A modified fuzzy ART for image segmentation

Abstract

This paper presents a clustering approach for image segmentation based on a modified fuzzy ART model. The goal of the proposed approach is to find a simple model able to instance a prototype for each cluster in order to avoid complex post-processing phases. Some results and comparisons with other models present in the literature, like SOM and original fuzzy ART are presented. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations confirm the validity of our approach.
