A new clustering method based on morphological operations

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a new clustering method based on the morphological operations.

• We transform the dataset into the image space and connect the neighboring points by morphological dilation.

• The connected domains with different labels are generated by iterative morphological dilation.

• The points in the dataset are clustered based on their distances to the labeled connected domains.
