algorithm, a new remote-sensing image segmentation algorithm combining the Otsu
method and K-means clustering algorithm is proposed considering their respective
characteristics. Firstly, classifying the remote sensing images by the Otsu
method quickly. Then, calculating the average of each partition and choosing
them as the initial cluster centers for K-means Clustering algorithm. Finally,
using the K-means Clustering algorithm to calculate the new centers by successive
iterations until it converges to the objective function and obtains the optimum
threshold. Several study cases are conducted to show the application of this
method to the remote-sensing image segmentation and a large number of experimental
results show that the proposed method not only overcomes the incomplete information
of the traditional Otsu algorithm, but also obtains an optimization of the K-means
clustering algorithm. The proposed algorithm achieves improvements on both of
computing speed and segmentation performance which demonstrates that its
an effective algorithm to the remote sensing image segmentation.]]>Chen, Q., L. Zhao, J. Lu, G. Kuang, N. Wang and Y. Jiang,20126426433Kang, D.H., S.Y. Shin, J.Y. Kim, J.K. Pa and H.D.
