Several modified FCM algorithms, using local spatial information, can overcome this problem to some degree. However, when the noise level in the image is high, these algorithms still cannot obtain satisfactory segmentation performance. In this paper, we introduce a non local spatial constraint term into the objective function of FCM and propose a fuzzy c- means clustering algorithm with non local spatial information （FCM_NLS）. FCM_NLS can deal more effectively with the image noise and preserve geometrical edges in the image. Performance evaluation experiments on synthetic and real images, especially magnetic resonance （MR） images, show that FCM NLS is more robust than both the standard FCM and the modified FCM algorithms using local spatial information for noisy image segmentation.展开更多
