Description
Summary:This paper presents an automatic effective intuitionistic fuzzy c-means which is an extension of standard intuitionisitc fuzzy c-means (IFCM). We present a model called RBF Kernel based intuitionistic fuzzy c-means (KIFCM) where IFCM is extended by adopting a kernel induced metric in the data space to replace the original Euclidean norm metric. By using kernel function it becomes possible to cluster data, which is linearly non-separable in the original space, into homogeneous groups by transforming the data into high dimensional space. Proposed clustering method is applied on synthetic data-sets referred from various papers, real data-sets from Public Library UCI, Simulated and Real MR brain images. Experimental results are given to show the effectiveness of proposed method in contrast to conventional fuzzy c-means, possibilistic c-means, possibilistic fuzzy c-means, noise clustering, kernelized fuzzy c-means, type-2 fuzzy c-means, kernelized type-2 fuzzy c-means, and intuitionistic fuzzy c-means.
