Abstract

In this paper we study the sensitivity of the Self Organizing Map to several parameters in the context of the one-pass adaptive computation of cluster representatives over non-stationary data. The paradigm of Non-stationary Clustering is represented by the problem of Color Quantization of image sequences.
