Remote sensing image segmentation based on a robust fuzzy C-means algorithm improved by a parallel Levy grey wolf algorithm

摘要

Due to the insufficient use of local information, the traditional fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm and its extension algorithm combined with spatial information show poor robustness and low segmentation accuracy. In addition, in the process of image segmentation based on the FCM algorithm, the initial center estimation is regarded as the process of searching the appropriate value in the gray range. To solve these problems, a new robust algorithm is proposed in this paper. The algorithm searches the optimal initial center by introducing an improved parallel Levy grey wolf optimization algorithm, which is an improved fuzzy C-means segmentation algorithm that combines local information and adaptive gray weighting. Experimental results infer that both the precision and efficiency of the proposed method are superior to those of the state-of-arts. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America
