Fuzzy cluster-validity criterion tends to evaluate the quality of fuzzy c-partitions produced by fuzzy clustering algorithms. Many functions have been proposed. Some methods use only the properties of fuzzy membership degrees to evaluate partitions. Others techniques combine the properties of member

An important goal in cluster analysis is the internal validation of results using an objective criterion. Of particular relevance in this respect is the estimation of the optimum number of clusters capturing the intrinsic structure of your data. This paper proposes a method to determine this optimum
A novel approach to fuzzy clustering for image segmentation is described. The fuzzy C-means objective function is generalized to include a spatial penalty on the membership functions. The penalty term leads to an iterative algorithm that is only slightly different from the original fuzzy C-means alg
