Abstract: Segmentation is a fundamental step in image description or classification. In recent years, several computational models have been used to implement segmentation methods but without establishing a single analytic solution. However, the intrinsic properties of neural networks make them an interesting approach, despite some measure of inefficiency. This paper presents a clustering approach for image segmentation based on a modified fuzzy approach for image segmentation (ART) model. The goal of the proposed approach is to find a simple model able to instance a prototype for each cluster avoiding complex post-processing phases. Results and comparisons with other similar models presented in the literature (like self-organizing maps and original fuzzy ART) are also discussed. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations confirm the validity of the approach proposed.
