Improved Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm for MR Brain Image Segmentation
Journal Title: International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Segmentation is an important aspect of medical image processing, where Clustering approach is widely used in biomedical applications particularly for brain tumor detection in abnormal Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI). Fuzzy clustering using Fuzzy C- Means (FCM) algorithm proved to be superior over the other clustering approaches in terms of segmentation efficiency. But the major drawback of the FCM algorithm is the huge computational time required for convergence. The effectiveness of the FCM algorithm in terms of computational rate is improved by modifying the cluster center and embership value updation criterion. In this paper, convergence rate is compared between the conventional FCM and the Improved FCM.
