Locality preserving clustering for image database

Published: 10 October 2004 Publication History

Abstract

It is important and challenging to make the growing image repositories easy to search and browse. Image clustering is a technique that helps in several ways, including image data preprocessing, user interface designing, and search result representation. Spectral clustering method has been one of the most promising clustering methods in the last few years, because it can cluster data with complex structure, and the (near) global optimum is guaranteed. However, existing spectral clustering algorithms, like Normalized Cut, are difficult to handle data points out of training set. In this paper, we propose a clustering algorithm named Locality Preserving Clustering (LPC), which shares many of the data representation properties of nonlinear spectral method. Yet LPC provides an explicit mapping function which is defined everywhere, both on training data points and testing points. Experimental results show that LPC is more accurate than both "direct Kmeans" and "PCA + Kmeans". We also show that LPC produces in general comparable results with Normalized Cut, yet is more efficient than Normalized Cut.
