Title
Segmentation of noisy images using the rank M-type L-filter and the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm
Abstract
In this paper we present an image processing scheme to segment noisy images based on a robust estimator in the filtering stage and the standard Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm to segment the images. The main objective of paper is to evaluate the performance of the Rank M-type L-filter with different influence functions and to establish a reference base to include the filter in the objective function of FCM algorithm in a future work. The filter uses the Rank M-type (RM) estimator in the scheme of L-filter, to get more robustness in the presence of different types of noises and a combination of them. Tests were made on synthetic and real images subjected to three types of noise and the results are compared with six reference modified Fuzzy C-Means methods to segment noisy images.
