Abstract

This paper proposes a hybrid rough K-means algorithm for image classification. The rough set theory is used to establish the lower and upper bound for data clustering in the K-means algorithm. Then, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to optimize the solutions of the rough K-means algorithm. The combined algorithm is called the Rough K-means PSO algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs better and improves the classification in the blurred and vague areas of test images.
