A Novel Fuzzy Clustering Method with No Outliers Influence
Li-Jen Kao, Yo Ping Huang · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013
Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm can be used to classify hand gesture images in human-robot interaction application. However, FCM algorithm does not work well on those images in which noises exist. The noises or outliers make all the cluster centers towards to the center of all points. In this paper, a new FCM algorithm is proposed to detect the outliers and then make the outliers have no influence on centers calculation. The experiment shows that the new FCM algorithm can get more accurate centers than the traditional FCM algorithm.
