k-MS: A novel clustering algorithm based on morphological reconstruction
This work proposes a clusterization algorithm called k-Morphological Sets (k-MS), based on morphological reconstruction and heuristics. k-MS is faster than the CPU-parallel k-Means in worst case scenarios and produces enhanced visualizations of the dataset as well as very distinct clusterizations. It is also faster than similar clusterization methods that are sensitive to density and shapes such as Mitosis and TRICLUST. In addition, k-MS is deterministic and has an intrinsic sense of maximal clusters that can be created for a given input sample and input parameters, differing from k-Means and other clusterization algorithms. In other words, given a constant k, a structuring element and a dataset, k-MS produces k or less clusters without using random/ pseudo-random functions. Finally, the proposed algorithm also provides a straightforward means for removing noise from images or datasets in general.

Residual-Sparse Fuzzy $C$-Means Clustering Incorporating Morphological Reconstruction and Wavelet frames
Instead of directly utilizing an observed image including some outliers, noise or intensity inhomogeneity, the use of its ideal value (e.g. noise-free image) has a favorable impact on clustering. Hence, the accurate esti…
