Abstract

A method was developed for soil erosion image segmentation based on improved K- means clustering in order to solve some problem with the traditional K-means clustering method. First, the peaks was detected in the smoothed histogram of a gray-scale image, and sort peaks in descending order; then the number of clusters K is determined according to the number of main peaks in the smoothed histogram, while the grey value of a peak is selected as a cluster center; finally, the weighted Euclidean distance was applied to measure the similarity instead of simple Euclidean distance. Experiment results show that the improved K-means clustering method can not only shorten the process of convergence to the object but also get a more reasonable clustering result. It is effective and suitable for soil erosion images segmentation.
