I understand that you are looking for a method to implement K means Clustering algorithm,
The “k-means clustering” algorithm is an unsupervised learning technique used to partition a dataset into ‘k’ clusters. In the context of image segmentation, each pixel in the image is treated as a data point, and the algorithm groups similar pixels together based on their feature values.
To apply the “k-means clustering” algorithm in MATLAB, you can use the “kmeans” function. Here's an example code you may refer to understand how to use the "kmeans" function for image segmentation,
% Load the ultrasound image
image = imread('ultrasound_image.png');
% Convert the image to grayscale
grayImage = rgb2gray(image);
% Reshape the image into a column vector
data = double(grayImage(:));
% Normalize the data
data = (data - min(data)) / (max(data) - min(data));
% Apply k-means clustering with different kernel methods
k = 2; % Number of clusters
maxIterations = 100; % Maximum number of iterations
% Linear kernel
[idx_linear, centroids_linear] = kmeans(data, k, 'Distance', 'sqeuclidean', 'MaxIter', maxIterations);
% RBF kernel
[idx_rbf, centroids_rbf] = kmeans(data, k, 'Distance', 'cityblock', 'MaxIter', maxIterations);
% Reshape the segmented image
segmented_linear = reshape(centroids_linear(idx_linear), size(grayImage));
segmented_rbf = reshape(centroids_rbf(idx_rbf), size(grayImage));
% Display the segmented images
figure;
subplot(1, 2, 1);
imshow(segmented_linear, []);
title('Linear Kernel');
subplot(1, 2, 2);
imshow(segmented_rbf, []);
title('RBF Kernel');
The linear kernel calculates similarity using squared Euclidean distance, assuming data is in a straight line. The RBF kernel measures similarity based on Euclidean distance, assuming data is distributed in a curve. These kernel methods allow the k-means clustering algorithm to handle different types of data distributions and capture complex patterns in the data.
You can experiment with different values of k and try different feature representations of the image (e.g., using colour information) to improve the segmentation results.
You can also refer to the below documentation links if required,
I hope this helps you get started with applying the k-means clustering algorithm for ultrasound image segmentation!
