โฆ Synopsis
A new method of fuzzy clustering is proposed. This is a complete Gaussian membership function derived by means of the maximum-entropy interpretation. Compared to the traditional fuzzy c-means (FCM) method, our approach exhibits the following two advantages: (1) having clearer physical meaning and well-defined mathematical features; (2) having an optimal choice for feature parameter a in theory. Moreover, we also review some existing measures of uncertainty of fuzzy sets, and redefine fuzzy entropy as analogous to probabilistic entropy.

An important problem in computer vision is to determine how features extracted from images are connected to an existing model. In this paper, we focus on solving the registration problem, i.e., obtaining Euclidean transformation parameters between several 3D data sets, whether partial or exhaustive.
The 2-D maximum entropy method not only considers the distribution of the gray information, but also takes advantage of the spatial neighbor information with using the 2-D histogram of the image. As a global threshold method, it often gets ideal segmentation results even when the imageรs signal nois
