Image Segmentation Using Credibility Critical Values

S. Sampath, R. Senthil Kumar

Abstract


In this paper, a method of creating fuzzy data matrix (a matrix whose elements are fuzzy variables) representing an image is proposed. Further, a study on image segmentation carried out on the basis of such a matrix is carried out. This work considers three methods of crisp conversion available in credibility theory. Their performances have been evaluated under k-means clustering and rough k-means clustering with the help of a mammogram using appropriate validity measures.
