QUAC: Quick unsupervised anisotropic clustering

作者:

Highlights:

• Completely unsupervised clustering algorithm for multidimensional data.

• Anisotropic—it does not assume spherical clusters or use isotropic kernels.

• Fast—an excellent tool for performing rapid cluster analysis on data—much faster than mean-shift.

• Excellent initialisation for a Gaussian mixture model.

• Qualitative and quantitative results show superiority over well-known methods in accuracy and speed.
