AutoIntensityClassification

Classifies all pixels of a grayscale image using the k-means clustering method.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction: This algorithm segments the input image into a user-defined number of regions and assigns the same label to pixels sharing similar intensity characteristics. It implements the k-means clustering method, which is a standard for performing unsupervised classification into a known number of classes $K$.

Let $S$ denote the set of image intensities. The input image can be a color image, so $S$ is a set of vectors in which each element corresponds to an image channel. A label is assigned to each pixel of the output image, corresponding to the class assigned to its input intensity vector.

$K$ is the number of classes to obtain, which is the main parameter of the algorithm. The size of the subset $S'$ is also a parameter of the algorithm, given as a percentage of the input data.
