Efficient Hardware Architecture for Kernel Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel VLSI architecture for kernel fuzzy c-means algorithm is presented in this paper. The architecture consists of efficient circuits for the computation of kernel functions, membership coefficients and cluster centers. In addition, the usual iterative operations for updating the membership matrix and cluster centers are merged into one single updating process to evade the large storage requirement. The circuit is used as a hardware accelerator of a softcore processor in a system-on-programmable chip for physical performance measurement. Experimental results show that the proposed solution is an effective alternative for cluster analysis with low computational cost and high performance.
