High Resolution Sonar Image Segmentation by PSO Based Fuzzy Cluster Method

In this paper, we manage to use the clustering method realize sonar image segmentation. A particle swarm optimization (PSO) based FCM algorithm (PSO-FCM) is proposed which PSO incorporate with Fuzzy Clustering Method (FCM). The algorithm takes the clustering result of PSO as the initialization of the FCM, and uses fuzzy measures and fuzzy integrals to express the adapt function. At last, the algorithm is applied to the high resolution sonar image segmentation. Segmentation results of FCM and PSO-FCM for several sonar images are compared, which show that the PSO-FCM algorithm has better performance and fit for the sonar image segmentation better than the FCM does.
