Pattern Recognition for Machine Vision

As taught in: Fall 2004

Series of images illustrating color and position clustering.

Example of color and position clustering: Each pixel is represented by a its color/position features (R, G, B, wx, wy), where w is a constant. Clustering is applied to group pixels with similar color and position. (Image by Dr. Bernd Heisele.)
