Plots of the results from PCA for six classes of bacteria.  An innovative data clustering approach was investigated for these bacteria data by combining the 3-dimensional scatter plot, FCM and SOM network. This is depicted in the Figure 4. In multisensor space, normalised data sets  were represented using 3-D scatter plots. From the FCM approach, a cluster centre is found for each group by min- imising a dissimilarity function [7]. These cluster centres were plotted in multisensor space. So combining the 3D scatters plot and FCM, cluster centres were properly locat- ed in multisensor space and also within the data. Various SOM networks were created and trained with the entire data set; a [6 x 1] and a [3 x 2] SOM network performed best from all other SOM networks. In the Figure 4 there are six neurones at the bottom which indicate the initial weights of the SOM before training. After 5000 epochs it was clear that the six nodes were approaching to the six cluster centres (estimated using FCM), which is more clearly evident from Figure 4. So using these three data clustering algorithms simultaneously better ‘classification’ of six eye bacteria classes were represented. A [6 x 1] SOM network gave 96% accuracy for bacteria classification which was best accuracy as far as SOM networks are con- cerned along with FCM and 3D-Scatter methods. The ob- jective of this analysis was to establish simple classes for the different bacteria species in order to examine if the data clusters could be separated for the conventional pat- tern recognition stage.
