<abstract>
<p>Evolutionary computation tools are able to process real valued numerical sets in order to extract suboptimal solution of designed
problem. Data clustering algorithms have been intensively used for image segmentation in remote sensing applications. Despite of
wide usage of evolutionary algorithms on data clustering, their clustering performances have been scarcely studied by using clustering
validation indexes. In this paper, the recently proposed evolutionary algorithms (i.e., Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC), Gravitational
Search Algorithm (GSA), Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CS), Adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm (JADE), Differential
Search Algorithm (DSA) and Backtracking Search Optimization Algorithm (BSA)) and some classical image clustering techniques
(i.e., k-means, fcm, som networks) have been used to cluster images and their performances have been compared by using four clustering
validation indexes. Experimental test results exposed that evolutionary algorithms give more reliable cluster-centers than classical
clustering techniques, but their convergence time is quite long.</p>
