We propose a FCM based image segmentation algorithm using multi color components. Firstly

the image is converted from RGB color space to HSI color space

and initial clustering centers of H component and I component are selected according to the data distribution. Then

the FCM algorithm is performed on the H component and I component

and we can obtain the image pixel membership for H component and I component. Finally

two dimensional image features are constructed with the image pixel membership

and the FCM based image segmentation is performed using two dimensional image features. Experimental results show that the proposed method is simple and work well for most images

and has better segmentation effect than the existing FCM color image segmentation.
