Fuzzy c-Means algorithms(FCMs) with different distance measures are applied to an image classification problem in this paper. The distance measures discussed in this paper are the Euclidean distance measure and divergence distance measure. Different distance measures yield different types of Fuzzy c-Means algorithms. Experiments and results on a set of satellite image data demonstrate that the classification model employing the divergence distance measure can archive improvements in terms of classification accuracy over the models using the FCM and SOM algorithms which utilize the Euclidean distance measure.
