Abstract: We propose a novel Fast Optimal Fuzzy C-Means (FOFCM) clustering algorithm to improve target recognition in image processing. FOFCM can find the best clustering number of images by exploiting the characteristics of the given images, and reduce the segmentation time significantly at the same time. Experiments on serials images are employed to demonstrate the performance of FOFCM. The experiment results show that FOFCM has significantly better performance and lower complexity than previously proposed approaches. The correct recognition rate is increased by 29.24%, which is 94.59%. The clustering efficiency is improved by 6-132 times.
