Aiming at the difficulty of selecting initial cluster centers in image segmentation based on fuzzy C-mean（ FCM） algorithm

a FCM image segmentation method based on improved biogeography optimization（ BBO）algorithm is proposed. The improved BBO algorithm is used to improve the global search performance of the optimal solution. Unlike the traditional BBO algorithm

the improved BBO algorithm uses new migration strategy and mutation operator. To evaluate the method

the FCM image segmentation experiments based on the genetic algorithm and the standard BBO algorithm is also carried out

when the proposed method is used to segment typical images. Experimental results show that the proposed method has good convergence stability

can effectively shorten the iteration time and improve the segmentation accuracy.
