TLDR
It is shown that competitive learning converges to approximate the optimum solution based on this criterion, theoretically and experimentally, and its efficiency as a color image segmentation method is shown.
Abstract
Presents a color image segmentation method which divides the color space into clusters. Competitive learning is used as a tool for clustering the color space based on the least sum-of-squares criterion. We show that competitive learning converges to approximate the optimum solution based on this criterion, theoretically and experimentally. We apply this method to various color scenes and show its efficiency as a color image segmentation method. We also show the effects of using different color coordinates to be clustered, with some experimental results. >

Some methods for classification and analysis of multivariate observations

TL;DR: The k-means algorithm as mentioned in this paper partitions an N-dimensional population into k sets on the basis of a sample, which is a generalization of the ordinary sample mean, and it is shown to give partitions which are reasonably efficient in the sense of within-class variance.
