The weighted possibilistic c-means algorithm is an important soft clustering technique for big data analytics with cloud computing. However, the private data will be disclosed when the raw data is directly uploaded to cloud for efficient clustering. In this paper, a secure weighted possibilistic c-means algorithm based on the BGV encryption scheme is proposed for big data clustering on cloud. Specially, BGV is used to encrypt the raw data for the privacy preservation on cloud. Furthermore, the Taylor theorem is used to approximate the functions for calculating the weight value of each object and updating the membership matrix and the cluster centers as the polynomial functions which only include addition and multiplication operations such that the weighed possibilistic c-means algorithmcan be securely and correctly performed on the encrypted data in cloud. Finally, the presented scheme is estimated on two big datasets, i.e., eGSAD and sWSN, by comparing with the traditional weighted possibilisticc-means method in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and scalability. The results show that the presented scheme performs more efficiently than the traditional weighted possiblisticc-meansalgorithm and it achieves a good scalability on cloud for big data clustering.

Accurate segmentation of human brain image is an essential step for clinical study of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. However, vagueness and other ambiguity present between the brain tissues boundaries can lead to improper segmentation. possibilistic fuzzy c-means (PFcM) algorithm is the hybridization of fuzzy c-means (FcM) and possibilisticc-means (PcM) algorithms which overcomes the problem of noise in the FcM algorithm and coincident clusters problem in the PcM algorithm. A major challenge posed in the PFcM algorithm for segmentation of ill-defined MRI image with noise is to take into account the ambiguity in the final localization of the feature vectors due to lack of qualitative information. This may lead to improper assignment of membership (typicality) value to their desired cluster. In this paper, we have proposed the possibilistic intuitionistic fuzzy c-means (PIFcM) algorithm for Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFS) which includes the advantages of the PcM, FcM algorithms and A-IFS. Real and simulated MRI brain images are segmented to show the superiority of the proposed PIFcM algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm yields better result.

Image segmentation is the process of automatically dividing an image into several parts and extracting the relevant data and information. compared to the traditional Fuzzy c-meansalgorithm, the possibilisticc-means (PcM) algorithm has advantages in reducing the influence of noise on cluster center estimation. However, the PcM algorithm still shows poor clustering performance under high-intensity noise, which may lead to overlapping cluster centers. considering the impact of neighborhood information of image pixels on the image segmentation results, this paper proposes a Vector-Based possibilisticc-means (VBPcM) algorithm. The algorithm incorporates neighborhood information and uses a vector representation method to describe image pixels. Additionally, an adjustable distance based on an exponential function is proposed to describe the similarity between vectors. The proposed VBPcM algorithm outperforms the conventional PcM, obtaining uplifiting gains of 4%, 2%, and 9% in Pixel Accuracy, Mean Pixel Accuracy, and Mean Intersection over Union, respectively. The experimental outputs illustrate that VBPcM algorithmcan achieve more satisfactory cluster effect with high-intensity noise, further perform better in image segmentation task.

In this paper, we have focused on the use of the support vector data description based on kernel-based possibilistic c-means algorithm (PcM) for solving multi-class classification problems. We propose a weighted support vector data description (SVDD) multi-class classification method, which can be used to deal with the outlier sensitivity problem in traditional multi-class classification problems. The proposed method is the robust version of SVDD by assigning a weight to each data point, which represents fuzzy membership degree of the cluster computed by the kernel-based PcM method. Accordingly, this paper presents the multi classification algorithm and gives the simple classification rule, which satisfies Bayesian optimal decision theory. With a simple classification rule, our experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce the effect of outliers and reduce the rate of classification error.

Brain tissue segmentation is one of the most important parts of clinical diagnostic tools. Fuzzy c-mean (FcM) is one of the most popular clustering based segmentation methods. However FcM does not robust against noise and artifacts such as partial volume effect (PVE) and inhomogeneity. In this paper, a new approach for robust brain tissue segmentation is described. The proposed method quantifies the volumes of white matter (WM), gray matter (GM) and cerebrospinal fluid(cSF) tissues using hybrid clustering process which based on: (1) FcM algorithm to get the initial center partition. (2) Geneticalgorithms (GA) to achieve optimization and to determine the appropriate cluster centers and the fuzzy corresponding partition matrix. (3) possibilisticc-means (PcM) algorithm for volumetric measurements of WM, GM, and cSF brain tissues. (4) Rule of the possibility maximum to compute the labeled image in decision step. The experiments were realized using different real and synthetic brain images from patients with Alzheimer's disease. We used Tanimoto coefficient, sensitivity and specificity validity indexes to validate the proposed hybrid approach and we compared the performance with several competing methods namely FcM and PcM algorithms. Good result was achieved which demonstrates the efficiency of proposed clustering approach and that it can outperforms competing methods especially in the presence of PVE and when the noise and spatial intensity inhomogeneity are high.

This paper describes an automatic segmentation approach for PET and T1-weighted MR images using a possibilisticclustering algorithm for deriving fuzzy tissue maps of white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal fluid volumes, and using the fuzzy c-meansalgorithm for the centers initialization process;this hybrid technique allows to compute the degree of membership of each voxel to different brain tissues. The fuzzy process is illustrated for Alzheimer's disease using phantom images from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Our method, inspired from the conventional possibilisticalgorithm, is less sensitive to noise while taking into consideration the effect of partial volume.
