Abstract：Combined with the information entropy characteristic of image texture and the co-occurrence-matrix concept, a practical unsupervised SAR image segmentation algorithm is presented based on immune K-means clustering. It overcomes the disadvantages of local optima and sensitivity to the values and noises, and has the same fast-convergence advantage as K-means method. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has low computing complexity and strong robustness.
