Clustering is a major technique used for grouping of numerical and image data in data mining and image processing applications. Clustering makes the job of image retrieval easy by finding the images as similar as given in the query image. The images are grouped together in some given number of clusters. Image data are grouped on the basis of some features such as color, texture, shape etc. contained in the images in the form of pixels. For the purpose of efficiency and better results image data…

Comparative study of clustering medical images

Two new methods for clustering medical images are proposed and GLCM and Haralick's statistical measures are used for extracting texture features from the images and k-means clustering is applied to cluster the extracted feature vectors.

MMKK++ algorithm for clustering heterogeneous images into an unknown number of clusters

An automatic clustering procedure with the main aim to predict the number of clusters of unknown, heterogeneous images using the Fisher-vector for mathematical representation of the images and these vectors were considered as input data points for the clustering algorithm.
