TY - JOUR T1 - Comparing Model-based Versus K-means Clustering for the Planar Shapes TT - JF - IJMSI JO - IJMSI VL - 15 IS - 1 UR - http://ijmsi.ir/article-1-1080-en.html Y1 - 2020 SP - 99 EP - 109 KW - Shape‎ KW - ‎Clustering‎ KW - ‎K-means‎ KW - ‎Model-based‎ KW - ‎Landmark‎. N2 - ‎In some fields‎, ‎there is an interest in distinguishing different geometrical objects from each other‎. ‎A field of research that studies the objects from a statistical point of view‎, ‎provided they are‎ ‎invariant under translation‎, ‎rotation and scaling effects‎, ‎is known as the statistical shape analysis‎. ‎Having some objects that are registered using key points on the outline of the objects‎, ‎the main purpose‎ ‎of this paper is to compare two popular clustering procedures to cluster objects‎. ‎We also use some indexes‎ ‎to evaluate our clustering application‎. ‎The proposed methods are applied to the real life data.
