The invention proposes a rough set based image segmentation method for quickly inhibiting fuzzy clustering. The method is used for solving the technical problems of low running speed, low segmentation accuracy and poor noise robustness of an existing image segmentation method. The method is implemented by the steps of 1, inputting a to-be-segmented image I1; 2, calculating a weighted mean of local information and a mean of non local information of pixel points xi in the image I1; 3, obtaining a reconstructed image; 4, clustering a grey level histogram of the reconstructed image; 5, judging whether a current iterative frequency is greater than a maximum iterative frequency T or not, and if yes, performing the step 6, otherwise, adding 1 to the iterative frequency and performing the step 6; 6, outputting a membership matrix and a clustering center of the obtained reconstructed image; and 7, obtaining segmented images. According to the method, the running speed of image segmentation is increased, the accuracy of segmentation is improved, and the noise robustness is enhanced; and the method can be used for feature extraction and target identification of artificially synthesized images, medical images and natural images.
