OF HUMAN BLADDER CANCER CELLS USING IMAGE PROCESSINGprj_publication
Bladder cancer presents a spectrum of different diatheses. A precise assessment for
individualized treatment depends on the accuracy of the initial diagnosis. In this method the
performance of the level set segmentation is subject to appropriate initialization and optimal

Texture features within images are actively pursued for accurate and efficient glaucoma classification. Energy distribution over wavelet subband is applied to find these important texture features. In this paper, we investigate the discriminatory potential of wavelet features obtained from the Daubechies (db3), symlets (sym3), and biorthogonal (bio3.3, bio3.5, and bio3.7) wavelet filters. We propose a novel technique to extract energy signatures obtained using 2-D discrete wavelet transform, and subject these signatures to different feature ranking and feature selection strategies. Here my project aims at the use of Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN), Fuzzy C-means (FCM) and K-means helps for the detection of glaucoma disease. For this, fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm and k-means algorithm is used. Fuzzy c-means results faster and reliably good clustering when compare to k-means.

The approach combines multi-degree immersion and entropy algorithms (multi-degree entropy algorithm) to determine the optimal number of clusters in an image without human input. Multi-degree immersion first segments the image into multiple levels based on intensity. Entropy is then used to merge regions to arrive at the final cluster number based on a validity function. The method is tested on simulated and real MRI data and shown to produce accurate results, outperforming other validity indices. The approach provides an automatic way to determine the appropriate number of clusters for segmenting medical images.

A Pattern Classification Based approach for Blur Classificationijeei-iaes
Blur type identification is one of the most crucial step of image restoration. In case of blind restoration of such images, it is generally assumed that the blur type is known prior to restoration of such images. However, it is not practical in real applications. So, blur type identification is extremely desirable before application of blind restoration technique to restore a blurred image. An approach to categorize blur in three classes namely motion, defocus, and combined blur is presented in this paper. Curvelet transform based energy features are utilized as features of blur patterns and a neural network is designed for classification. The simulation results show preciseness of proposed approach.

Associative Regressive Decision Rule Mining for Predicting Customer Satisfact...csandit
Opinion mining also known as sentiment analysis, involves customer satisfactory patterns,
sentiments and attitudes toward entities, products, services and their attributes. With the rapid
development in the field of Internet, potential customer’s provides a satisfactory level of
product/service reviews. The high volume of customer reviews were developed for
product/review through taxonomy-aware processing but, it was difficult to identify the best
reviews. In this paper, an Associative Regression Decision Rule Mining (ARDRM) technique is
developed to predict the pattern for service provider and to improve customer satisfaction based
on the review comments. Associative Regression based Decision Rule Mining performs twosteps
for improving the customer satisfactory level. Initially, the Machine Learning Bayes
Sentiment Classifier (MLBSC) is used to classify the class labels for each service reviews. After
that, Regressive factor of the opinion words and Class labels were checked for Association
between the words by using various probabilistic rules. Based on the probabilistic rules, the
opinion and sentiments effect on customer reviews, are analyzed to arrive at specific set of
service preferred by the customers with their review comments. The Associative Regressive
Decision Rule helps the service provider to take decision on improving the customer satisfactory
level. The experimental results reveal that the Associative Regression Decision Rule Mining
(ARDRM) technique improved the performance in terms of true positive rate, Associative
Regression factor, Regressive Decision Rule Generation time and Review Detection Accuracy of

A Cross Layer Based Scalable Channel Slot Re-Utilization Technique for Wirele...csandit
Due to tremendous growth of the wireless based application services are increasing the demand
for wireless communication techniques that use bandwidth more effectively. Channel slot reutilization
in multi-radio wireless mesh networks is a very challenging problem. WMNs have
been adopted as back haul to connect various networks such as Wi-Fi (802.11), WI-MAX
(802.16e) etc. to the internet. The slot re-utilization technique proposed so far suffer due to high
collision due to improper channel slot usage approximation error. To overcome this here the
author propose the cross layer optimization technique by designing a device classification
based channel slot re-utilization routing strategy which considers the channel slot and node
information from various layers and use some of these parameters to approximate the risk
involve in channel slot re-utilization in order to improve the QoS of the network. The simulation
and analytical results show the effectiveness of our proposed approach in term of channel slot
re-utilization efficiency and thus helps in reducing latency for data transmission and reduce
channel slot collision.

With the increasing growth of Internet and World Wide Web, information retrieval (IR) has
attracted much attention in recent years. Quick, accurate and quality information mining is the
core concern of successful search companies. Likewise, spammers try to manipulate IR system
to fulfil their stealthy needs. Spamdexing, (also known as web spamming) is one of the
spamming techniques of adversarial IR, allowing users to exploit ranking of specific documents
in search engine result page (SERP). Spammers take advantage of different features of web
indexing system for notorious motives. Suitable machine learning approaches can be useful in
analysis of spam patterns and automated detection of spam. This paper examines content based
features of web documents and discusses the potential of feature selection (FS) in upcoming
studies to combat web spam. The objective of feature selection is to select the salient features to
improve prediction performance and to understand the underlying data generation techniques.
A publically available web data set namely WEBSPAM - UK2007 is used for all evaluations.

A Pattern Classification Based approach for Blur Classificationijeei-iaes
Blur type identification is one of the most crucial step of image restoration. In case of blind restoration of such images, it is generally assumed that the blur type is known prior to restoration of such images. However, it is not practical in real applications. So, blur type identification is extremely desirable before application of blind restoration technique to restore a blurred image. An approach to categorize blur in three classes namely motion, defocus, and combined blur is presented in this paper. Curvelet transform based energy features are utilized as features of blur patterns and a neural network is designed for classification. The simulation results show preciseness of proposed approach.
IRJET- Brain Tumor Detection using Digital Image ProcessingIRJET Journal
This document discusses techniques for detecting brain tumors using digital image processing of MRI scans. It begins with an introduction to brain anatomy and tumors. The methodology section then outlines the steps used: 1) Preprocessing images using median filtering to reduce noise, 2) Segmenting images using techniques like k-means clustering, fuzzy c-means, and watershed to separate tumor regions, 3) Extracting features from segmented regions, and 4) Classifying images using the features to detect the presence of tumors. The goal is to develop an automated system to help doctors diagnose brain tumors more accurately from MRI scans.
The document presents a new method for segmenting MR brain images that combines a hidden Markov random field (HMRF) model with a hybrid metaheuristic optimization algorithm. The HMRF model uses adaptive parameters to balance contributions from different tissue classes during segmentation. The hybrid metaheuristic algorithm improves the quality of solutions during HMRF optimization by combining the cuckoo search and particle swarm optimization algorithms. Experimental results on simulated and real MR brain images show the proposed method achieves satisfactory segmentation performance for images with noise and intensity inhomogeneity.

Opinion mining also known as sentiment analysis, involves customer satisfactory patterns,
sentiments and attitudes toward entities, products, services and their attributes. With the rapid
development in the field of Internet, potential customer’s provides a satisfactory level of
product/service reviews. The high volume of customer reviews were developed for
product/review through taxonomy-aware processing but, it was difficult to identify the best
reviews. In this paper, an Associative Regression Decision Rule Mining (ARDRM) technique is

Sentiment Classifier (MLBSC) is used to classify the class labels for each service reviews. After
that, Regressive factor of the opinion words and Class labels were checked for Association
between the words by using various probabilistic rules. Based on the probabilistic rules, the
opinion and sentiments effect on customer reviews, are analyzed to arrive at specific set of
service preferred by the customers with their review comments. The Associative Regressive
Decision Rule helps the service provider to take decision on improving the customer satisfactory
level. The experimental results reveal that the Associative Regression Decision Rule Mining

A Cross Layer Based Scalable Channel Slot Re-Utilization Technique for Wirele...csandit
Due to tremendous growth of the wireless based application services are increasing the demand
for wireless communication techniques that use bandwidth more effectively. Channel slot reutilization
in multi-radio wireless mesh networks is a very challenging problem. WMNs have
been adopted as back haul to connect various networks such as Wi-Fi (802.11), WI-MAX
(802.16e) etc. to the internet. The slot re-utilization technique proposed so far suffer due to high
collision due to improper channel slot usage approximation error. To overcome this here the
author propose the cross layer optimization technique by designing a device classification
based channel slot re-utilization routing strategy which considers the channel slot and node
information from various layers and use some of these parameters to approximate the risk
involve in channel slot re-utilization in order to improve the QoS of the network. The simulation
and analytical results show the effectiveness of our proposed approach in term of channel slot
re-utilization efficiency and thus helps in reducing latency for data transmission and reduce
channel slot collision.

Segmentation and Labelling of Human Spine MR Images Using Fuzzy Clustering csandit
Computerized medical image segmentation is a challenging area because of poor resolution
and weak contrast. The predominantly used conventional clustering techniques and the
thresholding methods suffer from limitations owing to their heavy dependence on user
interactions. Uncertainties prevalent in an image cannot be captured by these techniques. The
performance further deteriorates when the images are corrupted by noise, outliers and other
artifacts. The objective of this paper is to develop an effective robust fuzzy C- means clustering
for segmenting vertebral body from magnetic resonance images. The motivation for this work is
that spine appearance, shape and geometry measurements are necessary for abnormality
detection and thus proper localisation and labelling will enhance the diagnostic output of a
physician. The method is compared with Otsu thresholding and K-means clustering to illustrate
the robustness. The reference standard for validation was the annotated images from the
radiologist, and the Dice coefficient and Hausdorff distance measures were used to evaluate the
segmentation.

Optical Character recognition is the method of digitalization of hand and type written or
printed text into machine-encoded form and is superfluity of the various applications of envision
of human’s life. In present human life OCR has been successfully using in finance, legal,
banking, health care and home need appliances. India is a multi cultural, literature and

GEOMETRIC CORRECTION FOR BRAILLE DOCUMENT IMAGEScsandit
Braille system has been used by the visually impaired people for reading.The shortage of Braille
books has caused a need for conversion of Braille to text. This paper addresses the geometric
correction of a Braille document images. Due to the standard measurement of the Braille cells,
identification of Braille characters could be achieved by simple cell overlapping procedure. The
standard measurement varies in a scaled document and fitting of the cells become difficult if the
document is tilted. This paper proposes a line fitting algorithm for identifying the tilt (skew)
angle. The horizontal and vertical scale factor is identified based on the ratio of distance
between characters to the distance between dots. These are used in geometric transformation
matrix for correction. Rotation correction is done prior to scale correction. This process aids in
increased accuracy. The results for various Braille documents are tabulated.
A Routing Protocol Orphan-Leach to Join Orphan Nodes in Wireless Sensor Netwo...csandit
The hierarchical routing protocol LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) is
referred to as the basic algorithm of distributed clustering protocols. LEACH allows clusters
formation. Each cluster has a leader called Cluster Head (CH). The selection of CHs is made
with a probabilistic calculation. It is supposed that each non-CH node join a cluster and
becomes a cluster member. Nevertheless, some CHs can be concentrated in a specific part of the
network. Thus several sensor nodes cannot reach any CH. As a result, the remaining part of the
controlled field will not be covered; some sensor nodes will be outside the network. To solve this
problem, we propose O-LEACH (Orphan Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) a routing
protocol that takes into account the orphan nodes. Indeed, a cluster member will be able to play
the role of a gateway which allows the joining of orphan nodes. If a gateway node has to
connect a important number of orphan nodes, thus a sub-cluster is created and the gateway
node is considered as a CH’ for connected orphans. As a result, orphan nodes become able to
send their data messages to the CH which performs in turn data aggregation and send
aggregated data message to the CH. The WSN application receives data from the entire network
including orphan nodes.
The simulation results show that O-LEACH performs better than LEACH in terms of
connectivity rate, energy, scalability and coverage.

REVIEW PAPER ON NEW TECHNOLOGY BASED NANOSCALE TRANSISTORmsejjournal
Owing to the fact that MOSFETs can be effortlessly assimilated into ICs, they have become the heart of the
growing semiconductor industry. The need to procure low power dissipation, high operating speed and
small size requires the scaling down of these devices. This fully serves the Moore’s Law. But scaling down
comes with its own drawbacks which can be substantiated as the Short Channel Effect. The working of the
device deteriorates owing to SCE. In this paper, the problems of device downsizing as well as how the use
of SED based devices prove to be a better solution to device downsizing has been presented. As such the
study of Short Channel effects as well as the issues associated with a nanoMOSFET is provided. The study
of the properties of several Quantum dot materials and how to choose the best material depending on the
observation of clear Coulomb blockade is done. Specifically, a study of a graphene single electron
transistor is reviewed. Also a theoretical explanation to a model designed to tune the movement of
electrons with the help of a quantum wire has been presented.

This document describes an approach to modify the energy band diagram and decrease the dimensions of field-effect heterotransistors. The approach involves manufacturing a heterostructure with a substrate and epitaxial layer with four doped sections - two channel sections separated by source and drain sections. Additional doping of the channel sections allows for modification of the energy band diagram. Analytical models are developed to optimize the dopant concentration profiles through solving diffusion equations considering temperature-dependent diffusion coefficients. This approach could enable more compact transistor designs with tunable energy band structures.

CROSS DATASET EVALUATION OF FEATURE EXTRACTION TECHNIQUES FOR LEAF CLASSIFICA...ijaia
In this work feature extraction techniques for leaf classification are evaluated in a cross dataset scenario.
First, a leaf identification system consisting of six feature classes is described and tested on five established
publicly available datasets by using standard evaluation procedures within the datasets. Afterwards, the
performance of the developed system is evaluated in the much more challenging scenario of cross dataset
evaluation. Finally, a new dataset is introduced as well as a web service, which allows to identify leaves
both photographed on paper and when still attached to the tree. While the results obtained during
classification within a dataset come close to the state of the art, the classification accuracy in cross dataset
evaluation is significantly worse. However, by adjusting the system and taking the top five predictions into
consideration very good results of up to 98% are achieved. It is shown that this difference is down to the
ineffectiveness of certain feature classes as well as the increased severity of the task as leaves that grew
under different environmental influences can differ significantly not only in colour, but also in shape.

This document discusses image segmentation techniques using clustering algorithms. It introduces Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering, which allows data points to belong to multiple clusters with varying degrees of membership. However, FCM does not work well on noisy or non-linearly separable data. The document proposes the Kernel Fuzzy C-Means (KFCM) algorithm, which uses a kernel function to map data to a higher dimensional space, making separation easier. While improving results for noisy images, KFCM does not consider neighboring pixels. Finally, the document introduces the Novel Modified Kernel Fuzzy C-Means (NMKFCM) algorithm, which incorporates neighborhood information into the objective function to further improve segmentation accuracy, especially for noisy images

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.

Comparison of Image Segmentation Algorithms for Brain Tumor DetectionIJMTST Journal
This paper deals with the implementation of Simple Algorithms for detection of size and shape of tumor in brain using MRI images. Generally, CT scan or MRI that is directed into intracranial cavity produces a complete image of brain. This image is visually examined by the physician for detection & diagnosis of brain tumor. However this method of detection resists the accurate determination of stage & size of tumor. To avoid that, this project uses computer aided method for segmentation (detection) of brain tumor by applying Fuzzy C-Means, K-Means, Gaussian Kernel and Pillar K-means algorithms. This segmentation process includes a new mechanism for clustering the elements of high-resolution images in order to improve precision and reduce computation time. The system applies FCM, Gaussian kernel and K-means clustering to the image later optimized by Pillar Algorithm. It designates the initial centroids’ positions by calculating the Euclidian distance metric between each data point and all previous centroids. Then it selects data points which have the maximum distance as new initial centroids. This algorithm distributes all initial centroids according to the maximum accumulated distance metric. In addition, it also reduces the time for analysis. At the end of the process the tumor is extracted from the MRI image and its exact position and the shape is also determined. This paper evaluates the proposed approach for Brain tumor detection by comparing with K-means, Fuzzy C means, Gaussian Kernel and manually segmented algorithms. The experimental results clarify the effectiveness of proposed approach to improve the segmentation quality in aspects of precision and computational time.
In recent machine learning community, there is a trend of constructing a linear logarithm version of
nonlinear version through the ‘kernel method’ for example kernel principal component analysis, kernel
fisher discriminant analysis, support Vector Machines (SVMs), and the current kernel clustering
algorithms. Typically, in unsupervised methods of clustering algorithms utilizing kernel method, a
nonlinear mapping is operated initially in order to map the data into a much higher space feature, and then
clustering is executed. A hitch of these kernel clustering algorithms is that the clustering prototype resides
in increased features specs of dimensions and therefore lack intuitive and clear descriptions without
utilizing added approximation of projection from the specs to the data as executed in the literature
presented. This paper aims to utilize the ‘kernel method’, a novel clustering algorithm, founded on the
conventional fuzzy clustering algorithm (FCM) is anticipated and known as kernel fuzzy c-means algorithm
(KFCM). This method embraces a novel kernel-induced metric in the space of data in order to interchange
the novel Euclidean matric norm in cluster prototype and fuzzy clustering algorithm still reside in the space
of data so that the results of clustering could be interpreted and reformulated in the spaces which are
original. This property is used for clustering incomplete data. Execution on supposed data illustrate that
KFCM has improved performance of clustering and stout as compare to other transformations of FCM for
clustering incomplete data.
FUZZY SEGMENTATION OF MRI CEREBRAL TISSUE USING LEVEL SET ALGORITHMAM Publications
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.

Survey on clustering based color image segmentation and novel approaches to f...eSAT Journals
Abstract Segmentation is an important image processing technique that helps to analyze an image automatically. Applications involving detection or recognition of objects in images often include segmentation process. This paper describes two unsupervised clustering based color image segmentation techniques namely K-means clustering and Fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering. The advantages and disadvantages of both K-means and Fuzzy C-means algorithm are also presented in this paper. K-means algorithm takes less computation time as compared to Fuzzy C-means algorithm which produces result close to that of K-means. On the other hand in FCM algorithm each pixel of an image can have membership to more than one cluster which is not in case of K-means algorithm, an advantage to FCM method. Color images contain wide variety of information and are more complicated than gray scale images. In image processing, though color image segmentation is a challenging task but provides a path for image analysis in practical application fields. Secondly some novel approaches to FCM algorithm for better image segmentation are also discussed such as SFCM (Spatial FCM) and THFCM (Thresholding FCM). Basic FCM algorithm does not take into consideration the spatial information of the image. SFCM specially focus on spatial details and contribute towards image segmentation results for image analysis. It introduces spatial function into FCM algorithm membership function and then operates with available spatial information. THFCM is another approach that focus on thresholding technique for image segmentation. It main task is to find a discerner cluster that will act as automatic threshold. These two approaches shows how better segmentation results can be obtained.

set of unlabelled objects into a number of clusters such that similar objects are allocated to one
cluster. There are two main approaches to clustering [2].One method is crisp clustering (or hard
clustering) ,and the other one is fuzzy clustering. A characteristic of the crisp clustering method is
that the boundary between clusters is fully defined. However, in many cases, the boundaries
between clusters cannot be clearly defined. Some patterns may belong to more than one cluster. In
such cases, the fuzzy clustering method provides a better and more useful method to classify these
patterns. The FCM employs fuzzy partitioning such that a data pixel can belong to all groups with
different membership grades between 0 and 1.FCM is an iterative algorithm. The aim of FCM is to
find cluster centers (centroids) that minimize objective function. The KFCM is derived from the
original FCM based on the kernel method [3].KFCM algorithm is extended which incorporates the
neighbor term into its objective function [4].Fuzzy clustering is a widely applied method for
acquiring fuzzy patterns from data and become the main method of unsupervised pattern
recognition. Drawback for FCM algorithm is sensitive to noise or outlier. Drawbacks of FCM were
solved by introducing KFCM .In Wu and Gao’s paper [5], the Mercer Kernel based method was
investigated. They proposed the KFCM algorithm which is extended from FCM algorithm. It is
shown to be more robust than FCM .N.A.Mohamed , M.N.Ahmed et al.[6] described the
application of fuzzy set theory in medical imaging. In the proposed system, the content set for the
various MRI real time images is used to calculate the low intensity area in the in homogeneity form
will attain best result for the segmentation and outperforms existing techniques resulting in better
accuracy and predicting factor. This method is applicable in different scale of image for different
orientation in segmenting the images. Intensity In homogeneity images based Clustering approach
is used to overcome the curve in the images, to represent the pure segmented images. Here in
previous approach such as Fuzzy c means it fails to target the clustered set point, which fits in the
imperfect noisy scaled images in the analysis domain, process of imperfection occurrence in the
images due to overlap of the pixel with the different intensity, outcomes lower cluster
segmentation in the minimum level for MRI images. GKFCM clustering approach will calculate
the estimated parameter automatically for the image data. The clustering process is applied in MRI
medical image, for separate group according to their pixel intensity, which is done with the process
called Kernel based Fuzzy C means clustering. Where kernel value is selected based on the
activities of the membership function. Group of features will selected based on the proper tuning
rate of the kernel value, helps in detecting the region separately, level based segmentation is
analyzed to detect the intensity region separately, when it comes to in homogeneity Medical
images, it is a difficult task for this approach to identify the low intensity region, it can be done by
applying the suitable filters to process those images. Initial Impact in clustering of medical images
is the drawback in extracting the biological features and it became difficult in identifying the
clustered region in similar part of the medical images. Reduction of inhomogeneity in the noisy
Medical Images is the extreme end task, and analyzing it feature is open problem and challenging
task which yields less attention of approach, which effect the less segmentation accuracy.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1 K-Means Algorithm
K-means is one of the simplest unsupervised learning algorithms that solve the well known
clustering problem. The procedure follows a simple and easy way to classify a given data set
through a certain number of clusters (assume k clusters) fixed a priori. The main idea is to define k
centroids, one for each cluster. These centroids shoud be placed in a cunning way because of
different location causes different result. So, the better choice is to place them as much as possible
far away from each other. The next step is to take each point belonging to a given data set and
associate it to the nearest centroid. When no point is pending, the first step is completed and an
early groupage is done. At this point we need to re-calculate k new centroids as barycenters of the
3. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 49
clusters resulting from the previous step. After we have these k new centroids, a new binding has to
be done between the same data set points and the nearest new centroid. A loop has been generated.
As a result of this loop we may notice that the k centroids change their location step by step until no
more changes are done. In other words centroids do not move any more. Finally, this algorithm
aims at minimizing an objective function, in this case a squared error function. The objective
function

ADVANTAGES
1) K-Means algorithm is very fast.
2) It is robust and easier to understand.
3) Relatively efficient in the sense it runs in O(tknd) where t is the number of iterations ,k is
the number of
Clusters ,n is the number of objects and d is the dimension of each object.
DISADVANTAGES
1) K-Means algorithm requires a priori specification of the number of cluster centers.
2) If there are two highly overlapping data then k-means algorithm will not be able to
resolve that there are two clusters and is said to be the use of exclusive assignment.
3) It is not invariant to non-linear transformations in the sense we get different results
with different representation of data. Data represented in form of cartesian
co-ordinates and polar co-ordinates will give different results.
4) It provides the local optima of the squared error function.
5) Randomly choosing of the cluster center cannot lead to the good result.
6) Applicable only when mean is defined.
7) Unable to handle noisy data and outliers.
8) It fails for non-linear data set.
2.2.The Fuzzy C Means Clustering Algorithm(FCM)
The fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm is one of the most traditional and classical image
segmentation algorithms. The FCM algorithm can be minimized by the following objective
function. Consider a set of unlabeled patterns X, let X={x1,,x2,. ..,xN}, x ∈ Rf, where N is the
number of patterns and f is the dimension of pattern vectors (features). The FCM algorithm focuses
4. 50 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
on minimizing the value of an objective function. The objective function measures the quality of
the partitioning that divides a dataset into c clusters. The algorithm is an iterative clustering method
that produces an optimal c partition by minimizing the weighted within group sum of squared error
objective function. Fuzzy c-means (FCM) is a method of clustering which allows one piece of data
to belong to two or more clusters. This method is frequently used in pattern recognition. It is based
on minimization of the following objective function

where m is any real number greater than 1, uij is the degree of membership of xi in the
cluster j, xi is the ith
of d-dimensional measured data, cj is the d-dimension center of the cluster, and
||*|| is any norm expressing the similarity between any measured data and the center. Fuzzy
partitioning is carried out through an iterative optimization of the objective function shown above,
with the update of membership uij and the cluster centers cj by

ADVANTAGES
1)FCM gives best result for overlapped data set.
2)It is comparatively better than k-means algorithm.
3) Data point is assigned membership to each cluster center as a result of which data point may
belong to more than one cluster center whereas in the case of k-means algorithm data point
must exclusively belong to one cluster center.
DISADVANTAGES
1) FCM requires a priori specification of the number of clusters.
2) Euclidean distance measures can unequally weight underlying factors.
3) We get the better result with lower value of β but at the expense of more number of
iterations.
2.3.The Kernel Fuzzy C Means Clustering Algorithm(KFCM)
The KFCM algorithm adds kernel information to the traditional fuzzy c-means algorithm and it
overcomes the disadvantage that FCM algorithm can’t handle the small differences between
clusters. . The kernel method maps nonlinearly the input data space into a high dimensional feature
5. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 51
space. The essence of kernel-based methods involves performing an arbitrary non-linear mapping
from the original d-dimensional feature space Rd to a space of higher dimensionality (kernel
space). The kernel space could possibly be of infinite dimensionality. The rationale for going to
higher dimensions is that it may be possible to apply a linear classifier in the kernel space while the
original problem in the feature space could be highly non-linear and not separable linearly . The
kernel method then takes advantage of the fact that dot products in the kernel space can be
expressed by a Mercer kernel K. Thus the distance in the kernel space does not have to be explicitly
computed because it can be replaced by a Mercer kernel function (typically referred to as a kernel
trick). There are two major forms of kernel-based fuzzy clustering. The first one comes with
prototypes constructed in the feature space. These clustering methods will be referred to as
KFCM-F (with F standing for the feature space). In the second category, abbreviated as KFCM-K,
the prototypes are retained in the kernel space and thus the prototypes must be approximated in the
feature space by computing an inverse mapping from kernel space to feature space. The advantage
of the KFCM-F clustering algorithm is that the prototypes reside in the feature space and are
implicitly mapped to the kernel space through the use of the kernel function.

5. CONCLUSION
Clustering is one of the efficient techniques in medical and other image segmentation. The primary
advantage of the research work is that it includes the kernel method, the effect of neighbour pixel
information to improve the clustering accuracy of an image, and to overcome the disadvantages of
the known FCM algorithm which is sensitive to the type of noises. The aim of this paper is to
propose a new kernel-based fuzzy level set algorithm for automatic segmentation of medical
images with intensity in homogeneity. It employs Gaussian kernel-based fuzzy clustering as the
initial level set function. It can approximate the boundaries of ROI with parameter estimation
simultaneously well. It provides noise-immunity and preserves image details. It can be useful in
various fields like medical image analysis, such as tumor detection, study of anatomical structure,
and treatment planning
