Abstract: -Clustering algorithms have successfully been applied as a digital image segmentation technique in various fields and applications. However, those clustering algorithms are only applicable for specific images such as medical images, microscopic images etc. In this paper, we present a new clustering algorithm called Image segmentation using K-mean clustering for finding tumor in medical application which could be applied on general images and/or specific images (i.e., medical and microscopic images), captured using MRI, CT scan, etc. The algorithm employs the concepts of fuzziness and belongingness to provide a better and more adaptive clustering process as compared to several conventional clustering algorithms.
