This paper proposes a color image segmentation algorithm based on affinity propagation clustering. Firstly, the color image is converted to other color space; and then color image is sampled, and the sampling data is clustered by affinity propagation algorithm with given the number, then we can get their class label of the rest data according to the maximum similarity rules; finally, using the regional combined methods ,we can remove independent small regions, and get revised image segmentation result. The simulation experiment shows that this method can achieve the application of affinity propagation algorithm in large-scale color image segmentation. And it has a faster processing speed and satisfactory segmentation results, more in line with the human whole visual perception.
