This fact will restrict the application of clustering algorithms to complex color-textured images since the segmented output will be over-segmented.
To accomplish objectives of the review set out earlier, this section presents the application of clustering approach to a real case study.
The feasible results obtained in the practical research design suggest that application of clustering algorithms to respiratory airflow measurements could give important insights into the subtle flow shape abnormalities underlying obstructive sleep-disordered breathing.
For our application of clustering a large amount of noisy behaviour-based feature data, we decided to use the most prominent representative of the class of partitioning algorithms, the k-means approach using Lloyd's algorithm [23].
In particular, the application of clustering methods to group genes with similar expression patterns provides a powerful tool to organize and identify functionally related genes and their networks [12].
For our application of clustering behavioural feature data and using the centroids for identifying prototypical behaviours this quality measure allows us a differentiated evaluation of the individual feature prototypes and the resulting prototypical behaviours.
