Image clustering segmentation based on SLIC superpixel and transfer learning

Abstract

Traditional fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm has poor noise immunity and clustering results in image segmentation. To overcome this problem, a novel image clustering algorithm based on SLIC superpixel and transfer learning is proposed in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, SLIC superpixel method is used to improve the edge matching degree of image segmentation and enhances the robustness to noise. Transfer learning is adopted to correct the image segmentation result and further improve the accuracy of image segmentation. In addition, the proposed algorithm improves the original SLIC superpixel algorithm and makes the edge of the superpixel more accurate. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain better segmentation results.
