Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A method is presented for fuzzy clustering where at first approximate clusters are extracted sequentially and then they are refined by non-hierarchical iteration methods. Fuzzy clustering is formulated by an optimization problem and its iterative relaxation procedure is derived. Clusters are extracted from major one to minor ones and the number of clusters is estimated by the profile of total extraction degree of data. Approximate forms of cluster obtained by this sequential extraction process can be refined by cyclic iteration of cluster extraction to convergence. For an example of its application, we represent images in mixture distributions by our clustering method and use them for image retrieval where dissimilarity between two image is evaluated by the minimal amount of work that must be performed to transform one distribution into another one and we incorporate a filtering procedure to reduce retrieval time.
