lots of method for segmenting MRI brain image data. introducing multiple fuzzy membership grades [6].
B. Adaptive Fuzzy K-Means (AFKM) clustering Algorithm
White Cerebrospinal

(WM) (CSF) In this paper, AFKM method is recommended to be used to
process MRI images. It is the latest type of clustering algorithm
proposed by [7]. The AFKM is combination of fundamental
theories of conventional K-means and MKM clustering
algorithm (i.e., assigning each data to its closet centre or cluster)
and the conventional Fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering
algorithm (i.e., allows the data to belong to two or more clusters
or centres). The objective function of AFKM is calculated using
