Abstract
In this paper we propose an image coding approach based on Alternative Fuzzy c-Means. Our main objective is to provide an immediate access to targeted features of interest in a high quality decoded image. This technique is useful for intelligent devices, as well as for multimedia content-based description standards. The use of AFcM reduces the coding time in comparison to the traditional clustering algorithm FcM. A second stage coding is applied using entropy coding to remove the whole image entropy redundancy. In the decoding phase, we suggest the application of a nonlinear anisotropic diffusion, based on Perona-Malik equation, to enhance the quality of the coded image. Qualitative evaluation confirms the validity of the proposed approach.
