Scene Oriented Classification of Blurry and Noisy Images Using SVM with Fuzzy C Mean Clustering

Abstract

Image classification is a challenging task in image processing especially in the case of blurry and noisy images. In this work, we present an extension of scene oriented hierarchical classification of blurry and noisy images using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Fuzzy C-Mean. Generally, a system for scene-oriented classification of blurry and noisy images attempts to simulate major features of the human visual observation. These approaches are  based on three strategies such as Global pathway for extracting essential signature of image, local pathway for extracting local features, and then outcome of both global and local phase are combined and define feature vector and clustered using Monte Carlo approach. Afterwards, these clustered results are fed to a SOTA Algorithm (combination of self organizing map and hierarchical clustering) for final classification. But in these approaches, combination of self organizing map and hierarchical clustering has the problem in terms of accuracy and computation time of classification, especially when used large dataset for classification. To overcome this problem, we propose a combination of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Fuzzy C-mean. Our proposed approach provides better result in terms of accuracy, especially when used with large dataset. The proposed method is computationally efficient because fuzzy c-mean clustering is faster and less time consuming as compared to hierarchical clustering.
