DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CLUSTERING IN IMAGE DATABASES

摘要

PURPOSE: A device and method for clustering in image databases are provided to perform clustering the image data without a parameter. CONSTITUTION: A matrices transform unit(110) changes a plurality of image into a binary matrices. A cross association method changes a row and a column order in order to minimize the amount of information which expresses the binary matrices. A cluster generating unit(120) creates a plurality of clusters by recursively applying the cross association method.
