Fuzzy Image Segmentation Based on the Hierarchical Divide and Link Clustering Algorithm

Abstract

In this paper, we present a method to obtain a Fuzzy Image Segmentation from the hierarchical clustering algorithm Divide and Link. The Divide and Link algorithm consists on treating a digital image as a graph, then building spanning forest through a Kruskal scheme to successively sort the edges while partitions are obtained. This process is driven until all the pixels of the image are segmented, that is, there are as many regions as pixels.
