Classification of Remotely Sensed Data using Gravitational Symbolic Clustering
2 Divisive Method
- Reduce the data by choosing an appropriate bin size and threshold. Let N be the initial number of samples in a sample set S. And let the number of clusters be equal to one, with N number of samples.
- Set a threshold value TCCSm.
- Using the similarity measure, find all the mutual pairs present in the symbolic data set.
- For all the Mutual Pairs present find the CCS 'CCSm between samples. Check if
CCSm>TCCSm, if so then split the Mutual pairs into two separate clusters. Increment the
number of clusters by 2.
- Step 3 and 4 is repeated for all the mutual pairs present at that stage.
- Determine the Cluster Indicator value for each Pth merging as in equation 6.:
- Decrement TCCSm in steps.Iterate steps 3 to 6 until a stage is reached when no replacement
of mutual pair occurs.
Results
Image of Moon taken by Galileo space craft on December 9 1990, with catalog number PIA00113 is taken for testing. Size of image is 535 * 535 with 3 features. Both Agglomerative and Divisive Gravitational Symbolic methods are considered, results are as shown in figure 1 and 2 respectively .
Plot of Cluster Index Vs Number of Clusters is also shown in figure 3.
