As an alternative to the k-means clustering the k-spatial medians clustering has many good points because of advantages of spatial median. However, it has not been used a lot since it needs heavy computation. If the number of objects and the number of variables are large the computation time problem is getting serious. In this study we propose fast algorithm for the k-spatial medians clustering. Practical applicability of the algorithm is shown with some numerical studies.

Fast and high-quality document clustering algorithms play an important role in providing data exploration by organizing large amounts of information into a small number of meaningful clusters. Hierarchical clustering improves the performance of retrieval and makes that users can understand easily. For outperforming of clustering, we implemented hierarchical structure with variety and readability, by careful selection of cluster topic words and deciding the number of clusters dynamically. It is important to select topic words because hierarchical clustering structure is summarizes result of searching. We made choice of noun word as a cluster topic word. The quality of topic words is increased $33\%$ as follows. As the topic word of each cluster, the only noun word is extracted for the top-level cluster and the used topic words for the children clusters were not reused.

Ganglion cysts are benign soft tissues usually encountered in the wrist. In this paper, we propose a method to extract a ganglion cyst region from ultrasonography images by using image segmentation. The proposed method using the possibilistic c-means (PCM) clustering method is applicable to ganglion cyst extraction. The methods considered in this thesis are fuzzy stretching, median filter, PCM clustering, and connected component labeling. Fuzzy stretching performs well on ultrasonography images and improves the original image. Median filter reduces the speckle noise without decreasing the image sharpness. PCM clustering is used for categorizing pixels into the given cluster centers. Connected component labeling is used for labeling the objects in an image and extracting the cyst region. Further, PCM clustering is more robust in the case of noisy data, and the proposed method can extract a ganglion cyst area with an accuracy of 80% (16 out of 20 images).

Cluster analysis has been widely used in many applications, such that pattern analysis or recognition, data analysis, image processing, market research on on-line or off-line and so on. Clustering can identify dense and sparse regions among data attributes or object attributes. But it requires many hours to get clusters that we want, because of clustering is more primitive, explorative and we make many data an object of cluster analysis. In this paper we propose a new method of clustering using sample based on grid. It is more fast than any traditional clustering method and maintains its accuracy. It reduces running time by using grid-based sample. And other clustering applications can be more effective by using this methods with its original methods.

A dataset can be clustered by merging the bucket indices that come from the random projection of locality sensitive hashing functions. It should be noted that for this to work the merging interval must be calculated first. To improve the feasibility of large scale data clustering in high dimensional space we propose an enhanced Locality Sensitive Hashing Clustering Method. Firstly, multiple hashing functions are generated. Secondly, data points are projected to bucket indices. Thirdly, bucket indices are clustered to get class labels. Experimental results showed that on synthetic datasets this method achieves high accuracy at much improved cluster speeds. These attributes make it well suited to clustering data in high dimensional space.

Wireless sensor networks are composed of a large number of sensor nodes with limited energy resources. One critical issue in wireless sensor networks is how to gather sensed information in an energy efficient way, since their energy is limited. The clustering algorithm is a technique used to reduce energy consumption. It can improve the scalability and lifetime of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we introduce a clustering protocol with mode selection (CPMS) for wireless sensor networks. Our scheme improves the performance of BCDCP (Base Station Controlled Dynamic Clustering Protocol) and BIDRP (Base Station Initiated Dynamic Routing Protocol) routing protocol. In CPMS, the base station constructs clusters and makes the head node with the highest residual energy send data to the base station. Furthermore, we can save the energy of head nodes by using the modes selection method. The simulation results show that CPMS achieves longer lifetime and more data message transmissions than current important clustering protocols in wireless sensor networks.

In this research, we presented an effective clustering method based on ICA for the analysis of huge Raman hyperspectral dental data. The hyperspectral dataset captured by HR800 micro Raman spectrometer at UMKC-CRISP(University of Missouri-Kansas City Center for Research on Interfacial Structure and Properties), has 569 local points. Each point has 1,005 hyperspectal dentin data. We compared the clustering effectiveness and the clustering time for the case of using all dataset directly and the cases of using the scores after PCA and ICA. As the result of experiment, the cases of using the scores after PCA and ICA showed, not only more detailed internal dentin information in the aspect of medical analysis, but also about 7~19 times much shorter processing times for clustering. ICA based approach also presented better performance than that of PCA, in terms of the detailed internal information of dentin and the clustering time. Therefore, we could confirm the effectiveness of ICA for the analysis of Raman hyperspectral dental data.

Rapid Development and adoption of AIS as a survailance tool has resulted in widespread application of data analysis technology, in addition to AIS ship trajectory clustering. AIS data-based clustering has become an increasingly popular method for marine traffic pattern recognition, ship route prediction and anomaly detection in recent year. In this paper we propose a route waypoint extraction by clustering ships CoG variance trajectory using Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Application with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm in both port approach channel and coastal waters. The algorithm discovers route waypoint effectively. The result of the study could be used in traffic route extraction, and more-so develop a maritime anomaly detection tool.

Due to recent increase in applications requiring huge amount of data such as spatial data analysis and image analysis, clustering on large databases has been actively studied. In a hierarchical clustering method, a tree representing hierarchical decomposition of the database is first created, and then, used for efficient clustering. Existing hierarchical clustering methods mainly adopted the bottom-up approach, which creates a tree from the bottom to the topmost level of the hierarchy. These bottom-up methods require at least one scan over the entire database in order to build the tree and need to search most nodes of the tree since the clustering algorithm starts from the leaf level. In this paper, we propose a novel top-down hierarchical clustering method that uses multidimensional indexes that are already maintained in most database applications. Generally, multidimensional indexes have the clustering property storing similar objects in the same (or adjacent) data pares. Using this property we can find adjacent objects without calculating distances among them. We first formally define the cluster based on the density of objects. For the definition, we propose the concept of the region contrast partition based on the density of the region. To speed up the clustering algorithm, we use the branch-and-bound algorithm. We propose the bounds and formally prove their correctness. Experimental results show that the proposed method is at least as effective in quality of clustering as BIRCH, a bottom-up hierarchical clustering method, while reducing the number of page accesses by up to 26～187 times depending on the size of the database. As a result, we believe that the proposed method significantly improves the clustering performance in large databases and is practically usable in various database applications.

With the increasing demands for mobile wireless sensor networks in recent years, designing an energy-efficient clustering and routing protocol has become very important. This paper provides an analytical model to evaluate the power consumption of a mobile sensor node. Based on this, a clustering algorithm is designed to optimize the energy efficiency during cluster head formation. A genetic algorithm technique is employed to find the near-optimal threshold for residual energy below which a node has to give up its role of being the cluster head. This clustering algorithm along with a hybrid routing concept is applied as the near-optimal energy-efficient routing technique to increase the overall efficiency of the network. Compared to the mobile low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy protocol, the simulation studies reveal that the energy-efficient routing technique produces a longer network lifetime and achieves better energy efficiency.
