Image thresholding has played an important role in image segmentation. In this paper, we present a novel spatially weighted fuzzy c-means (SWFCM) clustering algorithm for image thresholding. The algorithm is formulated by incorporating the spatial ne

Fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) with spatial constraints (FCM_S) is an effective algorithm suitable for image segmentation. Its effectiveness contributes not only to introduction of fuzziness for belongingness of each pixel but also to exploitat
