This paper presents a method for combining classifiers that uses
k
-nearest localized templates. The localized templates are estimated from a training set using
C
-means clustering algorithm, and matched to the decision profile of a new incoming sample by a similarity measure. The sample is assigned to the class which is most frequently represented among the
k
most similar templates. The appropriate value of
k
is determined according to the characteristics of the given data set. Experimental results on real and artificial data sets show that the proposed method performs better than the conventional fusion methods.
